"What is democracy?"

The following was a report from The Blaze.com, a Glenn Beck site.  I repost it here because it illuminates much about American politics in a few sentences.-------Hugh Murray

A member of an Arkansas Tea Party group has resigned her committee seat after she opened an event last week by telling a racially-charged joke.

Inge Marler told the joke as an ice-breaker before a June 9 rally of the Ozark Tea Party. It details a fictitious conversation between a black boy and his mother after the boy asks about democracy:

“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.’”

Many Black Nationalists have promoted Ebonics and urged that it be taught as a language in public schools. Yet, when a Tea Partier speaks in Ebonics, she may be denounced as a “racist.” More double standards. More anti-white racism. More too much sensitivity for the liberal media who will report racism no matter what.
The content of her joke is solid. If the media ever truly wanted to find racism, note how one racial group voted about 95% for Obama.
