Something peculiar occurred Monday evening inside the Rameses Temple on Beatties Ford Road: A Tea Party member was invited to address the brothers of the Beta Nu Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.What’s more, Corey Thompson also is a Republican and at-large candidate for the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners.
No, he did not go there stumping for votes. I suspect that Thompson, a history and journalism teacher at West Mecklenburg High School, is far too keen to be that naive.
Instead, he arrived with a singular theme: The tea party, he told the brothers, is not a racist movement, it wasn’t founded to oppose the nation’s first black president, and, he said, it’s certainly not based on hate.
So what’s a man politically aligned with Sarah Palin doing addressing the fraternity of King, Robeson, Marshall and Du Bois?

Can anyone say “bandwagon”?
Here’s a suggestion: If you don’t want to be labeled as a racist, and you don’t want to be associated with racists, don’t hang out with racists. Here are several examples of racism at Tea Bagger functions:

Wonder how much the Tea Party paid him to appear.
This bit ranks down there where Olberman – MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN rank…at the bottom of the barrel. If the piece was done to show the stupidity of the writer – it was right on the money! Keep thinking its about race(because that’s what they want you to think)it’s NOT about the color of Obama’s skin for crying out loud! It’s about the policies of the Progressives and they are in BOTH PARTIES!!!! Obama happened to put the CLOWARD & PIVAN stategy to work in more than one area and at break neck speed. It’s Saul Alinsky and the Rules for Radicals – Look them up read the REAL history – no what someone wants you to believe(Revisionist History). He’s spend more than all other presidents combined – including Bush! FACT! Have YOU looked at the debt clock???? http://www.usdebtclock.org/ It’s frightening, it’s our money, our kids money, grandkids money. It’s BOTH PARTIES – it’s about big and over reaching gov’t, its about continually raising taxes and spending too much of SOMEONE ELSE’S MONEY!!
Folks you better learn what’s going on around you…it’s coming faster than you know.
Bull shit it’s about policy. If you paid attention to the policies and what they really mean you’d stop complaining. If you want to point fingers and spendy politicians, point at the Republicans. And, stop with the fear mongering. You’re showing your ignorance.
What?
