NAACP Racist Resolution Against Tea Parties Sparks National Black Conservative Press Conference National Black Conservative Press Conference Date:Wednesday, August 4, 2010 Time: 8-11am Place: National Press Club, Washington DC In light of the NAACP resolution accusing the millions of Americans who attend Tea Parties of embracing racists, Tea Party Express is hosting a National Black Conservative Press Conference. Black conservative leaders, organization spokespersons, authors, entertainers and activists from across America will gather in Washington DC to introduce themselves and their individual roles in fighting the good fight promoting conservative principles, values and patriotism. "How dare the NAACP call Tea Party groups and their members racist? These groups are colorblind and are dedicated to restoring constitutional principles and smaller government," Frederick Douglass Foundation Chairman Timothy F. Johnson has said. "The move by our government away from these principles have hurt families of all races, by raising taxes and enacting policies that have left millions unemployed in inner cities, suburbs, and rural areas across the country. Tea Party groups are fighting for common sense fiscal and social conservative policies, and are fighting to protect an unborn child's right to life and the sanctity of marriage." Dr. Johnson will be participating in the National Black Conservative Press Conference.
