Is apartheid something the USA should embrace?

IrishCentral reports headline reads, “Tea Party serves piping hot cup of hate and bigotry.” They worry that only bits of Tom Tancredo’s racist rant to Tennessee’s Tea Party Convention made it to the press, and coverage there was scant. Most of the reporting was about whether Sarah Palin would run in 2012 or not, and what here chances would be if she did.

Are we ignoring a green-eyed monster that might gobble up the freedom and equality we have fought so hard to establish in America? Or is Tancredo right? Are immigrants and otherness (mainly covered in dark skins) about to destroy all that is holy and good about genteel, white America.
