Inside The Gallup Poll

So despite the media's attempts to deem the tea Party as "racist" Gallup did some real reporting and in their April 5 poll went deep into the demographics of the Tea Party.

The poll poll found that of the Tea Partiers, 79% are white, and 6% were black.

Seems pretty unbalanced right? Surely this means it is largely all whites.

Of course as many are now pointing out that the poll also showed the numbers for all US adults.

Those results found that of the whole US adult population, 75% are white, and only 11% are black. Now based on that isn't the whole country racist? Of course not. I could find a country in Africa that maybe has 81% black and 2% white. Would i say that country is racist?

The fact is 11% of US adults are black. Now going strictly by numbers, 6% of tea partiers are black. So based on those numbers, wouldn't it make sense that blacks would almost always be a minority representation in any group gathering? Since 75% of the country is white, you expect that in most places you go, you will find more white people. It's not that hard of a concept. Only 11% are black, so naturally most places you go you will see less blacks.

So only 11% of the US adult population is black. 6% of the tea party is black. So going strictly by numbers, i could claim that the 6% of black tea partiers are more than the 5% who are not. Majority anyone?
