does anyone have any photographic evidence of a teabagger that is NOT white?

[Lerkfish]

I have yet to see a person of color in their midst, but I also don't claim to have seen every photo.

so, as an educational excercise, lets see if ANY DUers have ANY nonwhite participation evidence for the teabaggers.

My guess is that there are none.

14. Wasn't the Black guy a Journalist or something undercover?

Or was he a hired actor? If I remember right this photo is from the campaign in an Arizonia Stop for Pres. then Candidate Obama. I was thinking the black guy was a ruse or something to interview or photo the teabaggers.

[xultar]

16. He was the first. My total now is four. There was also the one blogger who called for Obama's

assisination. Since I haven't seen his ignoant ass I won't count it. I haven't seen any women yet.

[DrDan]

3. probably not a teabagger . . . but certainly can be considered a non-white repub

[Epiphany4z]

6. lol

you beat me to it...

[Cirque du So-What]

A rare sighting indeed

a member of their Oompa Loompa contingency.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. LOL!

[barbiegeek]

15. I bet he's real upset at the Tanning bed tax for HCR

[WeDidIt]

17. Boehner is an Oompa-loompa-American. n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. The only thing missing is anchovies and pepperoni slices.

[xultar]

26. The oompa loompa factor for 2010. We need to study that.

[blondeatlast]

33. Just waht race is that, anyhow? Salmon? nt

[treestar]

39. The Orange Race has rights too!

[Canuckistanian]

48. LOL! Yeah, I guess ORANGE is technically non-white

And I love the matching tie!

[HughBeaumont]

4. Well, there IS the black guy that they bring in to sing bad Frank Sinatra at their shindigs.

Complete with Red-baiting, anti-Obama lyrics and chorus-line kicks.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut other than him, no.

[chat_noir]

24. They hire black people to balance the sea of white faces.

The conservative singer Lloyd Marcus is being paid to attend. For participating in the last Tea Party Express he was paid $10,863.64 in fees and expenses. (not to mention the CDs he sells, good thing there are no sales taxes in Nevada or that would be one more way that they keep revenue from the cities and states they visit)

The other featured black conservative, William Owens, was paid $750 to speak and, via his company itouchPublishers was paid $16,200 in “PAC printing costs and generic fund raising” again, from FEC filings. The group, the Multi-cultural Conservative Coalition is composed of Williams and one other person. The phone number for this coalition is in the same group as his itouchPublishers.

38. I remember a meeting McCain had with a roomful of black people

The DU captions were hilarious! McCain thinking he was in a roomful of "tokens."

The right was so smug when they were able to appoint both Thomas and O'Connor to the SCOTUS, just like their smart ass ways to think the left can't complain due to race and gender of the appointee.

7. someone posted the demographics of the Teabagger- Over 55, white w/ slight edge to males

As if it wasn't obvious.

[mwb970]

25. I saw another analysis recently that said they are majority female.

That one kind of surprised me - maybe they've got it wrong somehow, I don't know.

Here's the writeup:

[Lilyeye]

8. In all the pics I've seen, I can honestly say I have seen about 5 black people and 1 Asian.

This is over the course of a year though.

[Ian David]

9. I saw a poll that said 78% of The TeaKlan is white.

You won't see the darker ones out in public at the rallies because they're afraid of falling prey to friendly fire.

[keepthemhonest]

43. I like that TeaKlan

is that the new name for them?Very appropriate.

[Ian David]

45. Hal Sparks came up with TeaKlanners. I shortened it to TeaKlan.

Someone here on DU came up with TeaKluxKlan.

[keepthemhonest]

47. that's great ,I am going to borrow those.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

10. That guy who took his guns to the Obama rally was of color

[Cirque du So-What]

11. Does Michael Steele count?

After all, aren't the GOOPers & the teabaggers inextricably entwined anymore?

[xultar]

19. He didn't start out one but he is about an inch from being added. I see him more as a role player

Who wants to keep his job and a baffoon

[calico1]

12. I have seen a few Blacks and Hispanics here and there...

I feel pity for them. They have to be very self loathing to be with a group that is this racist.

[NNN0LHI]

18. does anyone have any photographic evidence of a Politico reporter that is NOT white?

[xultar]

27. HuffPo too

[lunatica]

20. I remember seeing one of two black men sitting in the midst of whites

But that was early on. I think it was during the first time some people started wearing guns. So it may not have been with teabaggers.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

21. There was that dude who claimed he had his leg broken.....

....by pro-health care people at a town hall in Missouri, if I'm not mistaken. He was hawking t-shirts outside if I recall.

[Lerkfish]

22. what'd the t-shirt say?

"Don't whip me, massa, my leg already broke?"

I edited to add: this is obviously sarcasm, I'm making the point that anyone of color that hangs around the KKK teabaggers would have to talk this way.

[Nye Bevan]

28. Yes.

[xultar]

29. I'm speechless. It seems like they are joking.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

30. I think "Balloon Boy", or White House party crashers

Extreme publicity seekers. The disorder knows no race.

But it doesn't look like they're joking. Just self-serving.

:hi:

[YOY]

31. You mean you're surprised people would act against their own self interests?

I stopped being surprised at that a long time ago...

[treestar]

37. Blacks can fall for that libertarian nonsense as well as whites

The lady with the sign about the mortgage seems to confirm that!

[LynneSin]

32. Michael Steele was invited but he was too busy at that bondage themed night club

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8042438

Once on the ground, FEC filings suggest, Steele travels in style. A February RNC trip to California, for example, included a $9,099 stop at the Beverly Hills Hotel, $6,596 dropped at the nearby Four Seasons, and $1,620.71 spent at Voyeur West Hollywood, a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex.

[lame54]

34. Here ya go

Palin rally in Nevada

[Lerkfish]

35. yup, Ignorance is strength

I'm truly amazed -- there have been several examples since I started this thread.

[treestar]

36. Looks like there are some

Probably not many, though.

[Poll_Blind]

40. I thnk the only thing brown about teabaggers is maybe their teeth. n/t

PB

[guitar man]

42. don't forget their shirts!

:hi:

[AnArmyVeteran]

41. What about an undercover sting to get them to pay a black to attend a tea party?

How about getting a few good black actors to get a tea bagging organization to pay them to attend? Covertly video it of course. Hell, maybe that one black guy I saw at a tea party event WAS paid to be there.

I went to the tea party event near Houston last April 15th and not one person there was black, brown or yellow. They were 100% white and almost all males. I took hundreds of pictures and they proudly posed for me with their signs of hatred and ignorance.

[tabbycat31]

44. what about that crazy that ran against Obama for senate

I can't think of his name

[arcadian]

46. Teabagging across America promotes two non-whites

Teabagging express I think is the actual name.

[pipoman]

49. I thought I did...turned out to be just a white guy in black face....
