Nigel Coleman, who is black, leads the Danville TEA Party Patriots in southern Virginia. He said the fact that the movement is predominantly white doesn’t mean it is inherently racist.
“I went to a wine festival yesterday,” he said. “Weren’t too many black people there, either. Nobody called them racists.”
Meanwhile, a New York Times feature on black Republican congressional candidates highlights a couple of familiar names. I first interviewed Allen West in June 2008, and interviewed Vernon Parker when I went to Arizona last month.
Professor William Jacobson says, “The core of Democratic Party political strategy is falling apart.” Well, possibly. As I’ve said, Allen West Must Win, and promising candidates like Parker — and Les Phillip and Angela McGlowan and Star Parker — must prevail in competitive GOP primaries.

I didn’t even want to read the WAPO article Mr.Coleman was quoted in because I’m an so tired of the relentless “TP fights against racism charges” lines. Raaaaacism-the ever popular and ever useful smear.

I had forgotten I said that until I saw the article!

You can hardly blame black people for not showing up at wine festivals these days. The festivals have become rather chintzy, giving smaller and smaller samples for more and more money.
That these festivals persist is pretty good evidence that white people have too much money, though.

“Racist” , like “motherf#cker” and “@sshole”, has lost its original meaning and now signifies “person whose politics I oppose”.
It may not be long until it is so overused that, like “gay” to twelve year olds, it loses even its original genre and becomes simply a term of disapproval.
“That meal at the new restaurant was really gay. The wine was corked, the apples were overcooked, and even the bread was stale. And the steak was just racist!”
