What I don't get and what they are spinning is Phil was talking directly to his experience working in the fields.
There's no spinning.
Phil's got the luxury of time to really know what went on.
And instead of really thinking about it, he spews this crapola about "blacks being happy" under Jim Crowe.
What he miss the lynchings? The church burnings? The murders of civil rights workers?
It was a despicable comment.
You just did the spinning Sallow.
He did not say they were happy under Jim Crowe laws.
He said they were Godly people and happy to have a job to support their family.
Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.
He is saying they were better off before Government entitlements and welfare, which has broken the Black Man's responsibility to home and family. He did not refer to the Jim Crowe laws at all.
Since they lived under Jim Crowe laws, were they happy or not?
