the Tea Party is openly angry, racist, and heavily armed. Their platform openly calls for their people to take arms against the government if they don't get their way. Their rallies are now full of nuts with very large assault rifles and other guns. They, and Fox news of course, call themselves "patriots."
A wise young man asked, "What if the Tea Party were black?"
Can you imagine if there were hoards of angry black people storming the public parks, calling for the overthrow of the government, forced removal of a president, and armed to the teeth?
"Fox and Friends" would shit a brick. Would Rush and Hannity and Palin all rush to their sides? Do you think park police and the National Guard would not be called in within seconds to quell such a racist, vocally angry armed mob?
I mean, only if they were black.
(I have to give voice to one of my biggest pet peeves here: It is NOT "What if the Tea Party was black?" It's were. WERE. Why is that so hard to grasp?)
