Sounds a bit racist, doesn't it?

I stumbled across some interesting polling. It shows that 65 percent of Hispanics and 77 percent of blacks support health care reform. Only 36 percent of whites support it. Is that significant? I think so. It tells me why the Tea Party, an opponent of health care reform, seems to have white members only. Look around at their protest rallies. You'll see only white faces. At a Tea Party rally last weekend in Washington, the demonstrators hurled racial slurs at black members of congress. One member was even spit upon. Not very nice. Makes one wonder if the Tea Party is a racist organization. --Jim Broede

Oh, for cryin out loud, Jim, your intelligence is showing, and it should embarrass you. The "Tea Party" is not racist, if racist people go amongst them, and use them for their own message. THAT is not the message of the Tea Party. It is illegal to speak racial slurs. Why are these people not arrested???

Why are the blacks and Hispanics, who oppose this bill, not standing up??? See how you skew the figures...
36% of whites is equal to approximately 81,185,098 people.

Even 77% of blacks, is only 28,544,532 people. See the problem with your statements??? I didn't think so. And, yet, they are the real facts, using your own figures.

I suspect, dear anonymous, that you wouldn't know a racist even if you saw one. Some whites are blind to racism. And many of 'em are racist without knowing it. That makes it difficult to correct the errors of their ways. --Jim
