10. I don't think the idea of a apartheid like government in America is actually what these people want.

I think they are more driven by fear of what they don't understand and of what is happening in our country, and a need to feel someone is listening to their needs and concerns.

I don't support the Tea Party and I would suppose there are some prejudiced people involved in the movement-but to suggest their motives and goals are purely race related is just not right, and this article does nothing but stir up anger and resentment by simplifying something that is actually more complex.
