It is vital to the author that the TEA PARTIES be painted as a den of RACISM as a means of discrediting the message that they were putting across.
But hey - all is far in a drawn out ideological war.
Tell me this though. What about these pictures are NOT OFFENSIVE and thus were not reported as such?
The BLAX News Network is committed to one thing: DOCUMENTING the fact that to the Black Political Operative things are only OFFENSIVE when they SAY it is OFFENSIVE.
It they like you - you can say or do whatever you want without any fear of going awry of their sentiments.
This type of subjectivity has the makings of the "How Many Bubbles In A Bar Of Soap" question which they hated.

Greetings,
My name is Tahir (dead prez producer). I have a music series called "The BlakkBerry Filez". I have released 5 volumes from this series in 2009 and scheduling volume 6 release for the new year. The vibe is revolutionary and responsible hip hop. If possible, I would like my work to be reviewed on your site. For my songs, videos, and more info go to www.TahirRBG.ning.com. Thanks for your consideration, time, and (hopefully) response.
Peace! - Tahir

Tahir,
if you're producing responsible hip hop, I sincerely wish you all the best.
CF,
maybe if whites use ebonics and say "nigga" instead of "nigger" concerned citizens for the uplift of the black community will be happier...
CF,
I just hate this sort of double standard on the n-word. It's a word that I cringe at and refuse to use.
We look like fools when we set up rules regarding who is allowed to offend us. On the average day, one can turn on the radio and hear more black folks using the n-word than anyone, yet no one raises their voice to condemn it.
We can run around and boycott someone flying a confederate flag yet can't marshal our resources to boycott the artists who put our these sorts of lyrics. Now, that's a march I'd gladly join.
Greg,
Totally agree. I think self respect and respect for others have to come first before demanding it from others.
Diane:
This same thing can be applied to the recent occurrence of "Death HOPES" against Rush Limbaugh.
One doesn't have to like Rush Limbaugh to agree to refrain from saying the very thing, if said against Obama would get a person called a RACIST.
Some bigots don't realize how much they are the mirror image of their enemies in thought and action.
The cumulative list of double standards continues to grow...
