I have a certain number of tables in my document that I want to remove. They
are scattered throughout the document. The text in the tables is colored red.
If I write a macro to globally find & replace red text with nothing, it
removes the text but not the tables themselves (i.e., I end up with a bunch
of empty tables). How can I automate this process so that I can remove these
tables?

Use this macro (see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed):

Sub KillRedTables()
Dim oTbl As Table

For Each oTbl In ActiveDocument.Tables
If oTbl.Cell(1, 1).Range.Font.Color = wdColorRed Then
oTbl.Delete
End If
Next oTbl
End Sub
