I believe that racism still exists in all races of people. I'm definitely not a tea party person, but I don't think it's a racist group. My guess is that they would welcome all the African-Americans and Latinos in the US to join them if they would!

Nor do I (though I disagree with them on a few of their political perspectives). The group as a whole is not. I think we should realize that this group attracts racist people though. Same is true of NAACP, La Raza, etc... Any group with a cause attracts activists for ideas that overlap. In the case recently, immigration, the overlap is loud and clear.

Agreed!
