“There aren't a lot of African-American men at these events,” NBC News reporter Kelly O'Donnell, a white woman, told Darryl Postell, a black man at a Tea Party rally held Thursday in Washington, DC, pressing him, in an exchange she chose to include in her NBC Nightly News story, to address her prejudiced assumptions: “Have you ever felt uncomfortable?” Postell rejected her loaded premise that race must divide Americans: “No, no, these are my people, Americans.”
Great answer.

"these are my people, Americans"
This was pretty much the opening statement of one of the black speakers at our New Orleans area Tea Party rally yesterday.
The teaparty sure isn't turning out the way the left had hoped.
