Tea partier Mark Williams writes ‘letter to Abe Lincoln' from the ‘coloreds’

Still don't think Tea Partiers are racist?

Dear Mr. Lincoln

We Coloreds 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 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 Coloreds 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 coloreds! 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 massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!

The racist tea parties also demand that the government “stop the out of control spending.” Again, they directly target coloreds. That means we Coloreds 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! How will we coloreds ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?

Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.

Sincerely

Precious Ben Jealous, Tom’s Nephew NAACP Head Colored Person

Legacy, at first I thought your post was a joke or a hoax, and not something one would actually write down for people to see. I was wrong. Tea partiers can be even nuttier than I imagined!

Yup, no joke.

Yeah I thought this was a joke at first too.

So the NAACP didn't endorse this?

Some of them can be just as nutty as some of the members of the NAACP.

The vast majority of the members of both organisations, on the other hand, are not. And that's the way valid, but differing opinions are drowned in a welter of media rhetoric, sensationalist headlines and soundbites that showcase only the extremes and not the majority.

Mr. Williams is more than just "some member" of the movement. He is their face on media outlets like CNN and NPR. He is the big time and he's a scumbag.

I find it interesting the NAACP calls themselves the NAACP yet won't allow others to call them "colored."

I'm actually going to close this thread. The posted report is unabashedly racist and there is really no discussion that can occur here except to state that this is racist without violating TOS.
