Mark Williams, Author of Letter from “Coloreds,” Kicked Out of Tea Party (Updated)

video
» 89 comments

I don’t happen to know any leaders of the Tea Party, but I think I can guess their reaction when Mark Williams posted his letter mocking “Coloreds”: OY.

The fall-out: Williams has been booted from the National Tea Party Federation, according to spokesperson David Webb this morning on Face the Nation. CNN reports:

“We, in the last 24 hours, have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark Williams from the National Tea Party Federation because of the letter that he wrote,” Webb said of the blog post by Williams that satirized a fictional letter from what he called “Colored People” to President Abraham Lincoln.

Webb called the blog post “clearly offensive.”

Even more offensive, but less noted, were Williams’ responses to the comments the post received. Outside of the contrived context of black people writing to Lincoln, Williams spoke freely:

Where in that article do you see me addressing American Blacks, or any black people for that matter?

I am mocking those people who call themselves “Colored People” and who are now fighting to be kept as government owned pets, whilst hurling charges of racism at those who embrace freedom and civil rights.

It is in your head that the term “Colored People” means “Black”.

…and:

Such is the crippling power of PC that otherwise freedom loving people cave at the first whiff of what somebody else might think. I personally do not care what the lowest common denominator thinks of me, they are the current administrationʼs power base and are kept like favored house pets. They are fighting against your and my right to think and speak, and they are winning.

…and:

…“massa” owned slaves. The group that calls itself “Colored People” want government to be the new massa.

Try thinking for yourself instead of getting all hung up on whatever baggage filled with guilt youʼre carrying around. The entire point of my book “One Tea Party at a Time” is that you are crippled – mentally and emotionally by political correctness and thus powerless to defend yourself. You are at the mercy of whatever you fear somebody else may think of you.

Williams’ original blog post (now removed), with those comments, is preserved below:

Williams’ post was, of course, prompted by the Tea Party/NAACP kerfuffle this week. But if it hadn’t come out at a moment that the Tea Party was conscious about charges of racism, or if Williams hadn’t poured gasoline on the fire in the comments section, I’m curious what, if anything, would have happened. After all, the infamous Dale Robertson “niggar” sign is still available in high-resolution on the Houston Tea Party’s website.

In the Times this morning, Matt Bai notes that much of the racial tension around the Tea Party may stem from generational differences in perceptions of race. May be. But whatever the cause, racial politics are an ongoing challenge to a movement that seeks to speak for all Americans while only rarely expelling those whose definition of “Americans” is related to skin color.

Booting Williams should be seen as a good sign by all sides. For leaders of the Tea Party movement, the only question is: was there even any debate?

    “Mark Williams…Kicked Out of Tea Party”

    Good.

  • The_Reasonable_Lib

    SCAPEGOAT!!!!!!!!!!!

  • felixw

    Of course the Left will find some other tea party member who says something embarrassing and focus their coverage on that. What you will never encounter is the mainstream media telling people about the real agenda of the tea party — government accountability and fiscal responsibility — because most of their viewers would support these principles. So that needs to be hidden from view at all costs.

  • yweston

    It’s a start!!

  • tatboy

    So the Tea Party polices themselves better than the NAACP and you have to give the parting shot… “Was there any doubt?”.

    The teabaggers have no clue why they are protesting. If you ever watched coverage of a tea party, they interview different people and all of them give a different reason why they’re bitching. They’re just there to bitch.

    You continue to say that bullsh*t yet only 2% of the people in this movement actually know what’s going on polls have shown that. The majority of these people are seeking to rationalize a deap-seated irrational hatred. Period. The fact that none of them actually know what is going on and refuse to believe even when you educate them and provide proof of the matter proves just that. Enough with the talking points.

  • the real john t

    I loved it when some of the teabaggers were protesting health care reform, and carring signs saying “Stay Away From My Medicare”. Which made no sense at all. That just shows the intelligence of the teabaggers.

    I am glad the NAACP turned up the heat. If they had not, this guy would not have been fired. You can bet that the Tea Party will be working harder to try to tamp down the racist sentiments its members frequently express. The overt racists will have difficulty adhering to this mandate, causing many to leave its ranks and leading to the eventual dismantling of the Tea Party movement.

    After all, if you take out all the racists, there’s really not much left to the Tea Party except its corporate sponsors.

  • da-wdc

    Where was the Tea Party to voice concerns over fiscal responsibility when George W Bush turned the surplus of the Clinton years into enormous deficits? I bet they want to fight to keep his tax cuts for the wealthy, too, even though that’s been a massive contributor to the deficit. This is just a ginned-up movement by conservative PACs that’s against anything Obama does, because he’s a Democrat.

    (1) The federal surplus under Clinton was due to pressure from the Republican controlled Congress. When Republicans lost control of Congress,deficit spending was out of control. Here are the real numbers for you:

    (2) Tax cuts under Bush were followed by huge growth in the economy and federal tax revenues. In the four years following the Bush tax cuts, federal revenues increased by $785 billion — the largest increase in US history.

    I wonder how many registered Independents that vote view this?

    Personally, when I vote…I’m tired of fixing everything for everyone else. I’m going to have to work my whole life and get taxed for it to pay for someone else. Who knows when I will retire and if I get any Social Security.

    I planned ahead. With any luck and my health following a prescribed deterioration against an insurance adjuster…I can start cutting my work hours down in the next decade…and still work if I choose.

    I don’t care how it is phrased…the Baby Boomers sucked the life out of Social Security….and I will get nothing!

    You can’t pay for something you can’t afford. As I turn 50 this year…I just shake my head.

    For good or for bad…that is an underlining reason why there is a backlash against taxes going to social services.

    Why do people that have worked hard their whole life have to support others that don’t.

    Well said Lazzzlo…It’s hard not to get pissed, especially at the marxists on this site, whom I would bet most of which are single, have no mortgage, have no children, and work for the government in some capacity or are unemployed and sucking off the government teat. It’s obvious by their comments they don’t know or worry how much gas is, how much schoolbooks are etc…..They live a self centered existence.

    George Will on This Week:

    “Precisely. There’s nothing like name-calling and a kind of left-wing McCarthyism to enable the NAACP to make a desperate lunge for its vanished relevance. You say that this episode that he’s talking about and the Vice President made a brief reference to it, is a “he said-he said” whether or not the n-word was used. It’s a he said if four television cameras monitoring that event said it didn’t happen. A talk radio host if offering up $100,000 to anyone who can produce a shred of evidence that it happened. And, $100,000 is still on the table.”

  • yweston

    Timzank is a typical Bagger”

    Angry as hell, Bitter, irrational and full of conpiracy theories.

    The idea that the “Right Wing” is the entire spectrum of “working people” in the U.S. is the most disengenuous B.S. I ever heard to justify ANGER “fed” by Fox/Palin/Beck/Hannity/Limbaugh to mask the “disappointment” of people who fantasize “others” kept them from getting their share of the American Pie.
    They need to stop “bitching” about others and take….RESPONSIBILITY for their own “failures”. Stop blaming “hard working” progressives because your High School dreams didn’t come true. Get Over It!!

    BTW, Mark Williams was thrown out. Wonder if Pay-lin will come to his rescue at Glenduh’s “hijack Martin Luther King” soiree next month. Wonder if Scott Brown will save him since his organization gave Brown $350,000.
    Oops, I forgot Brown NEVER mentions the Tea Party.

    Hey Mediatite, STILL waiting for your piece on the left infiltrating tea-parties and posing as TP members:

    Bob Owens at Big Government reported yesterday that the far left Think Progress blog was using liberal-manufactured signs from Crash the Tea Party as evidence of tea party racism.

    Do you remember the abortive “Crash the Tea Party” movement? It was the brainchild of a liberal that explicitly called for progressives to commit fraud in order to attempt to discredit the Tea Party protests.
    At Pajamas Media we covered the abortive effort extensively, and made note of the very real bigotry the Crashers unwittingly revealed… in themselves.
    This morning, I came across this video from Think Progress:

    …Think Progress stitches together a series of posters they claim belong to Tea Party protesters.
    Really, Think Progress?
    Did you not think we’d remember the amusing signs your fellow liberals created for their little abortive “Crash the Tea Party” stunt in Boston? Let’s just say that some were more amusing than others, and some just showed pathetic and angry progressives often are.
    There is an old saying that you’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.
    Right Klik points out that basically every scene in the Think Progress video was manufactured. The liberal blog even included video footage from 2006 – before there even was a tea party!
    So why would a leftist website put out such an obviously doctored video in order to smear the tea party movement?
    The Center for American Progress(CAP) is a George Soros-funded initiative. It was founded by former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta. Think Progress is one of the CAP’s blogs that “provides a forum that advances progressive ideas and policies.”
    According to Discover the Networks, after Barack Obama was elected President in 2008, CAP served as perhaps the most influential organization advising the new administration. Among Obama’s leading advisers were John Podesta and at least ten additional CAP experts.
    Last week the NAACP announced that they would pass a resolution that 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.” Two days later Think Progress released its fraudulent “racist” tea party video.
    It makes you think that these radical leftist groups might be coordinating their attacks on the tea party patriots… possibly from the White House. Now, wouldn’t that be shocking?
    No.
    More… Nano added:

    Both the NAACP and CAP are part of a new coalition of left side groups. Their new effort to replace the Coffee Party is called ‘One Nation’ and is a mash up of over 170 member groups that reads like a who’s who on the left.
    The NAACP racist claim and now this effort are all part of the game plan this new group is going to bring forward.
    Pure Alinsky tactics of trying to isolate and name call somebody into a defensive mode to give them a leg up to push their own agenda.

    UPDATE: Bob Owens has more today on this completely bogus video at Pajamas Media.

    Left-Wing Knockouts: When Democrats Get Racist
    1:22 pm | Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
    Politics may not be the hottest thing in the streets, but if you look closely, it’s clear that politicians bear more than a little similarity to rappers. They both stay embroiled in beef, go to jail, enjoy their fair share of scandals, and take shots at each other. Last Friday, for instance, a book excerpt leaked quoting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid throwing bows at President Obama back in 2008, saying that he had “no Negro dialect” unless he chose to use one. And all we had to say was: Yowza, old man, hope you’re not counting on re-election anytime soon!

    The thing is, we hear all the time (and share with you all the time) about the right wing spewing racial fuckery, but today we’re pleased to do a little equal-opportunity bashing by looking back at the surprising amount of ignorance and bigotry coming from the left. So kick back, and take in your fair share of ‘cism as we look back at a history of racist comments coming from Democrats. Stop drinking the donkey punch, jackasses!

    DEMOCRAT: Joe Biden
    QUOTE: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy… I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” [To the New York Observer in February 2007]

    So apparently you can get “kicked out” of the Tea Party for making a bad joke, which is all that Mark Williams’ Coloreds letter really was.

    But this claim is misleading at best and a lie at worst. The Tea Party is a very confederated movement, i.e. it consists of numerous independent entities. There’s no group to get kicked out of in the first place. One of those independent groups for some reason just doesn’t want to recognize another. It’s basically like high school chicks fighting.

    Lefty Group Tries to ‘Infiltrate’ Tea Parties with Offensive Signs – Will MSM Take the Bait?

    This week, Americans of all political stripes will take to the streets — so to speak — to protest what they see as excessive and out of control government spending and intrusion into their daily lives. Among the many Tea Party protesters, however, will be individuals plotting to undermine the peaceful grassroots movement.

    Blogger Glenn Reynolds spotted CrashTheTeaParty.org today, a website that claims to represent “a nationwide network of Democrats, Republicans and Independents who are all sick and tired of that loose affiliation of racists, homophobes and morons; who constitute the fake grassroots movement, which calls itself ‘the Tea Party.’”

    Their plan is to “infiltrate” Tea Party protests to create the false impression that protesters are racists by … being racists. That’s right, they will bring with them offensive signs and give wildly offensive interviews to reporters, all with the intention of smearing a movement that wouldn’t bring those signs or give those interviews themselves. It remains to be seen whether the mainstream media will take the bait.

    You said ” Tea Party is a very confederated movement, i.e. it consists of numerous independent entities. There’s no group to get kicked out of in the first place”

    Well tell that to the Tea Party Federation because they kicked “Mark Williams and the Tea Party Express A$$e$” OUT FOR RACIST BEHAVIOR. I didn’t make that UP.

    WHOOPS BUSTED!! AGAIN….

    The Tea Party Federation isn’t the Tea Party. They are simply just another group in the nationwide Tea Party movement. There are more Tea Party groups not recognized by the Tea Party Federation than there are “official members”.

    Do yourself a favor and take the time to understand what a confederation is before spouting off. Unless you’re comfortable sounding like an idiot. Some people are, maybe you’re one of them :-)

    MichelleF: Mediaite did at least two posts about “Crash the tea Party, back when the guy did whatever promotion that he accomplished to attract the attention of (conservative) media. As I said at the time, it looked one dude who had registered a domain and who threw together a simple website. The fact that nothing happened and the domain is no longer active, sort of bears me out. (The domain was suspended for having false registration info, something which was widely reported at the time)

    Now, perhaps “Think Progress” has a video that contains a sign or two that someone may have located via a Google Image search, but the domain was likely suspended fairly quickly (to nip the false info demon in the bud) and the “group” was one guy in Oregon, who invested a few hours and maybe $15.

    Why is it that Racists ALWAYS try to PRETEND they are not racists when doing racist thing?

  • Ted

    MichelleF – You can cut and paste until you and / or Glenn Beck orgasms; I don’t care. It’s usually fanatic stupidity. You defend racists, and you defend racists comments and you do it over and over again, and so I’ve cleverly deduced that you are a racist. It think stupid goes without question, I’m sure you’d even agree with that.

  • Azarkhan

    Obviously the head of the NAACP is trying to stay away from the recent inflammatory racial rhetoric that has divided Americans:

    “Like Stormfront.org, a website founded by former KKK leader Don Black, the Council celebrates its allegiance to and influence in the Tea Party. The avowed racist David Duke notes that thousands of Tea Party activists have urged him to run for president. When the Tea Party marches by, Duke thinks it’s his fiesta.

    Our members know too well the pain and the potential danger of white supremacist groups. Since our resolution was publicized, a number of our branches and our corporate offices are reporting violent threats.”

    True.

    Racist and proud of it.
    At least you knew where everyone stood.
    Today’s racist has no balls.

    There’s only one thing lower than being a racist, and that’s being a ball-less racist.

    @proudpatriotusa: What I find interesting is that there are people commenting to this blog, who either identify themselves with the Tea Party movement or are aligned with their goals, who have said unequivocally, in no uncertain terms that they are proud racists and there are others who have strongly implied it.

    By itself that may not be an issue because as someone, whom I’m not putting the above categories has said, “the percentage of racists in the Tea Party may be no greater than the general population” (paraphrased), but it is kind of interesting that some of these self-identified racist tea partiers are usually among the first to defend the group.

    Personally, I’m glad that whatever Tea Party faction Mr. Webb represents has tried to distance themselves from Mr. Williams’ coalition. And hopefully someone with a scorecard could let us know… apparently Mr. williams group did the bus tour, so did Mr. Webb’s group hold the convention in Nashville or was that a third “wing” of the party?

    Well, well – a positive move from the Tea Party. That’s not to say Mark Williams won’t have his own show on Fox Not News Channel next week, though. He was on Geraldo last night defending the indefensible.

  • http://SailRabbits.com Magister

    @BFD: I thought one or the other of the self-appointed Tea Party orgs was a front for FreedomWorks. His Wiki identifies the group as “Tea Party Patriots” and though that’s neither of the above, it could be part of a “federation” and/or it could be associated with the “express”, it could be a third group or maybe it’s even defunct…

    …there’s just so many “Tea Parties”, it’s hard to keep them straight.

    That may be the stupidest thing I read today. Contrary to the content of this progressive circle-jerk chucklefest, racists generally don’t hide being racist, they relish it. They tend to say things that can leave no doubt about their racism, like “You’re gonna have to kill their babies.” while advocating racial purity.

    That said, you can say it all you want because nobody’s really listening, outside of the aforementioned progressive circle-jerk chucklefest.

    Social Security was MEANT to help those who would otherwise die in their old age due to lack of money. It was never intended to be your total retirement account. So we all pay for others: I pay for my mom’s benefits, my husband helps support his 80 year old parents…who retired in their 50′s and never, ever put into SS what they get out. So what? We both work, pay taxes, and have a lot saved for retirement. Our kids went to good schools, got jobs, got married, had kids. Why must the right assume that people who care about the welfare of folks other than themselves are on the dole, lazy, and stupid? We are none of the above, but we are Christian, and we try to follow Christ, who told us to take care of our fellow human beings, not kill them. kick them, or ignore their needs.

    You are too white to be American! Says Latino KKK

    Illegal immigration supporting Brown Beret protesters harass American patriots in front of Californians rallied in front of Angel Stadium (Anaheim, CA) that are trying to support Arizona’s SB 1070 law on Tuesday July 13, 2010.

    Nicknamed the Tan Klan or Latino KKK, the Brown Berets are a paramilitary organization founded in the 1960′s that support illegal immigration as a way to forge a racially pure homeland for Latino’s by overthrowing part or all of the United States. Many of these brown Nazis call their plans for a racist homeland ‘Aztlan’.

    While this woman brazenly screams racist comments through a bull horn, she can do so because the Obama administration and most of the major news networks in America have her back.

    While many in the media will conceal this incident, coverage of the NAACP’s false claim the Tea Party Movement is racist can be found on all networks.

    If America knew the truth about the real violence and racism that is pervasive in the pro illegal alien and pro Comprehensive Immigration Reform AMNESTY movement, then CIR would be destroyed.

    Can we all agree that racism is never acceptable?

    IF there are racists in the hierarchy of the Tea Party (or whatever they officially call themselves), they should be vigorously ostracized. The determinations of any and all hearings or conferences should be made public, and the media should offered a copy of the transcripts of said hearings and conferences.

    Anyone who may be interested in joining the Tea Party should have a copy of the mission statement and rules of conduct and must agree to live by those documents in order to remain a member in good standing.

    An accounting of the monies collected by or for the Tea Party, and the disbursements thereof, should be made available to the public, posted on the Tea Party’s official website.

    The New Black Panther Party, the Black Congressional Caucus, the NAACP, and whatever the hell Louis Farrakan calls his outfit should do the same.

    The moral outrage on both sides of the NAACP/Tea Party debate is pretty laughable. Mark Williams claims that the Tea Party has no racists? Come on. Get 20 people together at a neighborhood block party and you will have a racist in your presence. And the NAACP, while they have accomplished many good things for African Americans, they are hardly the last bastion of unadulterated racial tolerance.

    Busted: Dishonest Hacks at Think Progress Caught Manufacturing Another Fake Racist Tea Party

    THINK PROGRESS IS BUSTED AGAIN!
    The far left Soros-funded outfit does not just produce bogus films…
    They write bogus articles, too.

    The horrible far left hacks at Think Progress once again were caught lying about supposed racism in the tea party movement. On Monday they posted some random editorial – from early July – published in a New Hampshire paper – by some lone racist and try to link him to the tea party…. But if you read the whole editorial you see that “tea party” is not even mentioned in the racist editorial! The tea party is not linked to this racist in anyway.
    Think Progress just took an editorial written by some random racist and then they threw tea party on the title of their post. What horrible dishonest cranks.
    Here is the entire editorial from the Concord Monitor:
    As Think Progress reported, the New Hampshire racist was disowned as a candidate by the GOP who called him a “despicable racist” and a “fraud.” Murdough has no love lost for the GOP, complaining, “they’ve sold white people out.”
    Think Progress also admits that they don’t even know if Murdough is a tea partier. But, he did mention “tea party” in the comment’s section of the July article and therefore, according to these radical hacks at Think Progress, that proves that the tea party is racist.
    Got that? The tea party is racist because some white supremist mentioned their name. Using this same logic, Obama is Al-Qaeda because he was mentioned in a Zawahiri tape. Hillary Clinton is part of the Taliban because they mentioned her in a tape.
    This is insane and extremely dishonest. But, when you’ve got nothing and the unemployment rate is close to 10%, the record deficit is going over a trillion dollars, the country is broke and the president’s radical policies are unpopular across America, you make up lies to protect your radical associates.

    What a disgusting dishonest website.
