The only thing that irks them more than "diversifying" by letting minorities participate is feeling like they got to get some Tea Party cred when all they really want is for them to go away. As much as they dont like the Tea Party extremes, your biggest problem got nothing to do with you being black. You just too far off the edge to do them any good.Lennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-78255786623842102922010-11-12T15:52:12.924-08:002010-11-12T15:52:12.924-08:00I think (hope?) you're wrong but, the potentia...I think (hope?) you're wrong but, the potential for stupid forms of marginalization are real, and we'll just have to wait and see. <br /><br />I've been to Tea Party gatherings and, while they always want to push me in front of the TV cameras (to "prove" they're not racist, which I consider, at least, a "racial" act) they've never made me feel uncomfortable, except in their disappointment that I refuse to be used as a prop. <br /><br />The Right is now claiming they want diversity - but, especially, diversity of thought - so, with my participation, that idea is definitely going to be tested for validity. Are they up to the challenge? I don't know: <br /><br />Let's give 'em a little time and see.<br /><br />And thanks for writing!The Crack Emceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366101526773588864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-36918318031117996492010-11-12T15:16:53.711-08:002010-11-12T15:16:53.711-08:00Historically the Republican Party was not designed...Historically the Republican Party was not designed to welcome blacks into their organization. It was made up of mostly white, wealthy males. And represented that group well, effectively and with power. Only recently is the GOP even trying to include blacks, mostly because so many whites voted for Obama and the GOP has lost ground in dollars and elected officials. We must remember, the GOP is slow to change and doesn't historically encourage diversity. Any news video of the Tea Party or Republican rallies will show how little diversity has gotten a foothold in the GOP. I believe the Republican Party will continue to struggle with this dilemma, inclusion of blacks is not in the GOP's near future.Ronnoreply@blogger.com
