TeaTerrorists: "too much has been made of the problems facing black people."
Tea Partiers Get Their News From Fox And Are More Likely To Justify Violence Against The Government

I heart Fox News shirt at Tea PartyLast night, the New York Times and CBS News released a poll finding that the “18 percent of Americans who identify themselves as Tea Party supporters tend to be Republican, white, male, married and older than 45.” The poll, which “oversampled” Tea Party supporters “for the purpose of analysis” and “then weighted” them “to their proper proportion in the poll,” found that Tea Partiers are more likely than the general public to think President Obama “favors blacks over whites“:

The overwhelming majority of supporters say Mr. Obama does not share the values most Americans live by and that he does not understand the problems of people like themselves. More than half say the policies of the administration favor the poor, and 25 percent think that the administration favors blacks over whites — compared with 11 percent of the general public.

They are more likely than the general public, and Republicans, to say that too much has been made of the problems facing black people.

1.  Favor my white skin! That's what I'm hearing anyway
"...administration favors blacks over whites"


They wouldn't think that if they didn't already think their white skin made them better.

2. The entire NYT poll is full of evidence that the white, male, GOP Tea baggers are truly racists.
They say the battle is ideological not about their financial worries. The full article is laden with clues.

6. "There is a welfare class that lives for having children and receiving payment from the government"
"“I do believe we are responsible for the widow and the orphan,” said Richard Gilbert, a 72 year old retired teacher. “But I think there is a welfare class that lives for having children and receiving payment from the government for having those children. They have no incentive to do any better because they have been conditioned into it.”

5. Considering the obstacles
that black people face, and the corresponding statistics show this, for the teaklanbaggers to cry victim shows their anti-intellectualism, willful ignorance, screaming racism, and unmitigated gall. :eyes:
