Ann Coulter: ‘Our blacks are so much better than their blacks’

From last November but seems to fit this week, after Rmoney brought some of 'their blacks' to cheer for him at the NAACP convention.


Ann Coulter was coming to Herman Cain’s defense against allegations of sexual harassment. The attacks, she said Monday, were fomented by the liberal establishment because they “detest conservative blacks.” The allegations were “vicious, outrageous,” and akin to the charges leveled against Clarence Thomas during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

Okay, all good with that. She’s just defending her guy.

Then came these zingers from her appearance on Fox News with Sean Hannity. “Our blacks are so much better than their blacks” because “you have fought against probably your family, probably your neighbors.?.?. that’s why we have very impressive blacks.”

Whoa! Lost you there, Ann

What the hell? People give that woman money? How utterly offensive she is, and what a totally typical attitude by the far right.. that they own "their blacks."

But Rmoney had to find some who would cheer for him and bring them along?

that McLame had about 4% of the black vote vs Rmoney with 2% of black support. Even Shrub had something like 10%.

We are all people.

Yet, some must have an enemy at all times. It's easier to identify the "them" if they can be recognized on sight.

That's why I must be blessed by being queer. We can fit in anywhere, listen to the hate and report on it. And the hypocrisy.
