From the Mind of Ann Coulter

.

One thing I admit enjoying about the whole Liberal versus Conservative phenomena is that the white folk within these two groups accuse the others of being racist but Black Introspection know that white folk from both groups are racist and to understand the racism that exist within each group we must critique what one is saying about the other. With that said lets critique some of what the toothpick Ann Coulter writes in her latest op-ed.

Ann “the toothpick” Coulter Boldly states that “Republicans don’t need Black voters”. Ann is correct and where she goes wrong is adding at the end of this statement “but they want them”. Republicans do not want the Black Vote; they would rather us not vote for the Democrats so their win over Democrats could be by a larger margin. Republicans would be just as happy with us voting for an independent candidate or any other candidate beside the Democratic candidate. The toothpick goes on to say that “Democrats don’t want the Black vote but needs it”. This is partially true. The Democrats wish they could appeal to poor racist whites the way Republicans do but they know doing so would definitely cost them the Black vote. The not so funny things about this is; while Ann Coulter admits that Republicans do not need the Black Vote, she states that as if they do not get the Black vote because they do not need it, however the truth is in order for them to not need the Black vote they must do what is necessary to not need the Black vote and that means they must appeal to racist whites and have a platform that is hostile towards Black upward mobility that will attract votes that makes it possible for them to not need the Black vote. Black folk know the Democrats platform for the most part is not our platform, but we know which of these two parties platform is more conducive with what we want. I always say, Republicans talk inclusiveness but what we need is conduciveness.

Ann Coulter then allows us a peek into her mind by stating what she think the 11th hour message of the democratic party is; The toothpick writes that the Democrats say to black folk;

“Here are your crumbs, your scraps, your measly handouts. Too bad you're so childish, incompetent and dependent, huh? Now run along and cast your vote for the guy with the "D" next to his name and we'll see you in four years, 'K? Buh-bye, now.”

This is a great example of a white person who honestly believe she knows what is best for Black men and women and have the audacity to suggest that we vote for the Democrats because we are “childish” meaning child like and unable to think for ourselves, “incompetent and dependent” One of the interesting things about such language being used to refer to Black folk is that poor whites that vote Republican for no other reason than their racist and evangelical platform are never called “childish, incompetent and dependent” though many of them live in condition similar to ours if not worse but yet they vote for the folk that support the rich while they are more likely to benefit from programs rooted in the Democrats platform.

The tooth pick goes on to use the whole “Black faces in high places” argument as if Black folk should be impressed by that, Personally I would not give a damn if Kerry did not appoint one Black person to his cabinet, as long as he does not appoint these racist ideologues to any of the various courts and work with Black organizations to better the Black condition, get rid of that not so patriotic Patriot Act, fully fund NCLB, stop patronizing us with vouchers, who gives a damn about “Black faces in high places” especially those who do not represent or speak to issues important to Black men and women.

The Toothpick goes on to speak about abortion and its racist use by the founder of Plan Parent hood. All of which I agree with but then she says:

“Even today, talk to any white liberal about abortion and within 60 seconds he will raise the black "overpopulation" problem”

This is the mantra of white liberal and white conservatives. This belief is not unique to Liberals and this is why I say when white folk are accusing one another of being racist, don’t take sides, listen to what both of them have to say because in the midst of their arguments they will point out a truth that Black Introspection and Black folk in general are already aware of, THEY BOTH ARE RACIST.

I will end by quoting the toothpick one more time, she writes:

“On the bright side, the Democrats offer black voters loads and loads of meaningless abstractions that will have absolutely no effect on their lives.”

And Democrats say the same about Republicans; are both parties lying or are both parties telling the truth? I believe there is a degree of truth in what both of them are saying and this is why believing that either party is truly in support of us is like living in a dream world and I say to Black folk that do believe it, WAKE UP!!
