That's the way fellow blogger Cobb frames his question about the Tea Party member pictured below. I'd like to frame the question differently:
Based solely on the information in this photograph, would it be reasonable, justified or warranted to question the character of this man or draw the conclusion that bias, prejudice or stereotypes play a role in what he says and how he behaves?
Leave your answer Yes or No and why you think so in the comments.
Relentlessly Real. If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable.

Stereotypes exist for a reason, and the stereotype of American slaves being black exists for that reason. It seems like he is trying, in his unique spelling-challenged way, to say essentially the same thing that Star Parker was saying when she titled her book "Uncle Sam's Plantation: How Big Government Enslaves America's Poor and What We Can Do About It."
All this collectivism is just a clever distraction to "Where's the money going?"

You may be right, perhaps it is all a distraction, with the Tea Party perhaps being the most distracted of them all. I've seen it suggested elsewhere and I'm warming to the idea that rather than being the defenders of freedom and capitalism they think, they are more like Obama, namely a bunch of corporatists.
