On Congress recent summer break, many Black Congressman and woman went back to their home districts and held town hall meetings. These men and women made hateful, untrue and outrageous claims against the tea parties. Moreover, much like my childhood days these grown Congressional leaders began to spin imaginary yarns about fictional Neo White hood Klansman, The Tea Party. Read more... Creating Orwellian Worldview
