Benjamin Jealous, President and CEO of the NAACP
The NAACP says the tea party movement provides a platform for “anti-Semites, racists and bigots.”
“The Tea Party movement has unleashed a still inchoate political movement who are in their numerical majority, angry middle-class white people who believe their country, their nation, has been taken from them,” reads the report, posted Wednesday on a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People-sponsored website, Tea Party Nationalism.
