Oh boy.

From abcnews.com: First Lady Michelle Obama brought renewed energy to the NAACP today, delivering the keynote speech at the annual convention one day before the nation's largest civil rights group is expected to condemn what it calls racist elements in the Tea Party movement.

Both entities are racist in their actions. I find it ironic that the NAACP can promote the negro race with a fevorish passion, protest, march and in general, raise holy hell. However, let a group of Anglo Saxon stand up and promote their beliefs and they are attacked and labled racists. Hmmmmm double standard. I believe what MLK said whole heartedly.

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

That holds true to all races.

I don't see the Tea Party as being as racist as the NAACP.

This is really going to far.I for one was among a many of girls (white,from families w/money and w/o money) who had to put up with racial sh** in the 60's here in good ole Quincy Public High Schools.I never went out of my race dating (my choice and I had a BF),but was pointed out as a target.
To this day,I still do not hold anyone personally responsible except for our Political Leaders and ALL school personal who acted like it wasn't happening.
I'am still angry at them even though some are deceased now.
Please don't let anything escalate in this town,it will be very,very ugly on our Children and Grandchildren for generations to come.
Obama needs OUT now.
JMHO
We the people do not need this kind of crap starting again,believe me.

If so,please list "every" political person in our voting who is a member of it.
I will NOT be voting for them either.

I thought that the Prez and wifey were to end racial stereo types and all the world would be in harmony. Stirring up the NAACP against Tea Party folks who happen to point out the incompetence of the Obama administration is not post racial.

You can be a racist by being IN the Tea Party.

Does this mean you're a racist if you're AGAINST the Tea Party?
