Arkansas Tea Party Member Resigns After Telling This Racially-Charged Joke About ‘Democracy’

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.’”
Audio has surfaced of Marler telling the joke, too:
“I was caught off-guard,” the group’s founder, Richard Caster, told the Baxter Bulletin afterwards. “I wish she (Ozark Tea Party board member Inge Marler) hadn’t said it,” Caster said. “I am sorry about Miss Marler’s joke.”
Marler, who was member of the group’s steering committee, has since resigned. Caster announced that move in a statement to the paper, which included a charge to the media to do its due diligence in investigating other matters:
On Saturday, June 9th, the Ozark Tea Party came together to work towards a brighter future for America. Sadly, our vision and message was tainted by an incredibly inappropriate joke told by one of our committee members, Inge Marler.
I was shocked when it was told and as the leader of this organization, I sincerely apologize. Jokes like these have no place in American Politics.
Due to her unfortunate actions, Ms. Marler has agreed to leave the Ozark Tea Party Steering Committee. Ms. Marler did not speak for me or for the Ozark Tea Party when she told that joke. We hold ourselves to a very high standard, and her joke went against what we stand for as a Tea Party. As anyone who has organized an event knows, it is impossible to control every word that is said at the microphone. If I could have stopped her, I would have. Once again, I apologize on behalf of the Ozark Tea Party.
I was very impressed by the media coverage of our Tea Party. I was beginning to think that Investigative Journalism was dead. However, the media has proved me wrong. I would ask the media to continue to do their jobs and to discover the truth wherever it lies.
[...]
Ms. Marler was wrong in telling that joke and is no longer a part of our organization. She was held accountable. However, Eric Holder, who is the United States Attorney General, used tax dollars to pay for guns that were used to kill American citizens, and he has not been held accountable. Rep. Maxine Waters has not been held accountable. Rep. Barny Frank has not been held accountable. I would argue that given their positions of power, not only their words but the implications on their actions vastly out way the affect of Ms. Marlers’ inappropriate joke.
Lastly, Occupy Wall Street, who has been coined by the media as, “the Left’s answer to the Tea Party,” has not been held accountable for the rapes, vandalism and public defecation, that have occurred during their events, on multiple occasions. I have yet to hear of a Tea Party event where young women were raped, businesses were shut down, and activists were pooping on police cars.
I have no problem with the media holding us accountable. We held ourselves accountable. I just wish they gave the same treatment to everyone.
“I had no idea,” Caster, who is 21, told HuffPo in recalling the event. “She had given me her whole speech, and it was about her growing up in Yugoslavia and coming to America. I am on stage and then she said something not like what she gave me. I was shocked. I looked at the guy next to me and he said ‘oh my gosh’.”
“She is a gray-haired elderly lady, and I did not want to go up and yank her off stage,” he added. “In hindsight, I should have said something.”
Marler has responded, too. In a letter to the editor she says she is not racist. It reads, in part:
Yes, I told the joke to point out the hypocrisy and just how far we had come, how ridiculous we had become, in the name of “political correctness.” And as I told your reporter when I called him — he did not call me — that he should not read anything into it that wasn’t there. And I never mentioned “welfare abuse.” What I did tell him was “that I have no racist bone in my body, and that those fighting for our freedoms — black, white, red, yellow or purple — all bleed red.” But, if you want to talk about “abuse,” there is plenty to go around — the biggest being our government that is trampling on our Constitution, chipping away at our freedom and liberty and sabotaging our children’s future.
“In her heart, she is a good lady but she said something stupid,” Caster told HuffPo. “If I said that, I would leave the movement. We are good people.”
He later concluded: “It dawned on me that this little old lady got on stage and said a two-bit, retarded joke that she should not have said and it was all over,” Caster said. “It’s funny how a little old lady can cause a huge stir, and people with real power and nothing happens.”
As for the origin of the joke, Marler reportedly got it off the internet.

Im curious if you have the same ‘embarrasment” when you watch comedy movies or shows? have you ever laughed/told at a fat joke..blonde joke…or any joke that didnt start with ‘knock knock’? Seems to me that black people make an entire industry of telling racially charged jokes about white folks, but when we do it, even if it has a strong element of truth to it, not only do they get mad, but scardeycrakas like yourself are very quick to throw them under the bus, then drive that buss too. congrats mate, you make al sharpton and all the racist racebaiters very proud cause they know that all they have to do is cry racism and youll bend over and spread yer butttcheex to placate them. you are so anxious to proove to the liberal media that hate you, that you are not racist, that you are far more ‘racist’ than this lady. i am disappointed that the tea party sold her out. we need patriotic fighters not fairweather friends.

Posted on June 16, 2012 at 10:50pmOh what a joke your statement is, proliance. I will say that this joke should not have been told in the setting that she did, however, the sad thing about the whole thing is that what the joke said is the truth for a large number of blacks, however there are at least that many whites that are sucking the money out of this country. I would say that joke (with a little change to show that whites are just a lazy and greedy as the blacks are) and it would not bother me. It would not even bother me if people called me rascist (which would be hilarious) because I know that I am not racist and I also know that people that call me that are either racist, white haters, white apologists or someone that is so weak minded that if they hear someone tell a joke like that, they laugh their tails off and then go around screaming with their liberal friends about how “all those racists are telling those racist jokes”. Proliance perhaps you should either come out and admit that you are one of those liberal wackos, or that you are one of those weak minded, weak hearted and cowards that will agree with whoever they are with because they are afraid that the other people will disagree with them.

EVERYONE stereotypes to some degree no matter how many “black friends” (et.all) they say they have. You make NO decisions in life without prejudging first. Be fair, however. My favorite Drill Seargent said it best concerning this (He was a black American thus self titled after he had travelled to Africa and seen how black Americans were looked down upon), he says, “I ain’t prejudiced I hate everybody”.
WE have full BS and hypocrisy filters from the likes of you and you buddies with the “rainbow coalition”. The double standard creates schizophrenia. You may want to check yourself…and your other self.

Posted on June 17, 2012 at 2:59pmRacists? Plenty of all colors to go around. If I referred to myself and mine as a *******, I sure wouldn’t get all uptight about someone, even of a different political power group called me or us that. It is the hypocrisy and the power pushing of it. Power is the opponent of peace. MLK‘s dream message wasn’t about power or the Civil Rights movement would not have happened. His dream was co-opted by power movement and thereby hangs the tale.
I do admire my own race best–this is normal, but I also allow the other person the same right and respect to do so to their’s. I give credit where credit is due and admire the positives of all people not for their race but in spite of it–maybe for their race and culture when it proves superior to my own?
Will Rogers never met a man he did not like. Neither would we if we allowed each other to know each other without the assumptions and demonetizations and pre-judgements that hinder us IMO.
Also the lady was rather naive. The democrats can use it to cast aspersions on all white immigrants? Only if we let them or let the media hyping mind manipulating us. This is a critical election. One determining the course and direction of our country. Look deeper than the points that political reactionaries toss at you and commune with your inner soul.
Will we pass the test? We get the president we collectively deserve in any case. Wish I could do the choosing–I have no doubts.

You would need the actual numbers of each race and their proportion to the whole if you want a real picture. This was caused by failed policy leaving a greater number of and percentage of black Americans without work being foreclosed upon and in need of charity. We believe it should come from citizens not wasted through through the government where most of the resources pays out employment on sweetheart government jobs in unions or wasted on those not Constitutionally our country’s responsibility found here because of not having secure borders. Try going into any third world country in North or South America without ID and a passport or visa and see how free and protected by our rights you would be. Far too much is abused and taken for granted with our rights including anyone who mooches off the government and they truly are capable and employable but just don’t feel like working because it is easier to sit at home and recive a check for just a little than the dollar amount they would make after taxes.

You have to be hateful to be racist. Racist = race based. Racist thought race based thought.
Look at the racist black comedians like Chris Rock etc. Their opinion and thought on race and culture are racist and those same opinion and thought are echoed by other racist/race based like Al Sharpton and the media. These people are not necessarily hateful they definitely racist.
Just as racist to say and blame any race group on a problem. Lets say like they(the left) to blame whitey for racism and slavery. It wasn’t white people it was hateful evil MEN/or people. You can not blame a whole race of people.

A joke can be “racial” if it makes you laugh over anything having to do with race. It’s funny joking that blacks like Kool-aid, mexicans eat beans, whites can’t jump, and Jews love money. That doesn’t make it bad, and it doesn’t require anyone step down from a position. Just thicken up your skin, laugh, and it’ll all be okay.
“Racism” is about ignorant people negatively judging an entire subset of humanity based on color, culture, or place or origin. It‘s just silly stereotyping out of stupidity that’s intended to divide us all. It’s not funny, it doesn’t make anyone laugh, and it perpetuates hatred.

If the people who actually pull the wagon (pay the taxes) object to our pockets getting picked by the government and the organizations (like SEIU, AFSCME, teachers, firefighters, all now just union thugs enforcing their power) go to the streets to proclaim us racist-bigot-homophobe. Now, 1 out of 3 welfare recipients are in my California. This is the real punchline. The amount of our taxes going to welfare (also to illegal aliens and their anchor babies) has become the largest expenditure, and it is almost never cut back. Instead, they will cut back by not hiring police, maintaining infrastructure, etc, and fool the people into expanding their power and raising taxes. California public officials now owe more allegiance to Mexico and “La Raza” than to American citizens. Now that the gravy train is off the rails, the whole Ponzi scheme of liberal tax-and-spend has led to the collapse of the once great California economy. Point is, the Left (now the whole of my once Democratic party) is super racist and accuses Tea Party Patriots and Conservatives of being full of hate like them.

Posted on June 16, 2012 at 8:15pmThis is going to cause a firestorm for sure. One person makes an off-color comment and now we will all suffer more ridicule and charges of racism for disagreeing with socialist policies and this president while anything controversial the other side says will be disregarded.

Posted on June 16, 2012 at 8:14pmWhile the joke certainly has some ironic truth to it, EVERY tea party member needs to know that the left is gunning to portray them as racist, xenophobic bigots.
So speak with caution on matters of race; if it can be misconstrued, it will be.

Posted on June 17, 2012 at 1:17am@MrButcher You are right. The same point could have been made with out interjecting race at all. There no point to have the character black or for that matter group the outraged/anger people as white(which is racist also).
She shouldn’t have touched that joke with a ten foot pole.

Posted on June 16, 2012 at 8:28pmHow come every time the TeaParty and conservatives are criticized as racist, there’s vociferous anger at being called that. But every single conservative site’s comments, like this site, are extremely, hardcore racist?

These racist don’t speak for all of us. This site didn’t used to be like this. Some times its so sickening to me, so much that I can’t bare to read ignorant and/or hate filled comments.
I am as about a bible thumping conservative/libertarian as you can get and yet I’m black and many other ethnic groups rolled into one.
Most of these racist start pouring in after all that Trayvon and Zimmerman junk started.
These people don’t get it. You don’t group people and their thought by color or race. You group people by their thought and their action.
I can easily going around say that all white people do sit around on welfare and food stamps and they are stealing from the rest of “us”.
The point is who and what is the “us”.
Here are some stats on welfare White 38.8%
Black 39.8
Hispanic 15.7
Asian 2.4
other 3.3
and some on Food stamps White 35.7
Black 22.
Hispanic 10.
Native American 3.7
Asian 2.4
Unknown 18.9
These stats were from 2010.

Posted on June 17, 2012 at 9:19am@svan71 I know this, what is your point? and what does NFL and NBA or even commercials have to do with anything?
Maybe commercials over represent any all ethnic groups but how or why would that bother you?
Sports are about skills and stats not race. What are you trying to get at?

***************************
Your “statistics” show the demographics of the total food stamp recipients, NOT the percentage of whites on food stamps.
Whites are about 60% of the population, yet only represent 1/3 of the stamp recipients.
Blacks are about 12 % of the population, 1/5 of the white, yet absorb more food stamps than whites; a FIVE TO ONE RATIO of dependency, in spite of 50 years of affirmative action and reverse discrimination.
Go peddle your crap on HuffPo or Ebony.

Posted on June 17, 2012 at 4:38pm@Altair I don’t know what point is. I know those facts. I’ve never seen/read a HuffPo or Ebony web page or article before. Why should I go there? You have some type of recommendation for bigots?
Just because a majority does something does not equal the whole. To calm that black(or white) people are _____ is racist. It doesn‘t matter unless you’re racist.
It not black people who are the problem. It is moochers and takers and they do not have a race.
You can take you race based/racist opinion to the klan or the black panthers.
