========================
 TR> THROW GRANDMA UNDER THE BUS
 TR> March 19, 2008

 TR> Obama gave a nice speech, except for everything he said
 TR> about race. He apparently believes we're not talking enough
 TR> about race. This is like hearing Britney Spears say we're
 TR> not talking enough about pop-tarts with substance-abuse
 TR> problems.

 IOW, Coulter thinks there are no racial problems in this country
 at all. It's a racial utopia in her mind.

 ...

 TR> How much more? I had had my fill by around 1974. How long
 TR> must we all marinate in the angry resentment of black
 TR> people?

 Yes, she had her fill back when black people had made some small
 gains. She really doesn't give a damn if black people have any
 rights at all.

 TR> As an authentic post-racial American, I will not patronize

 She is an authentic race-exploiting American.

 TR> blacks by pretending Obama's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright,
 TR> is anything other than a raving racist loon. If a white
 TR> pastor had said what Rev. Wright said -- not about black
 TR> people, but literally, the exact same things -- I think

 Isn't saying America deserved 9-11 close enough? Or did she
 leave that "exact same things" as her out?

 ...

 TR> Imagine a white pastor saying: "Racism is the American way.
 TR> Racism is how this country was founded, and how this
 TR> country is still run. ... We believe in white supremacy and
 TR> black inferiority. And believe it more than we believe in
 TR> God."

 Sounds much like what would have happened back when Coulter had
 her fill of talking about race.

 ...

 TR> Imagine a white pastor saying: "No, no, no, God damn
 TR> America -- that's in the Bible for killing innocent people!

 Easily. Only not for killing innocent people, but for tolerating
 homosexuality and other non-mainstream factors.

 ...

 TR> We treat blacks like children, constantly talking about

 Well, Coulter does.

 TR> their temper tantrums right in front of them with airy
 TR> phrases about black anger. I will not pat blacks on the
 TR> head and say, "Isn't that cute?" As a post-racial American,

 Too bad, maybe someone would slap her down and get it through to
 her.

 TR> I do not believe "the legacy of slavery" gives black people
 TR> the right to be permanently ill-mannered.

 What gives Coulter that right?

 TR> Obama tried to justify Wright's deranged rants by
 TR> explaining that "legalized discrimination" is the "reality
 TR> in which Rev. Wright and other African-Americans of his
 TR> generation grew up." He said that a "lack of economic
 TR> opportunity among black men, and the shame and frustration
 TR> that came from not being able to provide for one's family,
 TR> contributed to the erosion of black families."

 All true. What's the problem?

 ...

 TR> Wright's own account, he was 12 years old and was attending
 TR> an integrated school in Philadelphia when Brown v. Board of
 TR> Education was announced, ending "separate but equal"
 TR> schooling.

 Segregated schooling was not equal, and it did not end with
 Brown vs Board of education. It was banned, but that didn't end
 it.

 ...

 TR> So for half of Rev. Wright's 66 years, discrimination
 TR> against blacks was legal -- though he never experienced it
 TR> personally because it existed in a part of the country
 TR> where he did not live.

 Which is an indication of Coulter's state of denial.

 TR> For the second half of Wright's
 TR> life, discrimination against whites was legal throughout
 TR> the land.

 Discrimination against blacks was and is common. Against whites
 is pretty well non-existent.

 ...

 TR> racist -- Obama felt perfectly comfortable throwing his
 TR> white grandmother under the bus. He used her as the white
 TR> racist counterpart to his black racist "old uncle," Rev.
 TR> Wright.

 Does anyone here not have a relative who is, or was, racist? Not
 one?

 ...

 TR> But Wright is not a relative of Obama's at all. Yet Obama
 TR> cravenly compared Wright's racist invective to his actual
 TR> grandmother, who "once confessed her fear of black men who
 TR> passed by her on the street, and who on more than one
 TR> occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made
 TR> me cringe."

 Which would rightfully be more offensive.

 ...

 TR> same feelings about passing black men on the street that
 TR> Jesse Jackson has.

 Jackson was talking about someone behind him walking down the
 street at night, IIRC. Or was it an alley?

 ...

 TR> Fine. Can we move on now?

 Not as long as people like you don't get it.
