Here’s the dealio people. The left has decided long ago to paint main stream conservatives as racist, now with the rise of the Tea Party movement their accusations are becoming more and more insidious, going as far as to demean them by associating them with the Ku Klux Klan (the paramilitary terrorist arm of the Democratic party) and comparing them to opponents of civil rights. Which of course could not be further from the truth. Simultaneously erasing democrat racist history while ignoring the republican party’s history of fighting for civil rights. And as Michael C. Moynihan of Reason Magazine opines “…how quickly we forget that in the editorial rooms and bar rooms of the Bush era, the vapid phrase on the lips of my liberal-minded comrades, repeated like a Maharishi mantra, was that “dissent is patriotic.” Now dissent has become the first indication of incipient fascism and subterranean racism. If Rich sees in the current debate the seeds of pogrom, if Krugman sees the rhetoric of “eliminationism,” forget national heath care—we need a national history lesson.”

Why would democrats do such a thing? They are so afraid of losing blacks to the GOP side of the aisle and perhaps they would if they weren’t so systematically brainwashed. It is as if the do not trust minorities to make their own decisions, stealing their free will from them by making them fearful of an imaginary republican racist boogie man keeping them held captive in ideological shackles. As they continue to beat people down by keeping the racism bubble boiling to the surface. Rubbing salt into old wounds that for the most part healed long ago. Now you tell me who is the racist. Even worse black Democrats have a hand in it too. Has Obama the first black president of the United States who was touted as the US’s post-racial savior of racial relations, ever once spoke out against the false accusations? Hell no. Why should he, he led the charge during his campaign by playing the race card himself, and as a progressive in power it is in his best interest, regardless of his skin color. And black conservatives are race traitors? Never mind theÂ racist vitriol aimed at any black who dares to be a conservative. “Oreo, Uncle Tom, Boot-licking Uncle Tom, Straight-up Uncle Tom, Judas, Boy, Remus, Sambo, Sambo-Tom, Coconut, Wannabe white, etc” Yet republicans and conservatives are racist? My oh my, the left has gotten away with far to much for far to long!

This is not to say that there aren’t racists out there. There will always be neanderthals spewing ignorance. They should be dismissed at every turn, [true] racism has no place in civil society. But to paint the entire Tea Party movement as a bunch of racist whites which is diverse both along race lines and political lines, is an ignorant disgusting political tactic of desperate democrats who are concerned about losing their power. If democrats did not employ their race baiting political ploy perhaps more minorities would at least check into what the Tea Party movement is all about. Yet they are scared off by the smears of ‘stay away from the racist haters’. And Tea parties are falsely accused of being a “whites only” club, no blacks allowed. When you can’t defend your politics, smear, slander and insult your opponents. Juvenile at best.

Democrat party motto: Keeping people afraid, keeping them down, keeping their votes.

Shameless, absolutely shameless.

So the next time you hear from the left that the Tea Party consists of nothing but racist whitesÂ tell them to look in the mirror and learn to debate without dragging race into the forefront. Which in itself is a racist act. For it is the left who constantly focus on skin color, not the right and certainly not the overwhelming majority of Tea party activists whose focus is on the political atmosphere of the day.

FYI – Kevin Jackson blogs @ TheBlackSphere.

BTW – My extended family is a multiracial one, consisting of three different races. Asian, African American and White,Â so don’t even go there!

Many thanks to the National Black Republican Association for all of their research making my job much easier.
