"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."
Recent polling from Rasmussen about the average TEA party attendee population reveals that:
-Eighty percent (80%) in the Tea Party movement are white. Six percent (6%) are African-American.
-Fifty-five percent (55%) of those in the Tea Party movement are Republicans, 14% Democrats
Seventy-eight percent (78%) are politically conservative. Other research has shown that more than 40% of conservatives nationwide do not consider themselves Republicans.
-Ninety-four percent (94%) believe the federal government has become a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interests. That view is held by 67% of all voters nationwide.
