NBC's Russert Questions Why Blacks Join "Racist" Tea Party

LUKE RUSSERT, NBC News: "Of these 32 [black] Republicans, GOP sources I spoke to said about four have a clear path to victory, like Mr. West of Florida, Mr. Parker of Arizona, Mr. Fraiser of Colorado [and] Mr. Scott of South Carolina. It's quite interesting that these candidates are soliciting support from the Tea Party, a group that a lot of folks claimed to be racist against African-Americans. These folks actually see them as someone they want in their tent as a path to victory."
