Ann Coulter
I've always believed that she mostly made some of her insane comments for the shock value that helps her gain notoriety from outlets like Fox News. Still, one particular comment, with respect to Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain (one of her blacks),is one that makes me shake my head. Cain has gained an increasing level of popularity among Republicans ... mostly due to pressure that has been created by their treatment of President Obama and other black politicians during the last 30 or so years.
That makes it all the more interesting to see right wingers coming to the rescue of Herman Cain the way that they did(presumably another one of Coulter's blacks) Clarence Thomas, years ago.
I found this quoted on Your Black World:
"Our blacks are so much better than their blacks," Coulter went on to say, referring to the Democrats. "To become a black Republican, you don't just roll into it. You're not going with the flow...and that's why we have very impressive blacks in the Republican party."
It's a disturbing comment at best and a disgusting comment at worst. What in the world does she mean by this "our blacks" and "their blacks" comment?
Who is Coulter to make such an assessment about black people as if she is examining them like they are some kind of commodity?
She seems to rate black people like others would rate cats, cattle, lawns, houses, cars. Hidden in her apparent like for her blacks (people like Cain, Thomas, Allen West and others) is an inherent general lack of respect for black people.

I soooooo wanted to blog about this but I just had to let it slide this time. Sounds like Coulter is referring to black Republicans like the are pets or the latest accessory. That's the problem with the Republican party, they only want a certain kind of black person in their ranks; one that espouses their racist, xenophobic views and Herman Cain fits the bill. Is he done yet?
