"The dominant 'racial' factor in the tea party movement isn�t antiblack bigotry but whites� fear of their own diminishing political power. The oft-heard battle cry 'take back the government' could be translated as 'don�t disenfranchise us as we get older and become a minority in our own country.' If demography is destiny, the older whites who wave 'Don�t Tread on Me' flags at tea party rallies have good reason to be afraid that they are losing political power to the emerging Hispanic generation."

What irony! In the original tea party American colonists were objecting to not having representation in government. In contrast, modern day tea party activists are objecting to the growing representation that others have in government which threatens the political power that the white majority group has enjoyed.

Or they might be angry at high unemployment, a labour market saturated with people who should not actually be there, and a government eager to help bankers get away with financial fraud?

Originally the tea party was about healthcare and taxes. It had nothing to do with race. It was about small government. but it started drawing in anti Obama ites and many of them were acting out of racial predjudice. Now the Palin forces have seized the movement.

It is an American political movement what should it be concerned with?

I feel really concerned for non-white tea partiers. They must be having a really bizarre identity crisis.

Being called a traitor to your race for opposing taxes certainly can't be fun...

Worse comes to worst, you could always beat up black people at townhall meetings...

When the tea party isn't racist enough for you, video tape black people doing something that could be construed as racist if white people did it... then crop them out and claim it's a white person...

Throwing the race card at something over and over again isn't going to make it go away. People are attempting to avoid the real problem, on both sides, by inventing a distraction out of the race issue -- which is completely irrelevant to taxation and government expansionism.

Like every party, the Tea Party has:

(a) legitimate motivations and concerns

(b) credible points and suggestions

(c) its fill of ideologues and opportunists

(d) complaints and frustrations that are not easily satisfied, and sometimes impossible to please

Unlike the Republican or Democratic Parties, however, I cannot fathom why they chose the name they did.

Blue collar people and students need those lowly jobs. Not only do they need access to these survival jobs, it also supports a robust economy on the ground everywhere off of Wall Street. It's like Wall Street is doing awesome, but everywhere else is struggling. When I was younger, I depended on crappy low paying jobs to make ends meet. And I still need temporary part time work when transistioning back home or making a move as to not burn through my savings.

Concerned by taxes on tea are they not?
