MSNBC reporter Kelly O’Donnell, the whitest woman alive, was convinced that racism must run rampant at tea party events. The result is the following conversation with Darryl Postell, a black tea party protester:
O’Donnell: There aren’t a lot of African-American men at these events.
Postell: (laughing) Right.
O’Donnell: Have you ever felt uncomfortable?
Postell: No, no, these are my people, Americans.
