Uh, because the other 10% could include a white woman? I gather you're not a mathematician.

US Cenus Bureau?

Dude that's just more made up garbage.

So, where's your picture of the "NO BLACKS ALLOWED" sign? I'm afraid you have no point.

When all else fails assholes like you play the race card.

The Tea Party movement has nothing to do with race or gender for that matter.

That's just plain stoopid talk.
I consider myself a tea party member and I don't want those things. What I do want is smaller government and less taxes. I would like to see people accept personal responsibility rather than having it imposed on them through more laws. I think charity (oops I said welfare, freudian slip)begins at home. I want the constitution to be followed and I believe in the golden rule. What is wrong with that?

If any of you fucktards voted for Obama last time to prove you aren't a racist please consider voting for someone different this time to prove you aren't an idiot.

I used a direct quote from this Wikipedia article, which references the U.S. Census report in a footnote:

You know, Dali, you're not impressing me with the intellectual acumen of the average tea fartier.

I do...you make good points and understand the system. Many others do too. Disagreeing over what works best is one thing. Bitching about the deficit and not wanting to cut the biggest outlay (Defense) is just plain ignorant. That is WTF is my bitch with the Tea Nuts.

I think it was YOU who argued the tea farty is diverse.

I didn't see any blacks or Mexicans at the one I went to. Well I saw a couple of Mexicans serving Taco's at the Taco stand.

I'm not saying there aren't blacks and Hispanics in the tea farty. I'm saying it's a lie that blacks and Hispanics make up any significant part of the tea farty, as the tea farty claims. The tea farty is simply not a big tent entity. It's an entity largely made up of one demographic -- older, conservative, white males.

I guess you can respond, "Hey, our door is open to minorities." The point is, nearly all minorities (and a vast majority of other Americans) don't hold to the tea farty's ideology (although we may have in the 1800s), so we don't wanna join your Cracker Club.

So, "diverse" is now a statistical term? What percentage of participants need to be of a particular race or races to meet your definition? Quotas seem inordinately important to many on the left, perhaps you as well?
