she was making fun of the moderator for mixing up black people.
It wasn't racist, it was racial.

And if, everything being the same, a white conservative said this, do you truly believe it would be seen as a joke?

Oh hell no. Every Democrat and media outlet in existence would be calling for a resignation if was anyone other than a Democrat that uttered those words.

Exactly. I just get a kick out of watching them excuse this.
All I'm looking for is consistency and so far it's nonexistent.

So you think it's a dumb question and that's fine. It boils down to a double standard not an "I got ya moment."
Just because you desire to excuse actual racism as a joke doesn't actually make it a joke, or any less offensive, regardless of why she said it.
What is telling is how easily and quickly she gets excused for her open humor at being racist and those championing her cause.
Thanks for your reply!

So you're honestly going to say a white conservative saying this would be ignored?
Really??
Honestly??
