Yet you chose to label her as an "entertainer". Not as a scholar. Or a commentator. Or as a lawyer. But as an "entertainer". Lol, she's a one woman dog and pony show all right.

How would the US be if your people had not been here?

But take that same kid and put in in an all black neighborhood, then there's a higher risk for problems (assuming the parents don't care). It's more of a cultural thing, plagued by the histories of discrimination, gentrification, and desegregation (ironically in this case) that causes minority problems.

Otherwise, Obama and Ben Carson should never exist.
I know part of it is mentality. It isn't the only thing either.

And consider this, as for "Black neighborhood", you might want to consider this. If that Black child was adopted by Black parents who really do care, then the child wouldn't have problems. If the child lived in Cascade Heights, an affluent Black neighborhood in Atlanta,GA, that child wouldn't get into nearly as much trouble as he would living in the lower 9th ward of New Orleans, a poor Black area with alot of violence. It has to do more with the culture that exists in that neighborhood, not the race. Cascade Heights is where quite a few Black millionaires are living. I'm sure a child living there would grow up much better than in the lower 9th ward in New Orleans.

How would desegregation cause problems?

And what do you mean by Obama and Ben Carson should never exist?

For some people, it is not out of concern, and some people just "throw it back in one's face". There are some people who think like this. However, it is important to know who is doing this. The defensiveness continues because of lack of trust.

I don't know why anyone would care what this turd says. Why she newsworthy at all is just mindboggling to me. Anything she mutters or shrieks has as much importantance as the ravings of the homeless crazy guy living under a bridge does.

Not feeding feed the trolls is something millions of people need to learn. As long as people pay attention to idiots they will continue to pollute our national discourse.

Blacks are not an American problem. Racism is an American problem.

You're right Coulter isn't dumb, just the incredibly stupid people who try to white wash her statements.

Dear Ann and fellow alumnus said, "If you compare white populations we have the same murder rate as Belgium, so perhaps it's not a gun problem (wink, wink, wink). It's a demographic problem."

Now when you exclude whites in the first clause of the sentence who the frack is left?

Racism isn't the cause of the violence either. Poverty, mental health, gangs, drugs, and broken families are though.

So, find those quotes and videos. You've made the claim that she said them. Now it's up to you to prove it.

Moscow is pretty white and pretty dangerous.
Just looking at what is happening in Northern Ireland at the moment reminds me whites love to fight. If it wasnt against non-whites, it would be catholics vs protestants, or something else.
