That's a long way from Coulter's idiotic accusation that because blacks didn't have permits in racist states that didn't even see them as citizens they could not address injustices. And it's this crap that gives conservatism a bad name.
You might be right. I’ll have to read that chapter of Coulter’s book, or listen to it on the audiobook version I downloaded the other day.
You know what, I lived in Alabama when all the marches and protests started. It was mostly outside groups stirring up trouble over staged events, and about problems that didn't exist in most cases.
Everywhere in the country the roadsides had outside BBQ tents set up and almost all of them owned and run by blacks. There would be dozens of picnic tables under the open sided tents and about an equal number of blacks and whites eating together. Everybody sat at whatever table had an open spot. Nobody cared where anyone sat and everyone got along fine.
Before all the riots and protests, nobody knew that we couldn't get along or had to eat in seperate places. It's a good thing the liberal commies came down and let us know how much we hated each other, we would have never known.
In the article, he refers to the many interviews he had with Thurgood Marshall and the frustration he had with King and his tactics.
The final paragraph from the article...
Coulter’s brand of vituperative political commentary has sometimes poisoned our political discourse over years. She and her fellow provocateurs on the far right are featured prominently in my upcoming book “Muzzled: the Assault on Honest Debate.” But even a stopped clock is right twice a day. On this one, Coulter has her history exactly right and that is why the left is screaming.
The “racist states” you speak of were all controlled by the Democrats, right. What history books teach that? What black students have been taught those facts?
The KKK were the militant arm of the Democrat party.
Bob Byrd was good example. Read some of his earlier remarks about the “negro” to use his words.
The media is what gives conservatives a bad name, and it sounds like you can’t distinguish facts from fiction.
Ann Coulter is brilliant and fearless. She has earned her stripes. How many best sellers are on your list?
