Ann Coulter Defends Provocative Comments About Civil Rights Only for Blacks on ABC 'This Week' [VIDEO]
Conservative writer Ann Coulter appeared on ABC "This Week" to talk about a provocative comment that she made in her new book "Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama."
ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked Coulter if she could explain her comments that "various groups, feminist, gay rights groups, those defending immigrants, have commandeered the black civil rights experience."
"Yes!," she replied. "I'm glad you ask that. I think is one of the most important points of the book."
"We don't owe the homeless. We don't owe feminists. We don't owe women who are desirous of having abortions, or gays who want to get married to one another. That's what civil rights have become," Coulter said.
"Immigrant rights are not civil rights?" Stephanopoulos asked her.
"No, I think civil rights are for blacks...We owe black people something, we have legacy of slavery. Immigrants haven't even been in this country."
Coulter's new book "isn't a story about black people-it's a story about the Left's agenda to patronize blacks and lie to everyone else," a description of the book reads.
"For decades, the Left has been putting on a play with themselves as heroes in an ongoing civil rights movement-which they were mostly absent from at the time. Long after pervasive racial discrimination ended, they kept pretending America was being run by the Klan and that liberals were black America's only protectors," the description continues.
The book claims that President Barack Obama has brought racial unrest back.
