The announcer introduces me to the audiences of thousands, "Singer/songwriter of the national America Tea Party Anthem, Mr. Lloyd Marcus!" I enthusiastically enter the stage, "Hello my fellow patriots! I am not an African American...I am Lloyd Marcus...AMERICAN!" The mostly white crowds go wild with applause and cheers of approval. I feel their relief and gratitude of a black man who loves his country and is not hostile or resentful toward them.
