First of all you have 0 proof that there were not person's of color in attendance. More importantly is how thick headed you sound. Demographically by the numbers person's of color support big government entitlement policies that politicians like Obama support; the teaparty platform policies are in complete opposition to them! So why would you expect to see a representation of person's of color in any brief camera pan of those in attendance??? So again, what should be the percentage in a crowd of that size??? 000.1% perhaps? Just asking since you raised the issue! What's wrong can't give an answer even after I provided the numbers? Can you do math?
Albuquerque has a relatively small demographic of black folks among all the other folks, but our Tea Parties here had an amazing representation of Hispanic and Asian folks and yes, some black folks showed up too. We didn't count them because we were not focused on race but were focused on principles we wanted emphasized. I doubt anybody else associated with these movements gives a flying fig what race anybody is either.
Only racists focus on race.
The polls show that a fairly large majority of black folks still do support Obama and those probably don't go to Tea Parties. But while the mainstream media does its damndest to make sure that black folks are included in media coverage of a protest against a conservative or conservative initiative, they are just as meticulous to show as few people of color as possible in their coverage of Tea Parties or Tax Protests. In the same way, they seek out a few signs that some would say are offensive and feature those as typical even though such signs are very few.
There were several of us concerned about the cost to attend the event which of course did prevent many attending who otherwise would have been there. The media has been doing its damndest to make it a "let the folks who didn't go fight witht the ones who did' issue too, but nobody is cooperating with that.
