Nope. The racist part happens when 100's of Tea Baggers swarm around taking pictures of the black person to prove that a real live black person actually came to a rally. It's kind of fun when it first happens, but after a while you start to feel like Lindsay Lohan.
Here in western Colorado there are very few blacks and as a percentage, there were more blacks at the first tea rally than we have in our population. One of the black men was a well received, eloquent speaker from the Denver area. I thought he was the best speaker I saw, did not stay for the entire rally.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
