The Tea Party is a reaction to taxes and the direction of this country. Race is not on their agenda. Racism or prejudice has been around for a long time and it involves all political parties. The democrats were heavily involved with the Ku Klux Klan. West Virginia democrat Senator Robert Byrd was an organizer for the Klan.
Do you remember the e-mails going around about Clarence Thomas? How about Condoleezza Rice? Does that make the democrats racist?
