Thank you for FINALLY pointing that out. I do not like to use words like that, and I would feel so guilty for making that reference.
I've been to a few tea parties and never seen one signal racist sign. Never heard racial slurs either. For me, the Tea Party gatherings feel like one big block party where everyone knows everyone else. We didn't know anyone at the Tea Parties, but everyone was so kind and gracious as if we've known them for years.
If someone there was racist, I wouldn't even know it. Unless they did have a sign that basically said, "look at me, I'm an idiot and I like to use racial slurs." But then I would just think that person was a plant by SEIU or some other organization.
