MARK WILLIAMS

This quotation shows American tolerance and freedom of speech even for our head of state.

The letter was written in the supposed style of a Black after Emancipation and includes most of the ugly false stereotypes of the worst of the racists of the present and the slaveowners of past times. Williams stated that he was not a racist and was trying to make a point about freedom required risk and responsibility. However, the effort was interpreted by many people, Black and white, to be insulting and a put down of African Americans. At the same time, although most of the Tea Party members were not racists, most of the racists in America were supporters of the Tea Party. Those people interpreted the quotation as "telling it like it is" about Blacks who do not want the responsiblities and risks of freedom and are not yet developed sufficiently to be equal citizens in a democracy.

The Tea Party movement began as a ultra conservative / libertarian off shoot from the right wing of the Republican Party. However, it was really a loose amalgam of disparate groups and individuals. While some of the Tea Party enthusiasts were genuine conservatives and/or libertarians who were not racist and fascist, the fascist and racist elements of the nations—the extremists—were also attracted to the new movement would depart from the Republicans who they thought were too liberal and political. Williams and others rapidly exposed themselves and the hateful elements of the Tea Party.
