April Said:

Honestly speaking, do YOU feel that African Americans would feel welcome at a tea party protest against Obama?

We Answered:

In my county white and blacks attend church together. Many blacks attended the town hall meeting a few weeks ago. To us it is not about race but wanting government to stop spending money we don't have (how is that racial?). It breaks my heart that race is brought up so much these days in politics.

Trying to throw a Mad Tea Party themed welcome back party?

We Answered:

I would have it at my house. You should be able to find decorations at a dollar store. I would use black, white and purple. buy funky big tea cups and mismatched saucers and get big funky hats for everyone. Let your imagination have fun with it.

Willie Said:

Who does the Tea Party really represent? All viewpoints welcome.?

We Answered:

From what I've read, they want smaller government and lower taxes. The problem that I have with them is that they offer no solution on how to resolve this economical mess that we are in. They also strike me as the group that were flag waving "patriots" when war was waged on Iraq and Afghanistan. They also seem to want to blame the poor for everything and look at the wealthy elite as blameless in this financial mess.

Dorothy Said:

Are blacks welcome in the Tea Party (or any other alternative to the Democrats)?

We Answered:

I just saw a breakdown of the people who attend Tea Parties. 56% were Republican, 24% were Independents, and 13% were Democrats. There are blacks, Hispanics, Asians who attend as well as whites. Many of the speakers are African Americans. For the most part, the people who attend the Tea Party will not single out minorities or minority problems. People there are interested in the country as a whole of which the minorities are a part of. It would benefit everyone if there was less debt and more prosperity. Black communities need jobs just like white ones.

Enrique Said:

Are gays in the Tea Party welcomed or is it like Don't Ask Don't tell if they want to join?

We Answered:

It's don't ask don't tell. Thats how conservatives like their gays.
