After the NAACP passed a resolution declaring the Tea Party to be a “racist” organization, Tea Party-backed Florida Congressional candidate Allen West held a town hall meeting in Fort Lauderdale to address the concerns of voters. He also wrote blog posts defending the Tea Party, while at the same time attacking the NAACP.

West accuses the NAACP of not continuing the original mission of the organization. He accused them of being racists who have mentally and economically enslaved Black people, and of not being a credible organization in political affairs.
