Great position taken by Edwards.
Since the TP has been co-opted, it is doubtful that anything good will come of them, unless we are able to do our own co-opting before the good members of the TP are betrayed and dissected into many unusable pieces.
Is the Tea Party racist? The NAACP thinks so. And the Council of Conservative Citizens, a white pride group, agrees.
Of course the Tea Party is racist, crowed a blog post on the Council's website yesterday -- and it would be proud of its racism if it weren't wussy.
The post was written by James Edwards, a radio show host and author of Racism Schmacism. His website, the Political Cesspool, declares as its motto: "Conservatism is dead. Liberalism has no answers. What comes next? The rise of ethnopolitics."
After the NAACP passed a recent resolution condemning the Tea Party as a bunch of bigots, the ragtag band of would-be American revolutionaries launched into denials. That's because they're week-kneed, lily-livered racists whose instinct is to "bend over and grab their ankles", wrote Edwards, who suggested they connect with their inner-cackling villains:
"Instead of replying with a loud BWAHAHAHA! or a 'Yeah? What's your point?' or 'So what?' or 'Of course we're racists - we're white people. That's what "racist" means' or 'Can any of you race hustlers even spell "racist"?' The Tea Party predictably went into their usual bend over and grab their ankles mode. They protested that oh no, we're not racists at all, we don't tolerate racists at our rallies which are really huge rainbow coalitions."
Edwards is right. The Tea Party is hiding the truth about itself: Racist groups are quietly welcomed at its starchy street fairs, even right here in Florida.
Last January, a state chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC) set up shop at a Tea Party rally in Invernness, Citrus County. Senate candidate and Tea-Party darling Marco Rubio headlined the event, while the CCC handed out pamphlets and swag.
They wrote a proud blog entry about it: "Florida CofCC works crowd at TEA party." The
Anti-Defamation League warned of the group's attendance a day ahead of time.
The CCC extols the free market and other conservative shibboleths. But it dislikes "the mixture of the races," and, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, looks upon black people as a "retrograde species of humanity" and abhors Jews.
Last May, its CEO insisted to New Times that its secret member-list includes mixed-race people, blacks and a Japanese Shinto practitioner. But it wouldn't be a white pride group
without plenty of whites - from working stiffs, he said, to law enforcement officials, doctors, lawyers, professors, and office-holders of both political parties.

I forgot to mention that a few comments on the above Link, might be in order.

White Americans want what white Americans have always had until recently:minimal government that encourages high personal and moral responsibility. These are the values that made America great.
The invasion and immigration of more tribal peoples is radically changing the collective demands of voters. Tribal peoples want tribal (socialist) policies.
Tea partiers are not racists. They are just sticking up for their historic values.
On the other hand, if all the non-whites can do is call them racists,the tea-partiers should accept the label to totally disarm their ignorant, abusive opposition.![]()
Good question. You kind of got me there.
I see the TP movement as being full of traditional people, not white nationalists. They realize that they have no representation in the two party/one party system.
I see the tea-parties are a transitional movement to something else. They could possibly get more radical as frustration levels increase,and support A3P. As I see it though, they are not there yet. I can't see them being suckered by campaign promises by Repubs/Dems again, though.
I guess the real answer to your question is: I don't know at this time.![]()
You have a good mind...and I am playing Devil's Advocate.
However, the premise stands:
Tea Party people, in the main, are White europeans, having been raised in a once common, american experience; knowing that, as we do, and having admitted the fundamental truth of 'race-culture', that is, the common-sense reality of US, as a People, as a group, as a political power, are made up of a particular Race.
Moreover, with that being said, what we see now in the TP gatherings, is the last vestige of the 'silent majority', and time and circumstance for them is fast closing. This leaves the rest of us, including the millions of individual children, future members of our 'tribe', which will have nothing but Compromise, and defeatists, those who would trash our commonality, as european colonists, making a brighter future for their Posterity, braving cold, famine, War, disease and the like, to create what many of us, take for granted.
The Tea Party, being a collection of individuals who, like us, seeing their 'paychecks' disappear, pales in comparison to what WE see as our Blood and Culture vanishing as well.
The Tea Party belongs to White Nationalism, not the other way around. The sooner individual members and politicos understand this, the better.
