Ann Explains Why Race Relations Aren't Good

    On Friday, July 24, 2015, Ann joined Stuart Varney to talk about how race relations are worse under Obama's presidency.

    If you do not have time to watch the almost 6 minutes, here is what they talked about:

Minute 0: A New York Times and CBS poll says the majority of Americans think race relations are bad under Obama.
Minutes 0-1: The left's babying of black Americans caused these problems, but things started getting better after the OJ Simpson verdict because white people saw how blacks celebrated the verdict.
Minutes 1-2: Obama brought the problem back by ginning up dislike between races.
Minute 3: America was biracial for most of its history (and racism was bad), but liberals think bringing in more diversity will make racism go away.
Minute 4: America is not a racist country, but immigration is bringing in more racism.
Minutes 4-5: People like Muhammad Youssuf* Abdulazeez should be happy simply to live here.
Minute 5: Sharknado 3. Close.

Ann's New Column Is Out: There's a Reason We Mostly Hear about White 'Micro–Aggressions'

    Ann released a new column about the media's obsession with white-on-black violence, in spite of it being so rare.

    Here are some quotes on white-on-black violence and the Charleston shooting:

"In a country of more than 300 million people, everything will happen eventually. That doesn't make it a trend."
"...columnist Brit Bennett recently complained in The New York Times that "white violence is unspoken and unacknowledged" by the media.

Yes, I barely heard a thing about... Tawana Brawley (hoax), the Duke lacrosse gang rape (hoax), Trayvon Martin (self-defense), Ferguson (hoax) and Eric Garner (justified police arrest)...

The media will pounce on any suspicion of a white-on-black crime, spend a year being hysterical about it, and, if it turns out to be a false alarm, refuse to apologize, before quickly moving on to the next hoax."
"The Charleston attack was a hideous, sickening crime. But that's why we should thank our lucky stars that it was so unusual. White-on-black violence is freakishly rare everywhere in America, except liberal imaginations."


    In the second quote, Ann was most likely referring to this article where Brit Bennet wrote:
"I understand the comfort of this silence. If white violence is unspoken and unacknowledged, if white terrorists are either saints or demons, we don’t have to grapple with the much more complicated reality of racial violence."
