Bill Maher And Ann Coulter Clash Over Whether Poverty Or Race Explains Crime In Black Communities Bill maher: If there is more Black crime, it’s because of poverty and because Black people get arrested more, not necessarily because they’re more prone to crime. Would you not agree with that? Ann coulter: I’m not sure I understand that point. Bill maher: I’m saying it’s not inherent in their Blackness. It’s not their Blackness that causes crime. It’s poverty that causes crime. Ann coulter: I don’t know if poverty causes crime. Bill maher: Poverty doesn’t? Ann coulter: No. It’s not Blackness that causes crime, yes, correct. Bill maher: You don’t think poverty causes crime? See, I do think that, deep down, Republicans have a problem with Black people. I really do. Because during the New Orleans crisis Ann coulter: You’re the one who wants to cut down on crime. Bill maher: But during the New Orleans crisis, they were obsessed with shooting looters. Looting is a property crime, while all this death was going on. The thing that really obsessed you guys was, “Let’s shoot the people who were getting something out of RadioShack.” Ann coulter: I’m glad you mentioned New Orleans, because I think that shows the problem Democrats have with Black people. They’re constantly willing to take the votes of Black folks but then accuse them of engaging in cannibalism and raping two-year-olds in order to better attack the president. When it serves their political ends, they’ll say the most horrible, unbelievable things about Black people. They did it in the 2000 election, too, when they blamed the problem with the butterfly ballot on, “Oh, well, Black people are stupid. They couldn’t figure it out.” Democrats will say horrible things about Black people if it helps them politically, as they did with New Orleans. Bill maher: I didn’t know it was the Democrats saying those things. I thought it was the stupid media.
