"Some of these folks in Congress would love to see us as second-class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me ... hanging on a tree," Carson said, according to the audio."
Now here we have a member of the Congressional BLACK Caucus calling the tea party racist, and not only that, but goes as far to claim that the tea party wants to see blacks hanging from a tree..
First of all, if there is any racism here it is the existence of the Congressional BLACK Caucus in the first place.
"And earlier Wednesday, Jason Tomsci, a Carson aide, said the congressman's sentiments were valid. “Members of the tea party are holding up a lot of things that the president wants to do and want to gut critical services and programs that they know are important to African Americans as well as Latinos and other minorities," Tomsci said."
Secondly, to concern yourself with issues relating to ONLY minorities and not all Americans is also racist.
Unless of course a white congressman can come out and say he champions issues that only concern white people. I guess that would be racist huh?
