Go to Blackdemographics.com, scroll all the way down and read up on the facts. This is a website created by and for African Americans. The data they provide is fact. No racism here.

Oh the cry of racism salmonspartan…The cry of racism is always the cowardly cry of the ignorant and it enables the ignorant to stay that way. Don’t let any information from the Census Beareau, the Tax Foundation, Wikipedia-African American Demographics and scores of other sources get in the way of your stance. Yes there are more white people in America than blacks. You go do the research as I have before crying racism. Maybe that purple drink you speak of is…Kool-Aid? Yes I am pissed at CNN’s implication that these tea party’s had racist implications. If only as many blacks came out to speak about lower taxes, less government, and the Fair Tax, as they did to see Obama when they were fainting, and telling news reporters how great it will be when he’s president because they won’t have to make house payments, car payments, or pay for gas. Really WTF? Remember when New Orleans flooded years back, guess what, people down there are still sitting on their asses saying “Where’s my shit Mr. Government”. Now look at last year when the Mid-West had the flood of the century. These people put their nose to the ground, stood on their own two feet helping each other rebuild and are getting it done. What a concept. By the way, the black community turns on ANYBODY who doesn’t tow the line crying racism. Condi Rice, Justice Clarence Thomas, The Black Conservative Voices, and even Bill Cosby are attacked and called “boot licking uncle toms” for trying to inspire there people out of the generational poverty. Who’s the real racist?

WTF, salmon? Why are you asking me for specific examples? I believe that all Americans are taxed too much because government spending is way out of control, and I believe it’s a flawed tax system for the government to take a higher and higher percentage of your paycheck the more you make, but I have never researched any kind of statistics that have said well this tax bracket is such a percent white vs. other minorities, so they pay more taxes; I’m not sure why you’re asking me to provide you with examples. I would appreciate it if you would please provide a quote from me that you are referring to. Did you by chance mean trib or DelRio?

As for your example, unless you are filing a more in-depth tax return and are claiming more exemptions, there is no reason why you would be paying less than your roommate if you are within $1000 of anual income. Everyone uses the same tax table and there is no box saying tax for minorities, so for you to claim that he is paying more tax than you simply because he is half-mexican is bullshit.

TF, I’m asking for the specific example in which a white person is taxed more heavily. I live with a guy who’s half mexican, and I paid a fraction of what he did, even though I was with in the same bracket and was with in say 1,000 of what he did last year. I have a full class load now, and work more then one job, while he does not. I’m unclear as to what you mean.

Does the tax code give you a bigger tax credit for the term “grape drink” than “yo 40″? Or does it only apply when not pretending to be racist or both? Or for some reason white people have a higher taxation rate when working more than one job and going to school under a full class load so as not to have to start paying their student loans back yet, so they can support their families while still trying to better themselves? Or is this all bunk because there are all nationalities who have some members who do it to? whew, too much, someone just pass me a dew please? Hmm, I thought this was a tea party?

Now, are you implying that white people pay more in taxes because there are more of them or because for some reason white people have a higher taxation rate? Please be more specific.

And drink “yo 40″? Why not just say grape drink and take the time you ‘d use pretending not to be a racist to look up tax code.

Just as I suspected, the tea-party attendance in the U.S. is being reported way lower than actual numbers. These media clowns are also saying that there weren’t enough ‘blacks” in the crowds, proving the “white” racism towards African Americans and our militia ties. Uh hem….the numbers are easy to find if journalism was alive and journalists did their homework….white people PAY THE MOST IN TAXES therefore there would be more of us for obvious reasons. These cheese heads love to bring race into everything when the numbers don’t support their cause. It seems reasonable to me that if you’re on government assistance for everything, you don’t want anyone to stop footing the bill for you so you can keep playing video games all day, drinking “yo 40″, and enjoying a few naps in between. Really WTF? I’m tired of the plight from the ignorant sluggard. We live in the most prosperous nation in the entire world, some people work three jobs and these bums can’t find one? Maybe we are to prosperous? Maybe we still have to much “white guilt”?
