By the way...no one person represents the Tea Party movement.
I've honestly never heard of the guy.
Holy shit. This Mark Williams guy is an idiot.
This guy can't be bright.
My commentary: He's trying to mock NAACP for A: Being Racist. B: Calling the Tea Party Racist. I get that, I'm not a fan of tossing it out baselessly.
Well, he's not very bright. Within his letter, he assumes that it's "Coloreds" that use tax-payer money to have big screen TV's in every room. He infers they're not productive members of society. Claiming they don't compete for jobs like everyone else. Holy shit man.
I get what he was trying to do in writing this. I get it, he was mocking the notion that the tea party's Racist. In doing so he uh, revealed his beliefs of his own stereo-types of "Coloreds" and he doesn't seem to hold them in too high regard. What a moron.
Here is his "mock" letter to Abraham Lincoln:
Dear Mr. Lincoln
We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!
In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the 'tea party movement'.
The tea party position to "end the bailouts" for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn't that what we want all Coloreds to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us coloreds! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.
And the ridiculous idea of "reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government." What kind of massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!
The racist tea parties also demand that the government "stop the out of control spending." Again, they directly target Colored People. That means we Colored People would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.
Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government "stop raising our taxes." That is outrageous! How will we Colored People ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?
Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.

No matter what site you read it from it was a REALLY dumb thing to do.
Let's see you show the same indignation about someone wanting to kill Cracker Babies.

Google is your buddy.

He's in the NBBP. I don't support that organization. I find it, Racist.

But that organization supports the DNC, and Shabaz is a registered Democrat.
So he must speak for the whole movement, using your logic.
Right?

No.
President Obama is the leader of the Dem party or Tim Kaine if you want to get technical.
Michael Steele is the leader of the GOP.
That's the problem with leaderless movements ... any loon can say he's the leader.

That's my point. EVERY group has its own factions that tie themselves to the group, but have little or nothing in common. To single one out, and say they are exemplary of the group as a whole, is disingenuous at best, and irresponsibly misleading at worst.

You're holding up some guy most of us have never heard of as a spokesperson for the entire party, and we're the ones dreaming....
Got it! (for fuck's sake)

The only thing I hold up is my nuts.
I didn't hold up anything re: this guy.
I linked to a provacative letter from a person labeled as a Chairman. (fundraising, TV appearances, etc), and said it shines a bad light on the tea party in a week where they were labeled as Racists.
If you can't grasp that, that's alright I'm not going to hate on you. But don't sit here and argue points that aren't there, it's boring/a waste of time/not sexy.
