So because one young black man mugs a cop Zimmerman is justified in stalking and scaring another young black man until he turns around and attacks him, and then shooting him? ---

Doesn’t make her less of a stupid cunt, though. Also to be fair, she made a good point about how the liberal media unfairly stresses that the victims are unarmed. Because, as we have recently learned, no black man is unarmed when there is a sidewalk nearby. ---

Doesn’t make her less of a stupid cunt, though. No, context has nothing to do with it. Her statement was in its own paragraph to stand out and was totally inclusive of all blacks. She did not limit it to one or two individuals: > [@Ann Coulter](#): > > Perhaps, someday, **blacks** will win the right to be treated like volitional human beings. But not yet. It was not an off-the-cuff remark she could be excused for because she’s 90 and senile, like Helen Thomas was, nor does she have Paula Deen’s excuse of being a dumb cracker. This is a reasonably intelligent person who is very media savvy. She worked on the exact wording to clearly state that blacks are not to be treated like humans. Any other interpretation is a naive and hopeful reworking of the facts because many liberals find it hard to accept that some people are just evil. ---

Well, somebody else, I might have taken it as “aspirational”, a goal the speaker dearly wishes to see. I think she’s crafty enough to word it that way so she can recoil in shock and horror at how she is assumed to be a racist. You do know, right, that its liberals who are the _rea_l racists! True fact, you could look it up. ---
