It amazes me everytime I see comments like this......
"Shockingly, a purportedly conservative website, Culture11, is disseminating yet another Tea Party smear — that the movement is racist":
When Are White People Going To Stop Waiting For A Handout?
By Kris Broughton
They revolt. Secede. Take other people’s property and rename it as their own. Shoot a few folks if they get in the way. Which is how you get British colonies that become the United States of America.
Or, in its most recent incarnation, “We Surround Them”, or these infamous “Tea Parties” that are supposed to be taking place all over the country, a small but determined fragment of America’s white population, along with their favorite token minority self hate monger, Michelle Malkin, have decided that they are tired of their values and their way of life being rejected by the government, and the rest of the public that doesn’t agree with them. They are ready to “take back the country.”
When, oh when are these white people going to stop waiting for somebody to give them something?
Oh well. I guess I’ll be turning on the TV in a few minutes to see yet another privileged group of white men, who insist they they and they alone are entitled to hold the opinions that count on the economy, the government, and the president.
It’s only a matter of time before this bunch starts whining about losing its lack of influence.
Racism. This keeps being brought up by one side, over and over. The same side that will accuse you of racism at the drop of a hat.
This my friends, the epitome of the Double Standard in America.
Take if you will, this issue that was brought up by a member at the 9-12 project, and was discussed for a bit. A fascinating comment that was the absolute same for so many across the country. The comment was that the member noticed that during the election, if you said you weren't voting for Obama, you'd immediately get, "Why because he's black?' and you were depicted as a racist. How many of you got this same reaction or at least felt the same way, that you'd be seen as such, should you state you were not voting for him?
She hit on a very important point........if you did not vote for Obama, you were labeled racist. But here's what I found interesting, as with everything, normally those who accuse someone of something are normally guilty of that very same offense, themselves.

Interestingly enough, if you look at the exit polls, 95% of black voters voted for Obama. 95%. That my friends, is racism. They voted for Obama because of the color of his skin. Period.
Those votes were based on race. Not on policies or principles. While you voted based on policies and principles, they did not. But you, of course, were accused of racism. Oh, but not the other way around. No way.
I went the other way - I would ask Obama supporters, WHY, are you voting for him? I had no problems w/those who voted for Obama. If they were making educated votes. The ones I had a problem with were the ones voting for him, with no real reason why. i.e. uneducated blind votes. That, unfortunately, was pretty much all of them. Other than either because of his skin color, or simply because of Bush Hate.
I generally got the same responses. Because Bush has to go! Because we need change! etc etc. When I would ask about policies and experience and actual real items one would consider when contemplating whom they'd vote for.......a general blank stare, or hollywood rah-rah empty response would be all I'd get.
So......cliff notes version, this member was not alone in the responses she would get. 2008 was an American Idol election, full of double standard. 95% of black voters voted for the black candidate based on the color of his skin. And white Obama voters voted for him based on Bush Hate, and acted as pure lemmings, just going with the popular flow. Don't think for yourself, vote for Obama 'cause everybody's doin' it. Plain and simple. Don't be a racist.
