Ann Coulter’s Mugged: A (Mostly) Frank Monologue About Race — Part 1
Ann Coulter’s new book challenging America’s propensity for historical scab-picking and twisted, counterproductive race-based social policy is called Mugged: Racial Demagoguery From the Seventies to Obama.
It isn’t the first book of its kind, of course.
We’ve had Larry Elder’s Stupid Black Men and any number of worthy tomes by Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Joseph C. Phillips, and John McWhorter, all bravely pointing their lances at the nation’s highly lucrative (and deadly) Liberal-Racial Complex.
However, unlike all those writers, Coulter is a white woman — which is evidently all it takes to make Whoopi Goldberg swear at Coulter on television.
(I can’t imagine Goldberg reacting the same way to a black male author, conservative or otherwise. Your mileage may vary.)
I couldn’t help but think back to Goldberg’s long-ago, star-making turn on Broadway, portraying (among other characters) a little black girl who wishes she was white, showing off her “long luxurious blonde hair” – in fact, a white shirt she’s bobbypinned to her head.
I don’t know who installed Goldberg’s buttons, but Coulter’s very existence sure does push ‘em.
She has that effect on people. I’ve seen it up close.
Ann Coulter does push liberal buttons – thank God. Ann is one conservative who is not going to take the “white guilt” trip that liberals and blacks have been using to silence white people for decades. There is just as much hatred and racism among black and Hispanic Americans as there is among white Americans. It’s time that white people told the truth about the failure of black and Hispanic Americans to thrive in the USA. Their failure is mostly due to their culture, which does not emphasize education, than it is to white racism.
There is just as much hatred and racism among black and Hispanic Americans as there is among white Americans.
Really? Is that based on a percentage or sheer volume? I’m guessing you mean on a percentage basis, and if so, I would dispute that, given that blacks vote 90% Democrat. Moreover, in Obama’s case, I would surmise there were more blacks & Hispanics who voted for Obama simply and only because he is black than there were whites who voted against him for the same reason. The people I know who voted against him did so for ideological reasons.
True, the blacks got a complete pass from everyone for voting racially in 2008, and will get another pass as they overwhelmingly pull the suicidal “O” lever again next month. Pity that only whites can be pummeled for racial voting, given that the blacks may succeed in foisting “reparations” (in the form of four more years of Obama) on us again.
Coulter serves as an exellent reminder that no one from the NE can be trusted, at all, on anything. The incidence of “racism” is the same for every healthy racial group — almost 100%, as preference for one’s own family, tribe, ethnicity, landsmen, compatriots, or nation is natural animal (not just human) behavior. The Enlightenment must be the most catastrophic philosophy in all human history. Normal, natural, healthy human societies have always and everywhere operated on one basis — f*ck ‘em; they aren’t our people. Although it can’t be proved that no group of Homo sapiens have ever behaved differently, this fact would be further demonstration that failure to do so would have resulted in near-instantaneous disappearance, as such freaks-of-nature were replaced by groups that constantly moved to destroy ‘other’ groups (i.e., any not genetically related).
Groupings can, and do, change over time. Ever hear of hybrid vigor?
My ethnic background is strictly British Isles- and I married a women who is mostly of Bohemian Catholic ancestors- doesn’t happen very often in Europe.
And my Scottish-Prebsyterian grand-father by ancestry married an Irish Catholic- doesn’t happen very often in the British Isles.
The United States has, for the most part, given up tibal and ethnic identity. The biggest problem with the Indian tribes is- they willfully cling to their identity. Therfore, they’re left behind.
An interesting theory as to the rise of nation-states in Europe as opposed to city-states and baronies- teh Church at one point declared that no one closer then 6th cousin could get married, and geneologies were kept. Had to travel quite a ways to find a mate, and now, blood relatives, instead of all being within a days walking distance, might be a day or two away by horse. Forced mixing of tribes and clans by that edict.
The U.S., as an experiment, is the first nation based on and idea embodies in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Anyone can strive to be an American, and can be. There are Koreans in Japan, whose families have been there for multiple generations, who have never seen Korea, who are not Japanese because they’re Korean. Try someday to become a Chinese citizen. I’m not sure what the roadblocks are- but they are there. And forget becoming Qatari without religious conversion, and I’m not even sure it’s possible then.
But, come to America, live here long enough, fill out the forms, make the application, swear the oath, and VOILA! You are now an American.
I’m willing to have a neighbor of any color or race, and most religions, as long as they exhibit middle classedness. Keep the lawn trim, the house neat, the kids well behaved, and don’t sacrifice animals or have sex in the front yard.
Coulter is beside the point, although she hits many raw nerves, and stirs up the base. For that, she is a force to be reckoned with.
More importantly, exposing – mostly through ridicule, facts be damned – the bugaboo race card has to be at the forefront. In other words, tell the left – take that guilt trip, and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. Is THAT clear enough?
Few will contend that owning slaves is moral, but the left never mentions that Muslim countries still do!! At the same time, why in heavens name is this relevant in today’s America, particularly since the U.S. already showed their non-racial bias, having accepted Rice, Powell and other Black leaders at the highest echelons of gov’t?
Moreover, how many years must the public pay ransom, in order to equal the playing field? To be sure, affirmative action is just another form of racism, but against whites!
And, don’t get me started on what this means for Jewish & Asian students, the most successful students of all, yet having to jump through hoops nonetheless to ‘prove’ themselves.
There is NO doubt, that ‘The One’ would not be POTUS, if not for the fact that too many whites guilt tripped themselves into voting for him – http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/08/24/when-radical-politics-trumps-national-security-what-can-go-wrong-everything-addendum-toamericans-hope-to-change-the-occupant-of-the-white-house-an-anti-american-potus-runs-an-un-american-cam/
In effect, in deference, and in coinage paid, to shore up ones post-racial bonafides, the most anti-American leader in U.S. history was elected POTUS.
Insanity. Yet, the left plied its wares to a highly susceptible public.And, that is the biggest tragedy of all.
I’m not really certain from what great height you’re looking at the US from. From a distance, not only Canada but the entirety of the West is wrapped up in racial PC from Australia to Belgium to Manchester, England. I’ve read about a town in Canada held hostage to some tribe angry about something which put up roadblocks.
London and France have no-go zones where they cannot even exert their own local sovereignty, similar to Dearborn, Mich. here. In most cases, this is from importing large populations from failed Third World nations who simply cannot compete in the West. If they could, they wouldn’t have left their own countries in the first place, as they’d be lovely enclaves of productivity, law and rights.
The problem is that, among these populations, there are activists who are infected with this blithe racial/Marxist Critical Pedagogy who make lucrative careers agitating and white politicians who make alliances and pander to them to further their own careers.
What’s the answer to this? There is no answer. This is the world we live in and you can’t make a move without being called an Islamophobe or fitted with a white hood. There is no sign of a single country in the West stopping immigration or dealing with illegal immigration. The result is a vast cultural suicide club based on historic guilt which liberals call justice.
Unless you think the children of Somalis and Mayans will carry on in some mysterious way they never have in history and put the next Rovers on Mars, the West is in deep doo doo.
I think ‘they’ want to slap us because, in all the world, if you actually look, the US, the nation that regularly flagellates itself over it’s racial failings, is the place where the races are actually the most integrated and most nearly equal before the law.
In answer to “Fail Burton,” of course there is an answer, it is just one that few people want to honestly address. It is the same answer every frightened community or state has provided when threatened with physical oblivion. when only one side presumes it has the authority of force and not of morality, it may be surprised at the viciousness of the response when it pushes just that bit too far. And it should be borne in mind, our Constitution, so frequently used as a boot wipe now, is not a suicide pact and certaqinly can be reinvigorated. Abraham Lincoln proved that.

Fail Burton mentions the town that Indians held hostage with roadblocks, that’s Caledonia Ontario close to where I live. It happened in May, 2006. The roadblocks only lasted a few months but the wankers are STILL THERE, still holding the town hostage with threats that they’ll get all mad and put the roadblocks up again if we don’t do XYZ this week.
What its really about is casino gambling. Certain organized crime people who happen to be Indians want to put up a casino next to the main highway, so they can become insanely rich. No luck for them so far, but its only been six years so they may yet get what they want.
Its in miniature the same thing Coulter is talking about in her book. When the authorities refuse to hold members of a visible “Special Pet” group to the same standard as the majority, you can be sure of two things. One is that the Special Pet group is going to suffer horribly, and the other is that the main goal is -money-.
As Kathy and Anne Coulter both point out (and have been forever it seems), race hucksterism is not about race. Its about money. Certain politicians and certain businesses, like lawyers, glean truly astounding amounts of money off this “racial strife” issue. These are the same scumbags making money off Quebec separatism and for that matter Scottish separatism.
You want to know what’s really going on, you follow the money. Nobody gives a sh1t about Trayvon Martin, they just want to sell a million hoodies with his cute little eight year old face on them for $69.95 each (plus shipping and handling!)
A little off topic, but not off author. I see you removed the disgusting pornographic audio you posted on your website the other day. I wonder why? It was umm so tasteful. Adios.
No idea what you’re talking about, but wish I did — it sounds HAWT!!!
WE ARE STRIVING TO ENGAGE IN A “DIALOGUE” OR “CONVERSATION” HERE IN AMERICA: My modest suggestion about why that is CRITICAL TO OUR VERY SURVIVAL:
“FELLOW AMERICANS OF ALL RACES, CREEDS, AND COLORS…CAN WE TALK?”
You may think this a one-sided conversation,
But things are changing so FAST in our nation
And I now “hear you” through your acts and speech
Perhaps as well or better than if each
Of you were sitting with me now,
Striving to be as “friendly” as emotions might allow.
(So deep those feelings run! But we can STILL TALK.)
To start, might we agree upon “ONE THING”
And that is, in America we may sing
A song of life and love and hope unique
From all other flesh that we may see or seek.
Differences in our births or the trials of our lives
Cannot negate a truth which enemies would disguise.
We are, at least, “Fellow Americans”.
(We share a RIGHT TO TALK.)
Of all the times and lands who’ve gone before,
There are FEW, IF ANY who have been given more!
We, thus, are offspring of generations
Whose labors/sufferings created this great nation.
If you cannot admit you are such “heir”
Then I retract my outstretched hand and honest prayer—
(For we cannot talk. Pray God Forbid Such Failure!)
But if honor compels us to concede WE SHARE A DEBT,
Then you and I can hold “discussion” yet,
And seek to find SOME OTHER THING to share,
If honoring each other’s view is something that we dare.
I will admit, I don’t possess superior heart or reason,
To find it easy to offer any “Olive Leaf” this season.
(I have never seen such turmoil—but, BETTER reason for TALK.)
I strive to dig DEEP within my meager soul,
To hold back fear and bitterness and to CONTROL
That savage anger which now so threatens my life
That, if given free rein, might begin such sorry strife—
The likes of which were only seen before,
When forefathers created and kept opened freedom’s door.
Is this “ONE MORE THING” we can share?
(Self-Control allows us to “talk”–I COVENANT MY SELF CONTROL!)
In nations far away which have labored less,
We see conspiring “leaders” who possess
Only the arts of fraud, and jealousy, and strife—
They do not shrink to demand we give our life
Either as vassals of their own vengeful plans
Or victims, and “sacrifices” to their commands.
(Will we submit to a DENIAL OF OUR RIGHT TO “TALK”?)
IF WE HAVE “COMMON ORIGINS”, then the sound
Of despots and warlords which are now heard all around
Should COMPEL US to join JUST AS OUR FOREBEARS did
To push aside the differences by which they lived,
AND SEEK, AT LEAST, THE FREEDOM TO DECIDE
HOW WE, AS AMERICANS, SHOULD LIVE OR DIE!
(That, fellow Americans is COMPELLING reason to talk! )
CAN WE TALK–ALL OF US; ALL COLORS, CREEDS, RACES–CAN WE TALK AS AMERICANS?
Poet’s Notes:
BEFORE, JUST NOW, WE HAD A “DISAGREEMENT” AMONG OURSELVES AS TO “PRIORITIES”, “GOALS”, and “WAYS AND MEANS”. For example, Michelle declared, in all soberness: “The greatest threat to our national security is obesity”. This statement defies reason when we have “barbarians at the gates”. BUT, it is “discussion” that we as fellow Americans can engage in and resolve AT THE BALLOT BOX AND THROUGH ELECTED LEADERS.
NOW, YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW, OBAMA DECLARES: “YOU, AMERICANS, CANNOT EXERCISE FREE SPEECH; YOU CANNOT SAY ANYTHING WHICH IS DEEMED, CONSIDERED, FOUND, OR BELIEVED BY ISLAM AS BEING CRITICAL, OFFENSIVE, OR DISRESPECTFUL—and if you do, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR “FUTURE”—could he have plainer?
This is no longer an election about a Black [or 1/2 or 1/4 or whatever Black] and a white plurality–THIS IS AN ELECTION ABOUT WHETHER WE ARE AMERICANS WHO SHARE COMMON FREEDOMS WORTH PRESERVING. Let’s talk about this issue–our lives and our children’s lives depend on it.
I adore Ann Coulter. She has a set of brass balls that I envy!
You know what sickened me recently?
She was on C-span’s Washington Journal a few days ago promoting her new book (I watch that show religiously every 4am Pacific time)…And, get this…
Some scuzzball called in and said she had had an abortion. It’s the old, “Do you still beat your wife?” bull caca the left always resort to when they have NO EFFING POINT. Anyway, she laughed it off and said she’d never had one but GOOD GOD…people on the left are so SICK and EVIL it just boggles the mind how low they will sink to try and defame someone.
I plan on buying Ann’s book next month and I’m sure it will be scathing of the moonbats.
That’s odd, considering they insist she is a man…..
“A Conservative is a Liberal who’s been mugged.”
Lara Logan is a perfect example; And in her case, she’s been tortured and raped just for good measure.
Indeed, CG.
Yuri Gagarin was unavailable for comment.
Good point, although the X-program arguably went into space.
Kathy – I love the same brutally honest comedians! An hour or so ago the Opie and Anthony show did a break on the racist attacks going on against Stacey Dash – the black actress who declared her support for Romney. They played this clip from Ann Coulter (who was on their show a few days ago);
http://video.foxnews.com/v/1889077209001/ann-coulter-on-twitter-attacks-on-stacey-dash-there-is-no-one-braver-than-a-black-conservative/?playlist_id=161697
Bought the book, read it in a day, then went slightly nuts and bought several of the books Ann quoted in hers. In her hysterically funny, abrasive manner Coulter demolished several decades of liberal foolishness. Canadians are often bewildered by the never-ending self flagellation of 150 years ago and the consequential spendathon to right those presumed wrongs. I would suggest that a quarter of a million lives lost by white people to destroy slavery as more than adequate payment for that situation. Good article Kathy
Yeah, they always seem to forget that part, don’t they?
Looking forward to reading this one.
Which is worse about liberals, their smug superiority or the actual effect of their brain-dead policies? For blacks, it’s undoubtedly the latter, for the rest of us, it’s almost a tossup. I think what I resent most, however, is how they’ve taken over education and poisoned my kids’ minds. A word to the wise: Don’t assume you can easily undo what the unionized/politicized ed system inculcates in your offspring. Even if your kids are basically sensible and well-brought-up, the damage can be huge.
Anyone know how much Al Sharpton makes per year, btw? Race-huckstering is mighty lucrative, I’m thinking. It’d be great to see a photo of Al in his pimpmobile.
Clue – he pays for everything – and I mean EVERYTHING in cash. He’s been convicted for both fraud and tax evasion and has never spent a single day in jail.
Well, I don’t blame you for wanting to slap us, burt a country that advertises tours to Cuba has some work to do at home.
Obama’s doing his part to get us past our tribulations:
“You didn’t know this, but for all you moms and kids out there, you should have confidence that finally somebody is cracking down on Big Bird,” Obama said, alluding to the famous O.J. Simpson chase scene. “Elmo has been seen in a white Suburban. He’s driving for the border.”
The really frightening story, one that only Coulter has the integrity to pursue, is the Central Park Jogger false-acquittals. You won’t find a law professor or journalist in the country who doesn’t now believe that the CP5 were wrongly convicted, and a cottage industry has sprung up in public television and in the legal activist world to tout this lie.
Sadly, the people who could make noise and make sure the public isn’t uninformed have themselves curled up into the fetal position. And libertarians and many “right on crime” conservatives are just as willfully snookered. Coulter, alone, has the nerve to say what even the prosecutors are now cowed into not saying: those convictions should not have been overturned. They did what they said they did, and no later revelation of DNA from one sickening predator undermines the story that the young thugs told — that the helped an older, sickening predator abuse the unconscious woman but didn’t themselves leave DNA at the scene.
Several of the Innocence Project’s most-touted cases fall into this wheelhouse.
The putdown of white America vis-a-vis its guilt fueled groveling to blacks only holds for liberal whites. The rest of us have no feelings of guilt, quite the contrary, we are fed up with the immense burden blacks impose on us and do everything possible to avoid them. They are a financial burden and a physical threat. We have no illusions about the use of “a conversation” with blacks. It would be futile. There is only one solution: separation. But first the whole immense corrupt structure of government funded and enforced black parasitism will have to end. That will come with financial collapse. Something else will emerge out of the rubble and it won’t be an America in any mood to humor liberal guilt.
Ricpic, there is no need for racial separation. Just enforce one standard of Western civilization on all people in our country on a color-blind basis. Same law for everyone. I’m glad Stacey Dash supports the same presidential candidate that I do, but I’d still welcome her to my neighborhood if she showed equal grace and class in her support for the other guy.
Eventually the permanent government dependence will end. We can’t afford it. My hope is that adults in congress continue down the welfare to work path that they tried to establish in the 90s.
