Biden says tea party not a racist movement

WASHINGTON – The tea party is not a racist group, says Vice President Joe Biden, though he believes that some of those involved in the movement have expressed racist views.

"Very conservative, very different views on government and a whole lot of things," Biden said during an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "But it is not a racist organization."

President Barack Obama doesn't think so, either, Biden said.

9. Here in Chicago there is an African American teapartier that has his own radio show
 It's on WVON, the black talk radio station in Chicago. He's the only republican they have who has his own program thus his show is called "the other side". He does have a following.

Of course, he's ignored.  Surprised it's still there, with the link and all.
