Great thread. I knew that old Bundy meant well and that he wasn't being hateful. He was simply asking if blacks today are better of than they were when they're families were together as a unit and they lived a simpler life. I don't believe he was endorsing the slavery of the past but he was comparing past slavery to modern slavery and asking himself which slavery would be the better of the two if someone had to choose.
Unfortunately, blacks aren't the only modern slaves. Many whites and Hispanics are as well. Anyone who has grown accustomed to government handouts and so needy that they've lost interest in taking care of themselves is a slave. Americans are losing hope and growing fearful and they've come to believe that the government is their savior. The fact of the matter is that the government is gaining power over the collective heart, mind, and soul of America and it's systematically building a cage around us. I, for one, don't like the idea of being caged and I choose not to be a slave. I'll grow my own food before I take a g-d damned dime from "Big Brother."
Do you people get paid to write this stuff? "Which slavery would people rather choose?"
We chose, as a nation - black, white, brown, yellow, red, purple, green, silver, and gold people alike - nearly 160 years ago with a horrific Civil War. We chose again with the Civil Rights Act after years of state-sanctioned brutality. We keep choosing to not accept slavery. Guess who is fighting us on it?
