The Tea Party

Sooo I was looking on wikipedia for info about this whole Tea Party hubbub that's been happening in the US, because even though I've been reading some stuff on it while abroad, it still doesn't make a lot of sense to me. So I read the article, then I look at the crowd photos somebody took of a march on Washington DC last year... and it's mostly become clear, but I hope for the sake of America that I'm making a generalization.

First look at the big crowd shot, like I did, and read the signs they have, look at some of the faces. No taxes, cut the government down to barebones, get rid of Congress, support the constitution, etc, you know, stuff that doesn't contradict itself at all.

Then look at the detail I found and attached here. First I only saw the creepy grandma looking askance at something she must think is very dangerous or disgusting, and so I made fun of her. Then I panned over to see what she might be looking at. It's a... black American woman! (gaspspsps!!!) Haven't we kicked those out of the country yet? This is why we need to secure our borders, America! Who gave her that t-shirt?!

I'm totally misconstruing the photo, right? Please, please tell me I am.

If you can't, feel free to try and post a caption. I hear that's a popular internet thing to do.
