If you are sick and tired of seeing politicians and others playing the race card, or if you are just disgusted with the grossly dishonest way racial issues in general are portrayed, then you should get a copy of Ann Coulter's new book, "Mugged." Its subtitle is: "Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama."
Few things are as rare as an honest book about race. This is one of the very few, and one of the very best.
Many people will learn for the first time from Ann Coulter's book how a drunken hoodlum and ex-convict, who tried to attack the police, was turned into a victim and a martyr by the media, simply by editing a videotape and broadcasting that edited version, over and over, across the nation.
They will learn how a jury -- which saw the whole unedited videotape and acquitted the police officers of wrongdoing -- was portrayed as racist, setting off riots that killed innocent people who had nothing to do with the Rodney King episode.
Meanwhile, the people whose slick editing set off this chain of events received a Pulitzer Prize.
Even the Republican President of the United States, George H.W. Bush, expressed surprise at the jury's verdict, after seeing the edited videotape, while the jury saw the whole unedited videotape. Even Presidents should keep their mouths shut when they don't know all the facts. Perhaps especially Presidents.
Innumerable other examples of racial events and issues that have been twisted and distorted beyond recognition are untangled and revealed for the frauds that they are in "Mugged."

The entire history of the U. S. is full of racsim. From the discovery of America through slavery through the civil war through civil rights through the murder of 2 presidents through the New Jim Crow Law currently being practiced right here in America in 2012. When people forget their history, they will repeat it. Ann C. knows nothing about the struggles of other ethnic group except her own. Now, she wants to be a victim of her own hatred.
I read her book and it is great, and I recommend this to everyone to read.
6:11-don't you get it yet? People are tired of hearing your whining. Get over it. It's not working anymore.
Without debating the merits of Rodney King, ANY citizen, except for cops and their yes-men minions, could see that there was NO "threat" posed by an UNARMED man, who, while on his hands and knees (read that again for clarity), took 72 (!!) hits from cops who took turns on him while protected by 20-30 OTHER cops who formed a circle around this spectacle so no citizens could intervene in this assault. Notice in the film the casual, relaxed (some were even laughing) attitude of those cops. A fine example of "protecting and serving". To this day, those same police CONTINUE to insist King was a DANGEROUS man. What!? Are they REALLY saying that up to 30 police were AFRAID of an unarmed drunken man? 30 against one?! In Georgia and South Carolina, it only takes FIVE cops to beat up one guy. In New York, it can take up to 7-10. I suppose its a matter of training. And intelligence. And by "intelligence", I really mean "in the absence of...."
