Nope, no racism here. Yelling "This is the ugly face of ACORN" at African Americans is just some white guy's way of expressing his affection:
One People's Project has the full-length version of this video, taken from the big 912 rally in Washington, D.C., showing a middle-aged white man and his Asian wife chasing after and harassing a trio of black people -- primarily two teenagers and an adult guardian (possibly their mother) who were selling "Don't Tread on Me" flags along the long grassy mall.
As you can see, the man -- who identifies himself as Tim Jones -- shouts after them: "ACORN! These people are ACORN!!! They are frauds!!! ACORN is fraud!!! Obama sucks! This woman sells signs for profit of ACORN!!"
It attracts more harassers, and it verges on the point of an outbreak of violence when the D.C. bicycle police show up and break up the scene.
[...] The older woman tells him flatly they're not from ACORN, but he keeps shouting it anyway. [...]
The bigger question is: Why target African Americans when there are are hundreds of vendors at these things? And why assume that they have anything to do with ACORN?
Because, to the teabaggers, ACORN is synonymous with scary black people. [...]
As Susie says, ACORN is just the new wingnutspeak code for the 'N' word. It's now become an epithet -- one you can chase black people around with and accuse them angrily. Just what America needs right now.

My pal Jason Leopold will be writing in depth about all these ACORN "revelations" very soon. I can't wait for the-- What's it called again? Oh yeah-- truth to start seeping out.
UPDATE: Speaking of truth about ACORN, here's some now! (H/t: FereJohn and Philanthropy)
