"Does Tea Party Have No Room For Racism?"
[
.....
Racism � the openly, transparent racism � was chased underground save for those
staunchly right-wing groups like the Ku Klux Klan, and neo-Nazi and militia
groups.
.....
Certainly Tea Party members have the right to express their views.
.....
They have the right to be racist about it, too.
.....
The job of the NAACP, and all of us really, is to ensure that racism does not
become the respectable, acceptable, expectable norm again.
