Surprise, Surprise: Tea Party Leader Tells Racist ‘Joke’ at Arkansas Rally
Tea Party board member Inge Marler, stayed true to the racism and bigotry of the organization when she made a joke that could only be considered ignorant.
Speaking to a crowd of supporters in the Ozarks of Arkansas, Marler had this to say to get the crowd going:
“A black kid asks his mom, ‘Mama, what’s a democracy?’
“‘Well, son, that be when white folks work every day so us po’ folks can get all our benefits.’
“‘But mama, don’t the white folk get mad about that?’
“‘They sho do, son. They sho do. And that’s called racism.’”
*Cue laughter from rednecks citizens concerned about higher taxes.*
Racism is nothing new for this organization.
In January of last year, two dozen members of the Tea Party of Tennessee presented lawmakers with a list of “priorities and “demands” for the 2011 legislative session. According to the Party, it would “besmirch the image of the Founding Fathers” to be honest about this nation’s history.
In material distributed to the legislators, they demanded that state laws governing textbook criteria ensure that “no portrayal of minority experience in the history which actually occurred shall obscure the experience or contributions of the Founding Fathers, or the majority of citizens, including those who reached positions of leadership.”
Party spokesman and Fayette County attorney Hal Rounds said the group wants to address “an awful lot of made-up criticism” about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another.
“The thing we need to focus on about the founders is that, given the social structure of their time, they were revolutionaries who brought liberty into a world where it hadn’t existed, to everybody — not all equally instantly — and it was their progress that we need to look at.”
According to The Huffington Post, leaders within the Tea Party condemned Marler’s “joke” — after they were contacted by the press.
Is anyone really surprised?
Then you have these shucking knee- grows talking about being in the tea party
Walking around with rebel flags talking about don’t tread on me
And i know there were some dumb knee-grows in there laughing at the joke
Black people are the most racist creatures on planet earth.
Murdered whites out of Zimbabwe
Murdering whites out of South Africa as we speak.
Then you all wanna cry foul if whites don’t overlook an asian or a white person to let in your “best & brightest”.
Blacks can’t keep up…. & for a while that was ok cuz times were good and we could afford to let your ignorance slide past as normalcy
That time is coming to an end
@Normal Guy – Another drama queen. Black people are the most racist? Try again. I know you read that on one of your little racist blogs you read everyday. Are you telling me that white people in Zimbabwe and South Africa or anywhere else aren’t racist? Black people are just more likely to be caught saying racist things. That doesn’t mean they are more racist. White people are definitely thinking these things. Now that the Internet is so big, we know that many of you are still thinking racist things.
You could afford to let our ignorance slide? You all are so silly. You watch too much sensational Faux News. You think the country is in Armageddon and it’s because of black people. You silly people think that all black people sit around waiting for a paycheck that only you work for. Miss me with that. The average black person works for a living. The average black person does not sit around and wait for their welfare queen check.
Crime may be higher than it should be in this country, but it is lower than in the past. Birth rates among blacks have decreased, and more black people are going to school and getting higher education. You drama queens like to act as if we are in Armageddon. Like I said your opinions are usually formed from watching too much Fox News and reading racist websites. By the way. It’s kind of lame that you troll around this site to leave hateful comments.
I can’t wait to see what happens after things change. By change, you mean cut spending on handout programs. I want to see how much money the government will save from cutting off these welfare queens. I mean according to you that’s what’s causing the problems. I want to see the look on your faces when you realize that the welfare that you complain about is a very small percentage of the budget.
Do you know how many times Asian students get looked over by graduate school programs to let in a domestic white student? Do you care how much white women have benefitted from preferential treatment of underrepresented groups in academics? What do you think about the fact that the best and brightest students are usually Asian? They probably feel the same way about you. They probably think that you can’t keep up.
I’m sure it occurs to you that the “whites” in Zimbabwe and South Africa stole the land and shouldn’t have been there in the first place.
Guys. Don’t feed the trolls
I kills me that the melanin challenged think that only black folk receive government assistance. Go to any welfare office and see who’s coming and going. You’d be surprised.
