Black Tea Party Candidates Erupt At NAACP

African-American tea party candidates erupted Wednesday over an NAACP resolution labeling the grass-roots conservative movement as “racist.”

“I have not experienced the racism that the NAACP is touting,” Vernon Parker, an African-American tea party congressional candidate in Arizona, told Politico.

Parker, former mayor of Paradise Valley, told Politico that he has never felt out of place at a tea party rally because of the color of his skin.

“When I go to tea party events, people don’t look at me any differently,” he said. “They didn’t judge me on the color of my skin, quite frankly, they judged me on my principles."

Another African-American tea party candidate, Tim Scott, a GOP congressional nominee in South Carolina, echoed Parker’s sentiments in a statement to Politico.

“I believe that the NAACP is making a grave mistake in stereotyping a diverse group of Americans who care deeply about their country and who contribute their time, energy and resources to make a difference,” Scott said.

“As I campaign in South Carolina, I participate in numerous events sponsored by the tea party, 9/12, Patriot, and other like-minded groups, and I have had the opportunity to get to know many of the men and women who make up these energetic grass-roots organizations,” Scott added.

“Americans need to know that the tea party is a color-blind movement that has principled differences with many of the leaders in Washington, both Democrats and Republicans.”

4:33, LOL

While I don't think the tea party is racist, don't try to BS everyone into thinking it is some vast multicultural establishment. It's just an offshoot of the most conservative of the Republican party. Some of the most ideaological of the crew. I'm not knocking it, just don't try to BS people into thinking that it has the backing of the vast cross section of America.

try u tube it has allot of black tea party supporters just becuase a majority of blacks back Obmaba becuase of his skin. Does not mean the movement is racist. The poporation of blacks on the dole supports the reason why they back him.

4:33-Any smart African American(or any person of color for that matter) wouldn't support the Democrats, the supporters of extending slavery("States rights"), and the founders of the KKK. The fact is, not many brothers are gonna show up to a rally that's mostly whites. Just ain't the smart thing to do, as history has taught them. But don't believe for one second the majority of brothers are still brain washed by the party built on slavery and the kkk. There is a reason why Martin Luther King Jr was a Republican. He was smart.

Without racism the NAACP doesn't exist and will put a bunch of freeloaders out of a job. If it doesn't exist they will create it.
