Tea Party "Uni-Tea" Race Summit Follows NAACP Flap
People attend a tea party protest in Washington, Thursday, April 15, 2010.
/ APIn the wake of the NAACP's passage of a resolution condemning racism in the Tea Party movement, a Tea Party group is holding a "Uni-Tea" convention celebrating the diversity of the movement.
The event will be held in Philadelphia on July 31st, and will feature a number of African-American speakers as well as white Tea Party favorites like Andrew Breitbart, according to the "Uni-Tea" website.
The slogan for the event, to be held at the Independence Mall and include live bands, is "United Tea Party For All Communities."
As NewsCore reports, TeaParty365 co-founder David Webb cast the event as a sequel to President Obama's "beer summit" last summer in the wake of the arrest of African-American professor Henry Lewis Gates, Jr. by a white Cambridge police officer.
Webb, who is African American, condemned what he called the NAACP's "selective racism" on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.
He complained that NAACP President Benjamin Jealous "will not condemn the New Black Panther Party for saying that they want to kill crackers and kill cracker babies, whereas he would condemn the KKK or any element that shows up . . . and claims that they are a part of the Tea Party."
In the wake of the NAACP resolution, Sarah Palin wrote that "the charge that Tea Party Americans judge people by the color of their skin is false, appalling, and is a regressive and diversionary tactic to change the subject at hand."
Among the scheduled speakers at the "Uni-Tea" convention are Webb, HipHopRepublican Political Commentator Leette Eaton-White and Fox News contributor Deneen Borelli.

If these loons are waving the signs at your rallies and no one in the party can curb these things, what would you expect most Americans to think about your organisation ?? The Tea Party as since been notified about the racists in their midst and instead of purging themselves of these loons, they're busy pointing the finger to some 6 member black panther party or now to something that may have happenned 24years ago - but WE STILL KNOW NOTHING IS REALLY BEING DONE AT THE TEA PARTY - Making them still very RACIST and BIGOTED. These racists have surely lost my vote on all ISSUES ..... Dumb Repugs !!
Beware when we hear words like racist, etc--they are attempting to
"Demonize" those who disagree with their agenda.
OBAMA IS SO CONFUSED HE DOESN'T REALIZE THAT WHAT IS GOING ON "NOW" IS HIS FAULT! HE STILL BLAMES EVERYTHING ON SOMEONE ELSE.
OBAMA AND THE LIBERALS IN CONGRESS BASED THE ENTIRE 2008 CAMPAIGN ON LIES. THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO STAY IN POWER. OBAMA IS THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO WEAKEN THE USA.
OUR PRESIDENT-IN-TRAINING HASN'T HANDLED ANYTHING SINCE HE TOOK OFFICE. HE SHOULD HAVE GONE TO HOLLYWOOD ---- NOT OUR WHITE HOUSE. AMONG OTHER THINGS, HE PROMISED TO CREATE JOBS. INSTEAD, HE CRAMMED OBAMACARE DOWN OUR THROATS.
OBAMA SHOULD: SUPPORT OUR MILITARY!!! CREATE JOBS!!! BUILD THE FENCE AND SECURE OUR BORDERS!!! STOP THROWING LAVISH PARTIES AND STAYING ON VACATION MOST OF THE TIME!!! HE SHOULD START DOING HIS JOB!!!
ILLEGAL MEANS UNLAWFUL!!! Why won't the Obama administration protect AMERICAN CITIZENS AND OUR BORDERS??? The Obama administration doesn't recognize them as illegal immigrants,THEY THINK OF THEM AS "UNREGISTERED DEMOCRATS"!!! The Democrats have stooped to new lows for pandering to the Hispanic voting bloc.
The American people will make them pay in November.
