White supremacy is still alive.
News commentator Keith Olbermann has it right. He's noticed that the fledgling right-wing tea-party, consists almost exclusively of white people. Very white people. At their rallies, you don't find a black face. No Hispanics either. In fact, a complete absence of minorities. No reason to be surprised about that. Because they want the USA to return to the good old days. When America's power structure consisted entirely of lily white people. When blacks and minorities were subjugated. Little wonder that their venom is aimed at Barack Obama. Now it's time for more than Olbermann to notice the true nature and white complexion of the tea-party crowd. Sad to say. The white supremacy movement is still alive, isn't it? --Jim Broede

“It’s telling how bitterly the self-proclaimed post-racialists keep fixating on the race of Tea Party protesters as some sort of Q.E.D. indictment of the protests.”
“the race card continues to be played by ignorant and close-minded liberals who believe they should dictate what the average American citizen should or should not do.”
Look past your liberal-slanted newscasts, my friend. I you delved into the true make-up of attendees, you would find more diversity than the liberal press divulges.
Yes, they're diverse all right. And so are the inmates at an insane asylum. But they have something in common. They're all nuts. In the case of the Tea Party, they also happen to be all white. That ain't no coincidence. You didn't find many Jewish Nazis, either. --Jim
I'm afraid you are mistaken. They are not all white, contrary to the limited scope of what you are reading.
Oh, I suppose the Tea Party has a token non-white. I suppose if one looked hard enough, one could even have found a token Jewish Nazi. There are crazy people in this world. --Jim
I'm sure the black participants would not consider themselves "tokens", and would resent your implication. That is a statement uncharacteristic of a supposed non-racist.
