Let’s see who can find a pic of a non white tea bager first. Minority subject must be the subject of the photo and/or be holding a sign which includes pork, fascism, socialism, or some variant thereof. GO!

Winner gets arbitrary internet props!

Not a good sign though when he’s got this on the side to describe him:  
There was also **a** black guy. “Do not adjust your cameras,” he said. “Yes, I’m black, I’m Republican and I’m proud of it,” getting a big hand. “I did not vote for Obama, I did not campaign for him, but I know a whole lot of my people did. And guess what, they got what they paid for. They want more welfare, they want more Medicaid and Medicare, they want all of that garbage. But guess what, there’s a price for everything. Because liberalism is a mental disorder. And let me tell you something, I have lived in the inner cities for most of my life, and I’m tell you something right now, they are waiting in line for their free food stamps and free health care and all that kind of stuff, but I would not fall for it.”

I’ll try to find one with a sign though, since my guy doesn’t really have one of those, just a bullhorn.

Alright we have a few winners. 1000 arbitrary internet points to each of you.

I did this on another forum and it took WAY longer, so good job guys. Interestingly enough the pic that finally won on that board was the second one posted here. Guess there aren’t too many then

When I read ‘Teabag related’, I expected something much less safe for work. Is there actually some type of protest that is referred to as teabagging? :eek:

It’s a misspelled term of derision aimed at anybody who participated in one of the tax day “tea parties” around the US yesterday.

“Tea Partiers” would be a more accurate term, but that doesn’t have the benefit of condescension that “tea bagger” does.

Here’s the Urban Dictionary’s page on [Tea Bagging](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=teabagging), for reference.
