Racist Letter of Tea Party Leader Mark Williams

The National Tea Party Federation has expelled conservative commentator and Tea Party Express spokesman Mark Williams over a fictional letter Williams wrote on his blog last week from "Colored People" to Abraham Lincoln. ARTICLE

The Entire Letter:

Dear Mr. Lincoln

We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!

In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the 'tea party movement'.

The tea party position to "end the bailouts" for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn't that what we want all Coloreds to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us coloreds! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.

And the ridiculous idea of "reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government." What kind of massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!

The racist tea parties also demand that the government "stop the out of control spending." Again, they directly target Colored People. That means we Colored People would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.

Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government "stop raising our taxes." That is outrageous! How will we Colored People ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?

Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.

Sincerely

Precious Ben Jealous, Tom's Nephew National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Head Colored Person

The Tea Party & Racism - ThinkProgress

What if the Tea Party was Black?

A few months ago, Tim Wise wrote a widely circulated article called, "Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black" which challenged America to take a close look at the hypocrisy of the Right Wing. Now, a Pittsburgh rapper is accepting his challenge in true Hip Hop form. Jasiri X has released a video called "What if the Tea Party was Black."

Tea Party Movie Trailer 2010



I gotta ask, what the hell is up with all the black people in the trailer? As if the Tea Party movement was an African American Movement? Why do I ask this?

Well, for one the Tea Party itself only consists of 1% Black, and 89% White Americans [1]. Over 50% of Tea Party members think too much importance is being given to the problems facing the African American community [2]. And only 41% think for certain that Obama was born in US [3]. So why do so many black people appear in the trailer? Could it be they're trying to not look like a bunch of red-neck racists, hmmmmmm.

[1] Tea Party Supporters: Who They Are and What They Believe
[2] Poll: Most Tea Partiers Believe Too Much Made of Problems Facing Blacks
[3] Poll: "Birther" Myth Persists Among Tea Partiers, All Americans

And of course with Fox News you get bullshit headlines like this:
Black Conservatives Take Lead Role in Tea Party Movement
