What racists? The woman who, in the words of the farmer's wife, worked tirelessly and "kept us out of bankruptcy"? That racist?
Nope. She's not the issue, although the simple response is to focus entirely on her. The issue here is not her, but the NAACP and their reaction and support for what she was saying. This was in response to the NAACP making claims that the Tea Party was full of racists and needed to repudiate the racists in their midsts. The absurdity of an organization called the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People", which has a charter and agenda specifically aimed at racially focused activities would have the gall to accuse the Tea Party, an organization entirely focused at big government and taxes and having nothing at all to do with race, a bunch of racists is overwhelming.
That's what this is supposed to be about. Making this about the woman in question is a way of minimizing the larger issue. We're looking at upside-down labels of racism and no one seems to bat an eye. Somewhere along the line we have accepted in our mainstream thoughts that it's ok for a group of black people to form together with the sole purpose of helping black people, but if a group of people with no color orientation at all forms, with an agenda having nothing to do with race at all, but happening to oppose a political party which the first group associates itself with, that group can label the other "racist". When did this happen? What the hell does the word "racist" mean? I'm pretty sure most of us don't agree with a definition that reads "When you do something a group of black people don't like", but that appears to be the working definition the NAACP is using.
It's the NAACP. Until they change their name, charter, agenda, and membership, they have no freaking case for calling anyone else racist. One should not even have to dig up footage of racist language being used at their events to understand this.
