lol Maybe it is a skin-color thing. Maybe it's just that most blacks have better things to do and whites are bored. Maybe it's just because the demographics are predominantly white.
Why are tea baggers white?

The higher percentage of Americans are white. The higher percentage of urban dwellers live in the city. The higher percentage of Chinese are Asians. The higher percentage of hockey players are Canadian.
Why are tea baggers white?
Fox News was the major promoter of the protests. I couldn't find the viewer demographics of that particular news source, but I don't think many non-whites watch it.

Nice try, but dosen't fly.
If the numbers on the left were the same it would. As is the case with the tea baggers.
The numbers on the left were the same...when there was a conservative in the White House...or have you conveniently forgotten the last 8 years?
YouTube - Bush Protest - East Grand Rapids, MI
NEWS FLASH!!!
Idiots usually don't protest when their guy is in control.
The numbers I referred to were those indicating the number of whites who are Republican to those who are Dems.
However, your video does show whites protesting bush, so that is noted.
How many however think like this....
YouTube - Racism against Obama - CNN
Please tell me nothing is wrong with that cartoon....please.
I don't know, but it can be found in the tea bagging crowd quite easily.
Is there a segment of the teabaggers who are racists?
It pertains to the title of the thread, why are they mostly white.
Is it driven by race, politics or both?
Your video proves it was not race that drove the protests against Bush but given some of the language coming out of the teabaggers and there leaders can it not be said that a portion of it is driven by race?
Just asking.
No, you aren't "just asking".
You were the one that started the thread and it was you who mentioned race.
Why are people from Oshawa racists?
Just asking.
Hmm, according to a Gallup poll from June 1, 2009, the Republican base, is heavily white, conservative (go figure ehh?) and religious.
The Teabaggers are a group that I would call a counter-culture movement to the Obama administration. There were no Teabaggers when the first stimulus bills were passed, and signed into law by Bush. Many of the Teabaggers seem to be avid Glenn Beck fans. How is that relevant? Beck has been very vocal about Obama being racially motivated, and that seems to resonate loudest with people who perceive that Obama represents a movement of reverse racism.
The Teabaggers have lashed back at GOP Senators like Lindsey Graham who proclaimed that the GOP were "not going to be a party of angry white guys". They have lashed back at this man, who has a 90% conservative record of voting in the house!
Why are they predominantly white? The Republican party appears to be made up of more white conservatives than the Independents or Democrats. The media darlings that foster this movement are using the kind of rhetoric that attracts white conservatives. I think it's pretty clear why...
Republican Base Heavily White, Conservative, ReligiousPRINCETON, NJ -- More than 6 in 10 Republicans today are white conservatives, while most of the rest are whites with other ideological leanings; only 11% of Republicans are Hispanics, or are blacks or members of other races. By contrast, only 12% of Democrats are white conservatives, while about half are white moderates or liberals and a third are nonwhite.

lol This seems to be a thread designed simply to provoke another partisan issue based on skin-color. It's trolling.
Trolling?
Trying to understand what lies beneath American politics is trolling?
Sorry you misunderstand.
Why are whites so afraid fo diccusing race?
