In May, seeking to assess the strengh of political charges that Tea Party protesters are racists, Reason.tv went looking to see what they could find.
Lots of protesters, many with views different from the libertarian Reason, but they found no racists among the group.
Lawful protests against an incumbent administration may have many of motivations, and yet not a one based on race. I don’t agree, for example, with the anti-immigration policies of some Tea Party protesters, but that doesn’t mean I think those holding such views are racists.
They aren’t.
The attached video shows what they are, and it’s not racial animosity that animates them.
