Since its beginnings early last year, the TEA movement has been wrongfully labeled as a white supremacist movement made up of angry white racists. You can think the leftist mainstream media for these straw man labels.
The article linked above proves that even through a majority of the TEA party movement is white, there are other races that are not afraid to admit that they are conservatives that fully support the movement.
One thing that really angers me about this article is the sickening way that African-Americans are treated by their own people. I always hear blacks talking about the ways the white man is always getting them down. Really? Always getting you down, huh? That's funny, because according to the article, it's not whites that are the problem. Instead, it seems to be your own people that are attacking you. Being called derogatory terms like Oreo for daring to disagree with a man because he's the same color as you is so stupid that its laughable. When Bush was in office, I was never called racist by other whites for calling him an asshole. Then again, he was an asshole, so I guess there was no reason to question something that was justifiable. Still, people called what they thought he was, and never got called got called out for being a racist. Now that there's a black man in office, the issue of race has become the weapon of choice for people--especially those on the leftist side of the spectrum.
Personally, I've never been called a racist for disagreeing with Obama. However, I do know people who have. What's funny about this is that similar tactics were used when Bush was in office. If you disagreed with anything that he said, you were accused of being a terrorist sympathizer. Again, I was never no one ever said to my face, but I know that I was put in that camp. Now, things are different. Disagree with Obama? You must be a racist!!! Uh...what? I'm a racist because I don't agree with this war? I'm a racist because I don't agree with the Federal Reserve system destroying our currency via inflation? I'm a racist because I don't agree with the PATRIOT Act? I'm a racist because I don't agree with a health care bill that forces people to by something that they have a right to refuse? Many of those things were items that Obama promised to get rid of when he got into office. So far, he's continued to act like the last bozo that was in the White House. What's shocking is that people on the left side of the spectrum refuse to acknowledge any of it. Instead, they're too busy playing a card that has had its power drained.
By now, most of you are familiar with the lefts attempt to label the TEA Party movement as racist by accusing a TEA Party member of shouting the n world at an African-American member of Congress. What's funny is that those accusations are completely false. A recent video taken by someone at the TEA Party shows that the man in question was shouting "Kill the bill!" with fellow members. The n word is not mentioned once. Here's the video in question:

The left has also accused the movement of cutting the gas lines attached to the houses of Democratic members of Congress. The problem, however, is that no one has come forth with any solid evidence proving it was people like me who did it. They simply accuse the TEA party because of the deep hatred that they have for the movement. I find this funny considering the factor of "hate" is what motivates the left to attack people like me on a daily basis.
The issue of violence must also be dealt with. The TEA party movement has never done anything violent at their movements. People get energized, but not to the point where riots break out.
The left, on the other hand, is guilty of such acts. Consider the following story:

You may have heard about the story above on many news stations. To sum it up: an African-American man supporting his Constitutional and God-given right to stand against Obama was violently beaten for handing out flags that had the famous "Don't Tread on Me" words printed on them. According to the article, another black man walked up to him and shouted: "What kind of a ni**er are you?!" According to the article, Gladney--the man who was beaten up--kindly asked the man who yelled the racial slur at him if he would like a flag. Tell me: is this not racism? Is beating a man for advocating his rights not a sign of discrimination?
I want to conclude my rant with this: the issue of race is a factor that has gotten completely out of hand in this country. While I do recognize the fact that there are racists in the TEA party movement, I find it stupid and pathetic to label everyone who supports the movement as such.
We as a people need to remember that when Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, he clearly stated that all men are created equal. In other words, all men are subject to the same God-given to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. None of these things are judged on factors like race. If America fails to understand this fact, we are doomed to continue this stupid race argument for decades to come.
