On Tuesday, July 13, 2010, the Convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People passed a resolution that condemns the Tea Party movement, for its toleration of racism among its adherents.
The next day, on CNN, a spokesman for the Tea Partyers responded, saying, "Racists have their own movement. It's called the NAACP."
Invited to make clear that racists are not welcome in the Tea Party movement, spokesman Mark Williams, instead, said, NAACP members are "a bunch of old fossils looking to make a buck off skin color."

As a life member of the NAACP, I have somehow missed out. Checking my tax returns, I have discovered that I have failed to make a cent off skin color.
Anyhow, I will watch media outlets today to see if other Tea Party reps jump to microphones to distance themselves from the comments of their associate, Mark Williams.
Hopefully, Mr Williams himself can expand on his comments and explain how someone like me ought to be making "a buck off skin color."
Like to know.
