Tea Party Shows Its True ‘Coloreds’

The following letter was written by Mark Williams, conservative radio talk show host and leader of the Tea Party express. This letter is in response to Mr. Benjamin Jealous, President of the NAACP, who demanded that the Tea Party take a public stance against racist elements participating in their rallies.

Mr. Williams inflammatory and insensitive ‘mock’ letter is supposed to be a letter from Mr Jealous to President Abraham Lincoln. The letter speaks for itself, including innuendos of ‘colored’ people’s laziness and entitlement, and the mention of an ‘Uncle Tom’ related to Mr. Jealous.

Dear Mr. Lincoln

We [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People and we demand that it stop!
In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the ‘tea party movement’.
The tea party position to “end the bailouts” for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn’t that what we want all [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us[National Association for the Advancement of]Colored People! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.
And the ridiculous idea of “reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government.” What kind of world would we have is I ever to control and be responsible for my life own? As [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions and if you do not agree than there is not enough Colored in your People, as we labeled Ken Gladney [source]
The racist tea parties also demand that the government “stop the out of control spending.” Again, they directly target [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People. That means we [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.
Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government “stop raising our taxes.” That is outrageous! Totally racist! The tea party expects [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People to be productive members of society, especially when our mission is to convince them that progress is impossible for them based on the color of their skin?
Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by someone else. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we say that belong.

Sincerely
Ben Jealous, Tom’s Nephew National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Head Colored Person


This is the Party of Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, and Sharron angle. This is the ‘movement embraced by the Republican Party that they herald as the voice of ‘real Americans.’ If this letter is an example of the America they envision, let them know that you’ve seen their true ‘coloreds’, and that real Americans will not tolerate their ignorance, hatred and bias.
