The blackwoman wasn't going to write a diary today. It's been a long, exhausting week. My body hurts. My soul aches.
Sometimes though, folk go a bridge too far. The so called TeaParty folk have done so.
Mark Williams, the public face of the Tea Party Express, attacked the NAACP as a "racist" organization, and said "they make more money off of race than any slave trader, ever." He went on to write a blog post implying that Black people don't like to work or think for themselves, that we depend on welfare, and that we want to benefit from White people's tax dollars so we can have a widescreen TV in every room.
It has taken months for some folk to finally grasp the idea that these people are racist. Nevermind that the issue of raising taxes was moot from the beginning. The Obama Administration actually lowered taxes for about 95 per cent of the folk in this country. Including Teabaggers.
The use of Hitler's image is a blatant racial reference.It is past time that we get this. He was after all the one who used what he considered to be race as a reason to kill about four million Jews and other non Aryans. Black folk saw these folk for who they were from the jump. I keep wondering why it takes so long for the progressive community to see through the vile actions of racist and stop with the benefit of the doubt crap that first greeted these mouth breathing excuses for humanity.
Now we have one of their leaders proclaiming the NAACP as a racist group. Pretty pitiful. Except we have the usual chorus from the usual suspects chirping their agreement.
I am writing a diary for one reason only today. To ask those who read it to go here
Now, run and tell that.
