Sounds like a great idea! Real conservatives kicking McLame in the groin where it hurts him most, voting for Hillary!

Maybe you should be the one to “move on”. Ann is pretty much loved here on FR. (except for a few kooks)

Sorry, FRiend. Ann does nothing for me. Does that make me a "kook?" :o)

Perhaps the time has come to just say no more. The only reason this nation is still in turmoil over race is because some keep the pot boiling.

When minorities from other nations can come to this country and through their hard work and acceptance of American values make it, the question needs to be ask, why can not native born minorities make it?

If this nation was racist, why is one of the richest woman in this country black (Oparh)?

If this nation was racist, why do our young people try to emulate the culture of the ghettos (hip hop, rap, and everything that goes with it)?

If this nation was racist, why are many of our top military people black?

There are countries within this world that really know what racism is. Try being an outsider in Japan (assuming you could even emigrate). Look at the caste system in India where it is almost impossible for someone born within one caste to move out of it.

There are very few nations in this world like the United States where if you work hard you can succeed.

I will concede there may be isolated, individual acts of racism within this nation, but it is not state sanctioned, it is not the law, nor is it the custom.

If we were to be really honest with ourselves we would ask the one question that never gets asked. Are blacks better off today then they were before the civil right movement?

Before the 1960 there was a large black middle class society within this nation. If the civil rights movement would have stopped with making it illegal for any government agency to descriminate, we all would be better off today. Instead we got the "Great Society", and affirmative action, and a whole host of laws that can do nothing but create resentment from one side towards the other.

Blacks have opportunities today they did not have before but many have choosen not to make use of those opportunities. Their failure is not because of white racism, but a choice they or someone in their life made.

Men impregnating girls then abandoning them.

Declaring getting an education, or speaking correct english as beng an "uncle tom" and putting peer presure on others not to try.

Using drugs.

And the list goes on.These problems are not caused by racism, but by decisions made by individuals.

I am with Ann on this, it is time that individuals take responsibility for their action and not blame other for their misfortune.

"A lot of African-Americans who were around before 1965 still rankle about living in a country where segregation existed."

Tell them to get over it.

I was denied a few job opportunities because of the color of my skin back in the 1970s.

That is so despite the fact that I grew up in neighborhoods where I was the minority. I don't care if anyone believes that to be so or not.

I simply think that this business of accusing all white folks of being racist is simply a tactic of left wing radicals who are patently dishonest about the nature of this country as things currently stand.

If so many black churches are spewing this racism as I have seen told by Professor blacks on news shows in the name of religion, then we need to look at why their teens are into drugs, alcohol and gangs. Where hatred is modeled, then its no wonder the streets are full of rage under those cicumstances. This should be an eyeopener for Americans.

I'm glad you said that. I've been thinking about that very thing ever since this whole Wright thing started. I used to think that all those kids needed was Christ in their lives and they would straighten up, but after hearing Wright and about the other black pastors who preach the same thing, I realized that many of them may very well have picked up their hatred right in the church. Those churches are holding their youth back by telling them they are never going to have anything in America because of the "rich white KKKAmericans." I think they have hurt those kids more than they've ever helped them.

people have to stop treating race pimps like children and confront them instead with their own racism.

That is whats taking place here, unfortunately, we had to wait for the PIAPS to do it.

just because

Good point. There have been a lot of past injustices but they remain in the past. Being angry and bitter towards white people on account of what historically happened to black people is giving them the power to run your life. You should run your life on your own terms and stop caring what other people think about you. When black Americans start being happy with who they are, they will gain the respect of other people. That is what comes with being an equal. Being victims of Da Man will never give them what they're seeking.

Brilliant stuff from Ann Coulter. Just when you think she’s too crazy to take seriously, she hits another home run.
