Do I think the incidence of racism is higher among tea baggers than the general population? Yes. 1 - There isn't any good reason to think that. In fact the limited evidence seems to indicate the opposite. Racism is like an iceberg; frequently you only see the tip of it. 2 - Unless its A LOT higher, there isn't any good reason to make it an issue. The only reason not to make an issue of it is because the tea party has been doing a good job of self policing. The fact the movement is 99% white 1 - False - Gallup's data show 79% "Non-Hispanic white". 6% are "Non-Hispanic black" (Which is lower than the 11 percent in the general population, but is actually higher than would be expected considering the voting habits of American blacks). Do you have a link? 2 - Almost irrelevant to the charge your asserting. Are the NBA and the NFL shown to be racist against non-blacks since black people exceed their percentage of the population by so much? The white owners of NBA and NFL teams would freak if such claims were made. That's why its never brought up.
