Hound, you are watching a little too much pMSNBC. According to a recent Gallup poll the Tea Party supporters as a whole are composed of about 29% non-whites, including blacks and many Hispanics. This false representation of the makeup of the movement is being perpetuated by the government media. While it may not reflect the overall composition of the American public that is because so many blacks are firmly planted on the Democrat party plantation. But the fact remains that since 75% of America is white and only 71% of Tea Party proponents are white the movement as a whole is very representative.

If you want to see a group lacking racial diversity I suggest you look at groups like RAZA, NAALCP, Black Panthers, etc. I am not arguing that there aren't elements that have attached themselves to the movement that are racist but they are a tiny minority and when exposed they are roundly drummed out. You can't say the same thing about the racist organizations like the NAALCP, etc.
