Ozark Tea Party board member Inge Marler considers this joke an “ice breaker:”

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.’

Just for the record: More white people are on welfare than black people.

everything else looks like a joke.

5. Correct about Welfare - not only more whites, but more in red states.

6. Yeah, the average tea bagger is not racist - not much

Did this person deliver the joke wearing blackface followed up by a quaint rendition of Camptown Races? This is as embarrassing to hear as an old Amos and Andy routine of decades ago. Republicans are embarrassing our country before the world.

[Scurrilous]

7. K & R

[CakeGrrl]

8. K/R for visibility

More proof that the Tea Party isn't racist!

9. Just modify their jokes:

A rich kid asks his mom, ‘Mama, what’s a democracy?’
‘Well, son, that be when poor folk work every day so us rich folk can have our vacation homes and yachts.’
‘But mama, don’t the poor folk get mad about that?’
‘They sure do, son. They sure do. And that’s called class warfare.’

10. Several years ago, I would have been shocked

Now, it's part of the norm in the republican party.

11. This is why inbreeding is bad!

[Initech]

13. Once again proves that there's no such thing as conservative humor.
