I don’t know where to begin this morning. I had quite an experience yesterday attending the Atlanta Anti-Tax Day Tea Bag Party. Seeing a sea of angry white people has never left me with a good feeling.

Make no mistake there were right wing spotters and recruiters out there also seeing who that may be able to steer into their organizations. Historically extremist group activity grow in times of economic uncertainty with these groups trying to scape goat someone as being the source of the problem, the poor, minorities whomever. A lot of folks are looking for answers and end up sucked in by these groups in economic hard times.
My best advice for folks is to stay away from these groups and anything that they may be involved in or one could find themselves in a jail cell looking out or name on page 1 of the local paper one day.
I was about fifteen or so just about to enter an art exibit when I heard a commotion on the parking lot. As I approached a white man had a gun pointed at a black while he and others were yelling racial slurs at him. Seems the black man questioned why the white man had slammed his car door against his car scarring it.
In moments (white) police arrived and arrested the black with out asking questions nor addressing the issue and certainly made no comments about the white man waving a gun.
It didn't take many scenes like that to let me know my and other blacks' status was not what it should have been under the law. With that in mind I assure you I had no reason to attend any Tea Bag rallies especially since I noticed all the promotions FOX NEWS was doing for them.
It's just more proof of the devolution of the Republicans into the party of angry white people who are just too uninformed to know how much they're being manipulated by corporate interests.
I live in an area where there is still so much ignorance, and it appalls me regularly. We were starting up a daycare in Georgetown IN, and I was the assistant director. It was my job to take the handyman/custodian from the main site there to get some work done, and the head director asked me to stop at a local shop and pick up supplies. It was my first lesson in the BS some people are still living. I stopped, and he said he would wait in the car. I guess the people didn't see me get out, because the things I heard in the store completely outraged me, and when I said something, I was not treated very well. I ended up going out and having to stop some guy from trying to harrass this man. He remained calm and polite throughout. He was not the kind of man to normally take things sitting down. He thanked me for "sticking" my neck out, and I couldn't believe that this kind of hatred was able to be pulled off without anybody else speaking up. This was just 8 yrs ago.
MyHotComments Have a wonderful day my sweet friend.
Sir, contrast and compare why you do not like to be in a crowd of angry Black people with The Three Reason I hate To Be In A Crowd of Angry White People.
I would never disrespect our country by showing up at one of these useless tea things. I am an American. I don't always agree with our policy or whats happening at the moment, but I would do my best not to be disrespectful to our country or our government.
