What Colour Is Your Teapot...?

Well, it was just a matter of time before the Wasichu made it's appearance, enit? How dare us, People of Colour, go to the polls and vote one of our own into office?

White Racial Resentment Bubbles Under the Surface of the Tea Party Movement
The simmering movement is the whitest phenomenon on the national scene, evident not just in its Caucasian numbers but in the bedrock beliefs stirring its anti-government contempt.

Editor's Note: Rich Benjamin's commentary on the underlying "white grievance" currents in the Tea Party movement were buttressed Thursday by the statements of Republican Tom Tancredo, the opening speaker at the Tea Party convention. Tancredo told attendees that President Barack Obama was elected because "we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country," an allusion to how Southern states used literacy tests as part of an effort to deny suffrage to African American voters before the civil rights era.
