What do you think would happen if...
About fifty or so black people showed up in the forefront at protests FOR HEALTHCARE. Would it then be called a Radical movement,a civil rights movement,if so why...

1. It would be called
a mobilization of insurgent forces. They would be considered treasonous,terrorist,non patriots,any and everything to do with being against the rights of real Americans.Look at all the things that they have done to just this one Black President and he is only half Black. Or should I say Kenyan. If you got together and put a hundred at one of these tea parties the bullets would be flying. You see how they were throwing things at a sick man,tearing up peoples signs (even though every time you see the black lady being escorted out by police on the msnbc clip), hollering screaming.These things are ultimately about racism and money and I think they put them right along side one another. This has nothing to do with the good of America.:smoke:

black people aren't REAL AMERICANS.Someone can come from another country and they are considered more American than AA..No matter how long they have been here.

5. ? Are you saying that if 50 of my brothers/sisters showed
up to PROTEST Health Care reform, as the teabagger wing of the Republican Party ? , they would throw them out?

Just wondering about that -- they put Michael Steele front and center to represent their entire party, they aren't afraid of using my people IMO.

The Rethugs were not afraid to have Colin Powell hold up that little bottle, nor were thy afraid to have Condi Rice (who had stated that GW was her "husband" at a party) have a powerful job.

Nor were they afraid to select that dirty Clarence Thomas to destroy our Court system.

In fact, if they put 50 Black people in front of the Protest Line in their warped minds, that would make more Black people join them in hating the President and all that the Democratic Party stood for - they are smart enough to know that most African Americans have supported the Democratic Party for a long time.

They would love to split off more Blacks to be Republicans.
