ORIGINAL: domiguy Are all tea baggers racist? No. But the under current is there. It is not a party that was spontaneously created by the fiscally concerned it was a choreographed movement that has racist undertones. Really? I'm confused here, I remember going to the first tea parties, and they weren't about Obama at all. In fact they sprung up before the primaries. SPONTANEOUSLY, by Ron Paul supporters. It was about the Constitution and Libertarianism not about Obama. It was about taking the republican party back from those dickwad neo-cons. Perhaps, you are confused about how the tea party movement started. With that said some of the parties have been hijacked by neocons, and I no longer attend. However, out of the 10 or so I did attend I never once seen or heard anything racist. Actually, there were people of creeds and race. I have seen some racist statements in pictures, but it my belief (from experience) that these people are a minority and most tea party members(neocon or otherwise) don't endorse nor support racism in anyway. There are bad apples in every group of people, every community, and every organization. I think racism will seize to exist when we stop viewing each other as belonging to groups, white, black, Asian, christian, muslim, jew, and start viewing people as simply people. Who are only subject to judgement based on their individual actions.
