Looks like some folks have been reading those tea leaves, honey! Basically, the Teabaggers have finally figured out their fatal flaw — the overwhelming whiteness of their movement in the face of a diversifying nation — at the exact same time a bunch of opportunistic African-Americans are sniffing around for free money and promotion-a-plenty. Republicans are between a rock and a hard place — with a few African-Americans willing to be the grease that reduces the friction.

Will racist tea partiers — the same people who bring guns to rallies and create signs portraying our President as the Joker, Hitler, Stalin or god help us, a monkey or an ape — vote for black candidates who publicly espouse their views? We’ll see.

It’s about to get ugly, y’all. Remember Angela McGlowan’s face…We’ll be seeing more of her in coming days, I’m guessing. Sponsored by Fox News!
