For those who are unaware of what teabagging is this is an example:
and this which I got to witness firsthand:
Okay so last Thursday I went on a trip to San Francisco with my girlfriend. It seemed like any normal day in San Francisco until we walked through Union Square Park to find a horde of people with signs, chanting, and yelling. Obama was going to show up at the Westin, for what i am not sure, and people were waiting to give him a peace of their mind. A lot of the signs that we being shown had the same sort of stuff that you saw in the two videos. I even saw the "Obama is the Judas of America" sign up close, a few of them in fact. People were yelling out "We want our country back", "USA", "We want freedom", and also "USA is Christian". There was also a sign where that said "I do not want any of the Kool-Aid" with Obama painted in Joker face paint. Hearing and seeing all of this stuff i wondered when it was no longer the United States, is it because a half black man become president that it is no longer the USA? Is it going to be turned into the USBP?(United States of Black People). So the thing that I wonder is are these people really mad at what Obama is doing with Health care or is there a deeper issue that they are upset with? Yes I do believe that a lot of these people are genuinely upset with what is going on with Health care reform, but I also believe that more of them are upset with the fact that a black man is president. Especially the ones who know nothing about the issues in which they are protesting. So is teabagging just another excuse for people to be blatantly racist or is it just what it is a way for people to show how they feel about the issues? Well one teabagger has an answer for this question.
This is something I would I have liked to ask some of the teabagger I encountered. And another question would this be allowed if it was a large group of black people, protesting like this?
