The Tea Party Movement on the other hand, has people of all races in it. It's main purpose is to oppose the Obama administration, as well as supporting small government policies.
The EDL (which to many, including myself, is just the activist wing of the BNP (with proven links between the key members in the higher ranks of the EDL)) released a video with one of their leaders claiming the EDL wasn't racist which also had black people declaring their support for the "non racist" EDL. I'm confused as to why a black person would want to say this, perhaps ignorance? Bribed? Or perhaps I'm wrong about the EDL? There was also the case of a Sikh man who was trying to join the BNP, and he defiantly wouldn't have fit their description of a "true" indigenous British person.
I'm not saying its necessarily the same case with the black members of the tea party, but I do see that for whatever reason some minority people are part of clearly racist organisations and do, or at least claim they do, support the cause.
