NAACP Decries Tea Party Racism

The Tea Party also known as the Republican Party is facing severe criticism from the NAACP. The charge is The Tea Party's blatant, obvious, and constant racist underpinning in the shadow of a black president.

Vegas odds makers say the charges will stick.

Kansas City Star: NAACP considers resolution decrying racist elements in tea-party movement
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will propose a resolution this week condemning racism within the tea party movement.

The resolution, scheduled for a vote as early as Tuesday by delegates attending the annual NAACP convention in Kansas City, calls upon “all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.”

on the other hand, The Tea Party says -

"The NAACP has more of a political agenda now, but I would hope that they would appreciate the fact that the tea party movement has a lot in common with the civil rights movement. I’m personally inspired by what the civil rights movement did, and I want them to know that.”
