Cliven Bundy Is Still At It There s A Sense Of Slavery For Blacks On Welfare
Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy said in a recent interview with The Guardian that there is a "sense of slavery" in the welfare system, echoing comments he made last year about blacks being "better off as slaves" than on government assistance.
"They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton," Bundy said of "the Negro" in April 2014. "And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy?"
Those comments led the Fox News talking heads and Republican congressional heavyweights who'd supported Bundy in his campaign against the federal Bureau of Land Management to abandon him en masse. But in an article published Monday, the rancher told The Guardian that those comments were a "mistake."
Then he then posed virtually the same question about government assistance as modern-day slavery.
