What if the Tea Party was black?

There's a great article in Post Partisan today. I recommend that everyone read Tim Wise's original post too. No seriously, read it now. It addresses a number of serious double standards that exist within our country. It also made me kind of sad that it even had to be written, no matter how true it is.



Here's the explaination included with the video:

"A few months ago, Tim Wise wrote a widely circulated article called, "Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black " which challenged America to take a close look at the hypocrisy of the Right Wing. Now, a Pittsburgh rapper is accepting his challenge in true Hip Hop form. Jasiri X has released a video called "What if the Tea Party was Black." The Hip Hop artist says that he got the idea when Paradise,a member of the pro-black rap group X-Clan, forwarded him a copy of Wise's article. "I saw the article and I liked the concept," says the rapper. So Jasiri hit the studio with producer Cynik Lethal while Paradise grabbed his video camera and they went on their mission to defeat the Right Wing propaganda machine."
