quote: 1. Color is not the issue. The policies of the government is the issue. I would say that was true.... I saw one of those "colored" people being interviewed, and he has a Tshirt about gay marriage on... so he was obviously there for a certain agenda. Here is the thing, just because people can be divided on the basis of culture wars (IE gay marriage, abortion, prayer in school, Islamophobia.. etc etc etc) does not mean that they are supporting causes that will benefit them. I mean, seriously, look at what the senate minority leader McConnell is against tax cuts being extended for the middle class and poor and small businesses... if people were going to support what was good for them, they would rain hell fire down on MCConnell's head

But hey, that's okay... if you think it's funny at least you're having fun. [:D] K. How is he lying? This video is highly discriminating of its canidates for an interview. This isn't an 'on the spot interview', but one in which the person was targeted mainly for the color of their skin. Isn't that the defination of 'discrimination'? Isn't that being racist? Look at the background, to the skin color of folks at the gathering. What is their skin color? The grand majority I see are white (not just the majority, but the grand majority). Its a fair bet from what I've seen, that there's a similar percentage who are very racist in the crowd (whether they show it or not). And that group really doesnt like the minority citizens. Joether, and what are "white" people, chopped liver? When did "caucaision" become, "not a color?" Or, are you saying "white people don't count?" And you see racists in the crowd? Boy, you're good! Could you p.m. me the mega millions numbers for tonight? You're making a lot of assumptions.

[:)] Firm Firm, they said there were "no people of color" (meaning blacks, asians?) at Tea Party events. So, they show them some and now the naysayers seem to be unsatisfied with the "number" (of non-caucaisions?) and seem to be trying to shift their positions to,... "not enough?" What if there were 100, 500, 2,000? At what point would they reconoiter? Maybe,..."317?" Am I close? DomKen, there are two "racists" so therefor "everyone" is "racist?" Ergo proptor hoc. "There are two M.D.s in that crowd so therefor everyone in the crowd must be an M.D.?" I can see why you got so twisted up in that "global warming" crap.That's fine but you were trying to "sell" it to others as well.

Any group that excludes people because of the color of their skin is a racist group. The tea partiers do not exclude anyone.

I think it's kind of "racist" that certain people would assume that "people of color" wouldn't be interested in changing the way our govt. does things! But, what would I know, I'm just a beeg GIRRR-LEY MAHNNN zitting he-ah aht my FUOOKING KEE BORD!

So, communists and socialists, racists and muslims gun rights obstructionists and spend and taxers are all welcome to come down and have a little sip of tea? Who fuckin knew?

servantforuse -> RE: In Search of People of Color (at a "TEA party rally") (9/14/2010 12:22:38 PM)
Many liberals, some of which are regulars here on collarme, still beileve that only whites can be racists. This thread proves just that.

If they believed in the same thing that most of the TEA party people do, then by definition they wouldn't be communists, socialists, racists, and all the rest of the strawmen that you attempted to throw out. Good attempt though, Ron! [:D] Firm

no strawmen thrown out whatsoever, your comprehension fading all of a sudden? please read the statement that was made, then the direct response. I know you at least on the layist level know what a strawman is, and what I did isn't it.

Do you think illegal aliens would have gun rights, john birchers, Democrats , Republicans or The Minutemen at their rallies? Of course not. They (would) have communists, socialists, illegals, illegal sympathizers, "community organizers", "la raza", mechi-whatever it is and any "left-wing" entity would be welcomed I'm sure.

quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen quote: ORIGINAL: FirmhandKY So, you now admit that there are "People of Color" in the background? And your argument now is "there ain't enough of them"? (see Kirata's multiple comments) Of course, this begs the question ... if I had taken your position, and you had found the people, then you would have said that I had "lied". So ... would you classify your earlier comments as "a lie" or "being blind"? Firm You flat out made up as many people of color as you found. Now I've watched the silly little video twice and the point the media has made still stands, the racial makeup of these rallies is statistically significant in who is underrepresented. Thats odd, I thought you had posted in another thread that people of color are not under represented in the tea party. I was giving you too much credit. The fact is they arent under represented. 12% of the tea party is non-white. 20% of the US population self identifies as non-white. Since about 2/3 of those are black, and they traditionally are close to 90% Democrat you would expect at most 11% of the tea party to be non-white.

This is a classic strawman, because it does not address the argument forwarded nor the argument in response. An illegal immigrant rally? Fascinating concept. Aren't these already called INS roundups?

hertz -> RE: In Search of People of Color (at a "TEA party rally") (9/14/2010 1:50:26 PM)
Question: 'Person Of Colour' - is that a politically acceptable term to describe black people in the US? Or is 'People Of Colour' a term used to describe non-Caucasian people? Or does it mean something else I haven't thought of? I only ask because I have never heard it used in the UK, where we tend to use simple (and sometimes not especially useful) descriptives like Black, White, Dual Heritage, Asian, Chinese etc...

Archer -> RE: In Search of People of Color (at a "TEA party rally") (9/14/2010 2:25:20 PM)
DomKen trying to use that LIE about Dick Armey Starting the whole thing again? "The fact the whole thing got started by Dick Armey? " The Tea Party rallies and taxx protests started before Dick Armey came around. Dick Armey DID NOT START THE TEA PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The original idea started with a woman named Keli Carender. Dick Armey came along some 3 or so months later with his Freedom Works group trying harness the power for his own means. Again the TRUTH is that a Seatle woman named Keli Carender started the Tea Party Movement. But the guy who loves to call others liar will undoubably fail to admit his own lie pointed out here.
