Racism, Tea and The NAACP


Serving Mark Williams a piping hot cup of STFU.

We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.

These are the words of President Obama on the day he began his Post Racial Presidency™.

Since then we have seen an onslaught of racial demagoguery from the left and their minions in the MSM. It has become so commonplace that many joke about the absurdity of it all. But that doesn’t stop the left from continuing their racial politics of projection and fear.

The most recent racial provocateur has been the NAACP, which officially declared the Tea Party as racist. This declaration should have been an easy one to knock down and mock. I mean, there are quite a few Tea Party candidates who are distinctly not white. This declaration was nothing more than bait on a hook and we are wise to their games. Right?

Alas, a sucker is born every minute. This time the suckers name was Mark Williams(I would link to the offending article except it has been taken down).

Mr. Williams, who’s about page describes him thusly: “radio host, TV commentator and author is a founding Tea Party Patriot and spokesman for the Tea Party Express”, took it upon himself to write a satirical response to the NAACP’s charges of racism. The article took form as a letter to President Lincoln from the NAACP requesting the reversal of the Emancipation proclamation.

Yes, you read that right.

The result of this article was for the National Tea Party Federation to boot Mr. Williams out of the NTPF. Additionally the NTPF booted the Tea Party Express for not rebuking Mr. Williams.

Mark Williams is a complete moron for writing that piece when and how he wrote it. It surpasses the level of stupid often relegated to Ron Paul. He gave the NAACP exactly what they wanted. He allowed himself to become distracted and lashed out in emotional response.

Had Mr. Williams showed a bit of patience, he could have been writing today about real racism in the NAACP courtesy of Andrew Breitbart (h/t Ed Morrissey). Instead he blew his wad on a piece that could best be classified as a Minstrel Show.

In doing so he becomes the story and affirms the KnownFact™ that the Tea Party* is racist. I mean, just look at Mark Williams – founder of Tea Party Patriot and spokesman for Tea Party Express.

Although this unfortunate and avoidable incident will no doubt affect the Tea Party’s various national groups, I won’t weep for Mr. Williams loss anymore than I weep for a Martyr of Allah. You strap a bomb to your chest, you deal with the consequences.

Aaron B. Gardner

* The Tea Partiers won’t really be affected by this as many of them took Erick’s advice on Tea Party 2.0.

I think tea party 2.0 requires we stop calling ourselves tea party activists. We are citizens, taxpayers, voters, and Americans. Saying we are part of some designated group makes it too easy for malicious souls to dismiss us. We are Americans dammit!

Those who will be affected are those who are trying to organize the Tea Party movement as a top down national coalition.

And frankly, I am ok with that.

It would do these national coalitions well to remember that the impetus for the Tea Party movement was, in part, disenfranchisement driven by a top down model at the GOP.

What of TPX Support for Candidates?

chihank Monday, July 19th at 5:47PM EST (link)

TPX endorsed Walt Minnick, a Dem Congressman from ID just to show the world how bi-partisan it is. Now Walt Minnick doesn’t want TPX aid anymore.

Expect Jane Norton to attack Ken Buck for having TPX support.

Also NV Dems are immediately attacking Sharron Angle for being the TPX candidate.

TPX did a lot of good work in the primaries. They gave the needed boosts to Angle, Buck, and Joe Miller.

I think TPX endorsed candidated should just offer no comment on the Tea Party feud.

 

Which just goes to show there are NO LEADERs of the TEA Party....

it is quite simply just a group of Americans who for the majority have NEVER participated in a protest and felt it was time to stand up for AMERICA! These tools who co-opt them for their own wealth and or power are nothing more then the same POS President and his Congresspeople are and that is an affront to everything that America stand FOR!

 

the Tea Party is not a party

Doc Holliday (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 6:07PM EST (link)

and it should not be a party. I know I did not elect any of these so called leaders. I have not read the satirical letter so I have no comment on that. But I don’t agree with the “tea party guy” on Deface the Nation either. The left wants us to play whack a mole.

We should not let the left distract us as we conservatives always do. The tea party movement was supposed to be about conservatives fighting a government leviathan and attempting to get our government back to Constitutional principles as the Founders intended. If this is no longer the case, then what is the point?

Molon Labe!

The Tea Party is not a party, nor should it ever be. It seems to me that the Tea Party Nation is trying to take a leadership position, and to make themselves the face of the Tea Party movement. It always seems that when there is a lack of leadership for anything, someone will always try to fill that vacuum, and it usually winds up that those wanting to have the loudest voices, don’t always have the best interests of the citizens in mind. The Tea Party Express has never tried to take any leadership position with the movement as far as I know. They are a bunch of concerned citizens that want to keep the people aware and active. I could be wrong about that. Maybe it is a turf War, I don’t know.

Heck Bachman, Palin and plenty of other big voices have not tried to co-opt the movement, these little opportunists at the Tea Party Nation are useless as teats on a bull. They have proven that they are spineless against the NAACP, and the false accusations of racism. The local Tea Parties are alive and well without their interference, and I so hope it stays that way.

Scope, I am just glad Obama is post racial

I agree the Tea Party will have to have some kind of organization for events, voter turn out, etc, but that is about it. I think the Tea Party “leaders” and their so called organizations, are being set up.

this pres. has sent back racial relations at least 50 years, purposely. The Won has sent back American relations with probably most countries so far, I don’t know how long it will take for those people to ever trust us anytime soon. I’m old enough to think I may not live to see things be put back to right/correct. The world uniter-hahahahaha. I don’t think he has any support of any leader of any country, even Hugo Chavez. For those in other countries, they laugh at him. For us here, who are under his rule, we are scared to death of what is coming next.

I agree that the local Tea Party people need to mobilize to get out the vote, much like the O mobilized his forces in Chacago to get out the vote all those years ago. That should be the main goal, because, the RNC doesn’t have enough money to help with that important goal. Oh, I forgot, it is supposed to be a non-partisan thing.

Once again RedState brings out its 50 caliber weapons to participate in a circular firing squad. We need to stay concentrated on the real enemy – the Democrat party and the leaders of that party, not the occasional foolishness of our own people. The real story here is still the racism and the irrelevancy of the NAACP, not the over eager zealousness of Mark Williams.

It is very important that we “hold our own people’s feet to the fire.” That includes the quasi organization that started a fight where none should have existed. The idiots fed into the left’s attacks. The Tea Party Nation is noting more than an attempt to take hold of a very popular movement that doesn’t need any leaders. It was the Tea Party Nation, who doesn’t speak for any of us, that folded like a cheap tent in the face of yet more ineffective, untrue and more than inciteful accusations from the NAACP. It was the Tea Party Nation that started the circular firing squad, and, I actually question their true motives. Whose side are they really on? That must be answered.

Scope, one point to consider...

Aaron Gardner (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 8:48PM EST (link)

The NTPF, Mark Williams, and the Tea Party Express are all wrong, for differing reasons, in my opinion.

First the NTPF. They are wrong for trying to run a top down model.

Second, Mark Williams. You don’t combat charges of racism by writing a racist diatribe and call it sarcasm

Third, Tea Party Express. Loyalty is all well an good, but you don’t defend racism because that racism was directed at other racists.

The only good Tea Party is your local Tea Party, and even some of them aren’t worth much.

I had posted elsewhere that I wasn’t sure that this isn’t a turf War. I couldn’t agree more that no one should be trying to corral the Tea Party movement. It needs to stay local, unorganized, and they need to remain what they started out to be, Taxed Enough Already. They attracted participants that were from every party, joined in a cause against the bloated government. When you try to control their message, you take away the original message of who they were/are. It has been widely considered to be a “Republican” movement, but, the original message was against Big Government from all sorts. We have been winning many over to our side, and we really don’t need to ruin that message.

The Tea Party movement is coming into contact with the instincts of the average Politician....

acat (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 10:10PM EST (link)

Specifically, politicians cannot help themselves when they see a leaderless group moving in a similar direction – they have to run to the front and pretend to be “leading”…

The myth of leaderlessness

jisaacconnett Tuesday, July 20th at 12:42AM EST (link)

A basic understanding of organization and administration seems to be missing in this thread. I keep seeing references to the Tea Party as a “group”. To my knowledge, there is no such thing as “The Tea Party”, so there is no such group. I do know of several Tea Party groups concentrated in numerous locations and apparently, most of those groups do have local leaders and organizers.

A group, by definition, must have such things as a purpose, goals, and actions. If it does not, it will cease to be a group in any practical way. Suppose I and a few other people happen to be walking along the beach and we spot a swimmer floundering in the water, apparently about to drown. We might all go to the swimmer’s aid, rescue him from danger and help him back to the safety of the beach. During the rescue, we would be a “group”, with the purpose of providing rescue to a drowning swimmer. When the rescue was completed, we probably would all go our own ways, and the group would cease to exist because we would no longer have a reason for being. Now, we could all decide that we do not want to disband, but then we would then have to define another purpose for being. We could decide to meet once a month down at the local Surf and Turf, have a few drinks, tell some lies, and brag about what swell fellows we are. That would give us a reason for being.

In the case of the Tea Party, which Scope says should stay unorganized; The idea that the Tea Party will remain a significant force and unorganized is a myth. It will not happen. Leadership will emerge and organization will emerge, or the Tea Party will not have a national identity. Local Tea Parties already do have leadership and organization and if they cease to have such organization, they will cease to be.

As the movement continues, there will be efforts made to find leadership and to develop organization. Take note of the current movement to provide a Tea Party Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives. Also take note that Rand Paul is talking about forming a similar group in the U.S. Senate if he is elected. As these attempts are made to coalesce around leadership, goals, and political action, some might be successful and then again some might fail. In this process, some gaffs will be made when people speak their minds. Of course, here at RedState we will be ever ready excoriate anyone who is less than perfect in his/her utterances.

Take for instance, the events when some unnamed associate of MIttens criticized Sarah Palin. As we saw, Sarah’s folks promptly told Mittens’s folks where they could put it. It reminded me of a parent telling a child, “if you touch that stove burner, you will get painfully burned” It was an interesting exchange of verbiage, but it was also an exercise in futile distraction from the goal before us, and that is to defeat the Democrats in November. Mittens and Sarah can fight it out after we secure the win in November, but right now we have a goal, one of many needed to achieve our purpose of securing freedom in this great land.

If we are going to bring out the guns for a circular firing squad every time some leader wannabe makes a silly gaffe, then we are going to spend a lot of time chasing rabbits who run very swiftly. I, for one, as a seasoned rabbit hunter, do not intend to spend my time in such futile activity. I intend to stay focused, like a laser, on the enemy. We will never be able to favorably impress the main stream media with our zeal to discipline our own. They are and will remain our enemy. They will never like us! They will never give us a favorable press! I do not intend to appease them. I intend to defeat them and the Democrat Party.

You make my point - perhaps unintentionally.

acat (Diary) Tuesday, July 20th at 1:00AM EST (link)

For Congressmen – politicians, every one and don’t for a second think otherwise – to try to have “tea party” caucuses is exactly the instinctual “running to the front of the parade” behaviour I was pointing out.

That’s not leadership, that’s rank opportunism – one step up from humming “Battle Hymn of the Republic when ferrying Yankees or humming “Dixie” when ferrying Rebels. *

As for forming circular firing squads, I believe you’re paying too much attention to the narrative the Liberal house organ once known as the mainstream media want you to listen to, instead of researching and *thinking for ourselves*.

Please, let’s not make the same mistake politicians seem genetically predisposed toward, let’s not try to put a bridle and saddle on something that’s obviously not a horse.

Go to a Tea Party. Talk to different people about issues *other than government and taxes* and see if you can identify the kind of unifying factors that a political party would need. You’ll find people who are for gay rights, and against. You’ll find people who are for term limits, and against. You’ll find people who are for getting out of Afghanistan, and against.

The only things that link the Tea Parties are a belief that government has gotten too big, too expensive, too unresponsive – and – of course – tea.

No, this will – and should- remain leaderless.

A slight correction, the NAACP did not say that the Tea Party is racist

ZootSuit (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 6:34PM EST (link)

They said that the Tea Party does not address the apparently racist elements within or affiliated with it. Perhaps a difference without a distinction but a difference nonetheless.

Regardless, recent events have proven that the NAACP is wrong even here because, as is the topic of this diary, the Tea Party did address the apparent racism — or at least, the “racial ignorance” — of Mark Williams. If only the NAACP would follow the same track of integrity as the Tea Party.

What I find most interesting, however, is that Mark Williams has stated that he was in dialog with NAACP when he found out that he was expelled from the National Tea Party Federation: saying that he heard about it as he was at a flight stopover from appearing on the “Geraldo Show” (or whatever it’s called) along with members of the NAACP when he first heard about it. To hear Mark Williams tell it, that meeting was quite positive and they did find mutual point of interest between the NAACP and the Tea Party. Although I personally have very long-standing and deep disagreements with the NAACP, I confess that I am sincerely curious about what, if anything, will happen with that.

***** Unrepentant African-American nationalist, Unapologetic African-American conservative!

The NAACP very well did say it

ranthony (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 10:36PM EST (link)

during the webcast of their vote, when they said the Tea Party is possessed of a drive to “push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.”

That being said, Webb’s words did address their (misplaced though it was) concern promptly. Far better for those to have been spoken than for the MSM to seize on the “Tea Party = racist” scribble any more than they already are and make months of coverage out of this one guy, giving his piece a whole new aspect that it was never intended to have.

For anyone who watched Beck tonight

Scope (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 7:17PM EST (link)

he brielfy talked about some city that has alerted it’s police to watch those that have bumper stickers on their vehicles supporting organizations such as Ron Paul’s Campaign4Liberty. I support free speech, and anyone supporting whatever organization they chose to affiliate with.

My problem with the Campaign4Liberty has been in statements on their own site saying that they were planning to “take over” the Republican party, and to recreate it in their image. They choose candidates to support, I’ve posted the link to their supported candidates. They only support those that pass their vetting. One of the requirements is that they must support their anti-war policies. Remember Ron Paul said, we can protect our country with a few good submarines? We all know that Ron Paul supports some far out policies. Paul seems to be anti-semite, and I personally have seen some posts from C4L members screaming about those evil Joooos, and talk about the money being sent to Israel. They don’t make such a big fuss at the money we send to so many other countries, Israel is singled out.

What I am wondering is if the left may be including these kooks as being representative of the Tea Party supporters. Some of them really can be seen as far right radicals to some degree at least. Have the C4L enablers co-opted the Tea Part movement? They certainly have tried.

NOT entirely for many of us

the economy, and its attempted destruction by this current administration, is indeed a concern

it is but one of many

teaching my children (and those that think like children) to hate America and attempt to rewrite her History is another present concern

callously misusing the men and women who *volunteered* to put themselves in harm’s way, is another

allowing foreign nationals unfettered access to our land and jobs is one more

the near-complete lack of anything resembling Justice at the top levels of our government

the Executive Branch deciding to appoint “Czars” at will, circumventing Checks & Balances completely is another

and the list goes on

yes, the economy, and the train wreck of a course that the President has put it on, is a grave concern … but not the only

Many White Nationalist organizations, and their membership, identify themselves with the tea parties. They are upset that the dems are led by a black president, that the dems want to give amnesty to illegal Hispanics, and that Obama has nominated a Jewish woman to the supreme court. With that being the case, several whit nationalist members show up at tea parties. I have seen this personally. Then, of course, the media concentrates on them and not the other 99% of the people there. Like I said, handle this at the ground level. If you see these racist organizations show up at a rally, make sure they know they are not welcome. Let the MSM get video of you screaming at these idiots to leave.

btw, Aaron, I finally found Mark William's piece

Doc Holliday (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 9:33PM EST (link)

It is actually a pretty stunning piece of satire. My interpretation was that he was making fun of the term “Colored”, in the name of the NAACP, but his real point was that the left sees minorities as oppressed groups that need to be cared for, by liberal geniuses, not as individuals.

This post was very heavy handed and not at all racially sensitive. In fact, the guy could have dropped all the “masa” and “coloreds” talk and he could have written a decent critique of old left organizations such as the NAACP as well as the modern progressive victim movement.

I in know way am defending this guy, but I do argue that we should have never been put in the position to defend him or kick him out. Centralization inevitably results in scandals for the group that decides to centralize. I say we individuals need to focus on regaining freedom for all Americans.

ranthony (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 9:34PM EST (link)

. . . to tell the truth. I’d never heard a thing about Webb prior to Sunday, and if I had it was in passing. Whether or not – and I say strongly “not” – the NTPF has the right to commandeer a grassroots movement is not the issue here.

The issue is Williams and his horrible statement. I don’t personally think he’s truly a racist, just that he had a moment akin in satirical experience to Michael Richards. That being said, perception goes a long way – if it didn’t, who knows what would have been done with Arizona’s endless tide of anchor babies?

If Williams screwed up, or in any other way necessitates his feet being held to the fire, he should be made known of that. Period and full stop.

You don’t combat idiocy by being an idiot yourself.

I agree with this

Doc Holliday (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 9:43PM EST (link)

and the last thing the Tea Party needs is a self promoting talk radio guy as a so called leader. But I wonder, you compare what Williams wrote to Michael Richards; have you actually read the Williams piece in its entirety? I was looking for it only so I could speak intelligently about it and it took a while to find the entire piece. Most of what is out there are just “lowlights” of racist terms.

Molon Labe!

I'm not comparing them in terms of vileness

ranthony (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 10:11PM EST (link)

Far from it: maybe you misunderstood that previous statement.

I’m just saying that they both tried to get a laugh, and they both failed – with extreme repercussions. Richards, prior to his stint at the Laugh Factory, had no experience doing stand up comedy. Williams, from what I hear, has no experience doing satire.

I admit right now that I haven’t read Williams’ whole piece, but in this small way the two are similar.

no worries ranthony, I was just wondering

Doc Holliday (Diary) Monday, July 19th at 10:37PM EST (link)

I wonder how many have read the entire thing. It was satire, it was racially insensitive, offensive to everyone, and extremely poorly timed, but he was trying to make a political point, it was not just a racist rant.

with the facts. Racists, especially those associated with LULAC or the NAACP try to argue facts based on religion, because they think they are doing Christian work. Give them blatant facts and they flounder.

Regarding the haves vs. the have nots – or why I am against extending benefits to anyone, but especially to Obamabots who find it easier to be on the dole than work:

New American Standard Bible 2 Thessalonians 3:10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

Ecclesiastes 2:24 (New American Standard Bible)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
24There is (A)nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and tell himself that his labor is good This also I have seen that it is (B)from the hand of God.

Regarding the teachings of black theology and the promotion of reparations, or why I think the whole load of BS is not biblical and only an idiot would consider it to be:

Deuteronomy 24:16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
English Standard Version (ESV)
16(A) “Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.

Regarding the distribution of wealth, Robin Hood, or any other distributive plan:
Matthew 22:21 ESV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They said, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

I haven’t got a problem paying taxes, but when those who are supposed to be stewards of our wealth are corrupt I prefer:

Ezekiel 22:12
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12 In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take interest and profit [1] and make gain of your neighbors by extortion; but me you have forgotten, declares the Lord God.

Leviticus 25:36
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[1] 22:12 That is, profit that comes from charging interest to the poor

John 2:14-15 ESV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

From Malkin’s site today regarding the history of the Klan.

How did the Ku Klux Klan re-emerge in the 20th century? For that, the Democratic Party is to blame.

It was a racist Democrat President, Woodrow Wilson, who premiered Birth of a Nation in the White House. That racist movie was based on a racist book written by one of Wilson’s racist friends from college. In 1915, the movie spawned the modern-day Klan, with its burning crosses and white sheets.

Inspired by the movie, some Georgia Democrats revived the Klan. Soon, the Ku Klux Klan again became a powerful force within the Democratic Party. The KKK so dominated the 1924 Democratic Convention that Republicans, speaking truth to power, called it the Klanbake. In the 1930s, a Democrat President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, appointed a Klansman, Senator Hugo Black (D-AL), to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the 1950s, the Klansmen against whom the civil rights movement struggled were Democrats. The notorious police commissioner Bull Connor, who attacked African-Americans with dogs and clubs and fire hoses, was both a Klansman and the Democratic Party’s National Committeeman for Alabama. Starting in the 1980s, the Democratic Party elevated a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), to third-in-line for the presidency.

But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever. John Adams

 

Anti-Racism as Idolatry

Hey Red State grow some balls. The whole problem is showing fear and subjugation to the racism charge for whites to sit down and shut up.

The racial chauvenism of minorities has become so bad these days Mr. Williams response, while not ideal, shouldn’t be condemned. If you don’t like it, ignore it. Only God is the judge of people, not the left or right’s antiracism sentiments. Everyone is a freakin racist to some extent. Let’s be honest with each other.

WHO GIVES A CRAP. You give racism the power of the golden calf.

Its simply not that important anymore.

Michelle Malkin had it right: NAACP = National Association for the Advancement of CODDLED People

Sorry, but I can't fix stupid ...

As soon as these national “umbrella” organizations started to compete for primacy, they set themselves up to eventually become a issue. The people who attended Tea Party meetings weren’t showing loyalty to Williams, TPX, or NTPF. They were showing their loyalty and concern for their country, not any particular speaker or self-styled “leader” . . .

I absolutely agree the movement must abandon the label now, if only to deep-six those who would co-opt it, even with the best of intentions.
