Here is your quote:

I think it wasn't surprising that the NAACP would call racist the Tea Party once the demograghics of the organization was released. It is a predominantly white association,

You are wrong when you say the Tea Party is "predominantly" a white organization. You did not use the word "majority" which could mean as little as 50.01% white (which would be 49.9% non-white). You used a word that means "for the most part; mostly; mainly" which is not synonymous with majority. Hound, you were just wrong about the term you used to describe the makeup of the Tea Party. Any reasonable person would not justify the decision of the NAACP to use the demographics of the Tea Party as a rationale for calling it racist considering it better reflects the makeup of America than the organization calling them racists who in fact are almost exclusively of one race.

By the way, using your logic and theirs, and considering America is more white than the Tea Party then you would accept the logic that America (which includes every black and hispanic person in America) is racist. We are all racists because we live in a country with the same (actually a little worse) demographic makeup than the Tea Party. Every black person and every hispanic in the country are racists because of the demographic makeup of the country. That makes no more sense than the NAACP's position...but then again, making sense on the left is not exactly a common occurrence.
