The measure -- which is expected to receive a vote this week by NAACP delegates at the organization's annual convention in Kansas City, Mo. -- requests "all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era."
Anita Russell, who heads the Kansas City NAACP local chapter, indicated to the Star that she's "pretty certain" the resolution will be approved.

Brendan Steinhauser, who serves as director of campaigns for the conservative coordinating group FreedomWorks, told the K.C. Star: "I just don't see racism in the tea party movement." He added, "Racism is something we're absolutely opposed to."
