Black members of tea party dispute racist claims

WASHINGTON (AP) - Black members of the tea party movement on Wednesday rejected charges of racism by the group's activists, saying they oppose President Barack Obama because of his policies not his skin color.

The members gathered at a Washington news conference in the wake of allegations about its rank and file, heightened by the recent split with a Tea Party Express leader who had posted a letter on his blog written from "Colored People" to Abraham Lincoln. The post suggested that black people would choose slavery over having to do real work.

The black members said the racism that has been attributed to the tea party movement came from outsiders who infiltrated the groups to discredit their work and it should be rejected.

"These people do not oppose Barack Obama because of his skin color. They oppose him because of his policies," said Lloyd Marcus, a spokesman for the group.

The NAACP last month approved a resolution condemning racism within the tea party movement and called on activists to "repudiate the racist element and activities" within the political movement.

At the news conference, several members assailed Obama and the Democrats, often in harsh terms.

"Democrats have re-enslaved America," said Kevin Jackson, president of the Black Conservative Coalition. He said tea party activists, if successful, would reduce the size of government and set in motion another Emancipation Proclamation, the document that President Abraham Lincoln signed that effectively ended slavery.

"This time, even the white folks get freed," said Jackson, who accused Obama of viewing fellow blacks as "mongrels."

Other speakers called Democrats white supremacists and elitists. Conservative Moms for America leader Mary Baker said Democrats were pushing "anti-God politics."

"Destroy America. That's what the D in Democrat Party means," she said.

Alan Keyes, who unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. Senate against Obama in 2004, said the president "got elected on a virulent form of racism" by exploiting his race during the 2008 campaign.

The Tea Party Express, one of dozens of libertarian-leaning and anti-tax groups, organized the meeting with reporters to denounce  racism and then accused its opponents of using allegations of racism to censor dissent.

Alan Keyes can be right sometimes (although for the most bizarre reasons).  He opposes this 14th amendment nonsense that the republicans are trying to raise.

There is racism in the tea bag movement. What Kevin Jackson says about it doesn't matter. Jackson is like the house slave who told the white man that slavery was OK. That person was still a slave, but since he approved of his enslavement then it ratified a certain opinon of a specific segment of white society that slavery was approved of by all blacks.

There willl always be a certain part of any population who will not mind doing harm to the rest because they make a few dollars or gain a little political power from supporting their own demise. Jackson is one of those people. His ass is free because of he motions of the FEDERAL government. His ass can vote because of the FEDERAL goverment, states did not give him such rights, the FEDERAL government did so. So he should simply shut his mouth because everything he has today is due to the motions of the FEDERAL government.
