BTW, Are There Any Black OR Latino People Against President Obama?

I'm not only talking about the usual suspects like some black neo-conservatives. I'll also taking about regular black & latino folks as well.

In words words, do black OR latino tea-baggers exist?!?

I'm sure there are Latino and Blacks against President Obama and other groups, but I haven't seen them come out in droves as a group against him. I don't know about teabaggers though. I know during the Presidential race there were diehard, Black Clinton supporters, my sister being one of them. But I believe she voted for Obama in the end.

I've notice this as well. It seems to me that almost all of this anti-Obama drama is mostly a blbie belt bound white people kind of thing..

I agree about most of it coming from the south. I know there are many Cubans in Miami who are Republicans, so it would not surprise me, if many of them were against Obama's policies and proposals.

Latino Tea-Bagger here. Ready to dip these nuts.

But I'm not "against" President Obama. He, personally, politics from a centrist point of view. That's not bad, per say. However, the people he is trying to support and the policies that he is attempting to enact only serve to grow Government and further Keynesian Economic theory.

Those are the kinds of policies that I am against.

Wouldn't you assume they exist?
Neither group is monolithic.
Everyone anti-Obama doesn't have a platform to express their dislike, distrust, whatever.

Cubans in Miami are finally splitting. Younger Cuban-Americans quietly voted for Obama, a lot of them not telling their families that they did so.
Older Cuban Americans stayed Republican, largely because they feared an Obama Administration would seek closer ties to Cuba.

There's something wrong with a black Republican who stays silent while the GOP continues to throw black folks under the bus.

Just once I'd like to see prominent black Republicans tell the rednecks in their party to STFU, but they never do. They're as lame as the Log Cabin Republicans.

I don´t see why that would be a bad thing for them. Wouldn´t they benefit from improved Cuban-USA relations ? Sure, most of them are against Castro but even those would at least be able to send money or goods to Cuba and maybe even visit some relatives again.
Could you elaborate a bit on that, I´m really curious.
And are US-Cubans really against Castro´s goverment ? Didn´t they just say because they sought refuge in the USA? (Though I´m sure that many of them despise Castro because they lost a lot of property during the revolution but those must be a minority among the Florida Cubans).

Conservative living belongs in someone's personal life. I agree with fiscal responsibility but the rest of that crap can be done by them without involving everyone else. that's what church is for.

While I'm sure there are some that exist - there does not seem to be any large organized visible group - is this what inspires your question about it?

If there are Latino or Black "teabaggers" they are not very visible. All the footgae I've seen ( on ANY news reporting network) seem to be by and large caucasian.
