Cliven Bundy Wonders If Blacks Are 'Better Off As Slaves' Than On Gov't Assistance

They just don't make Right Wing Cult Heroes like they used to. It's a cotton picking shame!

No one these days uses the word Negro to describe African Americans.

Danno if your only social connection to Black people these days is YouTube then I guess that explains everything.

So, if it's on Youtube, that makes it law? Why don't you ask a black person? Or is this too far out of your culture zone?

His views means nothing to me. I commented on his stupidity. I just find it interesting that white people who have no skin in the game when it comes to black people tend to have the most to say.

Skin in the game?

How does that even make sense?

When it is whites enduring the expense and ongoing relocation known as WHITE FLIGHT. (There is a Black-Flight as well).

When whites are more burdened with paying the cost of the criminal justice system and the welfare state.

Whites are disproportionally charged with supporting school systems and Police services.

Whites have lots of skin in the game..... too much if you ask me and I bet if you took a poll 98% of whites would wish that Blacks would put themselves in a better position to also have more skin in the game.

If that were to happen such comments like Mr Bundy made would dry up, Blacks would be known as "the best workers" or the most studious.... or the Most law abiding with the strongest families and communities.

Wouldn't happen over night but it would happen but not as long as the narcotic of Gov't disables so many citizens with Blacks being the most effected.

You are in a very small circle.

Often times we think the world is like the small circle that we create, thats a huge mistake.

But he was soooo close. He was right there and kept getting things mixed up.

I really enjoyed reading this.

There's some things he says that are almost right - but then he veers off into another land.

There are a large number of people (but not just blacks) who live on gov't subsidies and he is correct, now what do they do?

He says they abort their young and it's sad really, He was supposed to say that they keep having children that they can't afford. He really messed that one up.

He says they put their young men in jail. I wonder who he means when he says "they"? The other "negroes"? I don't think so.

And then he says they are in jail because they never learned to pick cotton. He was supposed to say that they're in jail because they have no fathers. I guess their fathers are in jail because they didn't learn to pick cotton either. It's just a vicious cycle of not picking cotton. Where will it end?

And I have no problem with him wondering if they were better off as slaves. There are definitely problems in the black community and it's okay to wonder if their lives are better now. But, I believe the allowable amount of time to "wonder" is 2 seconds, then you pretty much have to say, "nah, things were really bad for them as slaves." But not this guy, he continues to wonder. Maybe he's just a slow thinker.

I hope to hear more from him.

We're now living in a generation where our youth cannot explain why it is when cotton balls get rotten you can pick more cotton.

Thank you....it was meant to be funny but I was starting to think it was a total failure. I'm feeling much better now.

[mota bhai 2,675]

It was funny. The libs on here won't laugh because they're afraid of not being oh so serious on a topic of such seriousity. Wouldn't want to offend, after all this is serious.

Seriousities? Hmmmm, nice word. I like it, and BJs insightful post also. I'm now singing, "The Bear Necessities" and replacing the word "Necessities" with "Seriousities" Is that a bannable and reprimandable offense?

Race is serious stuff. Poor is serious stuff. No room for levity here.

And what about your circle of friends? Do they say the word Negro?

[lostinblue 1,989]

In the 2000 census, about 50,000 people specifically wrote in the word Negro when asked how they wished to be identified. By 2010, unpublished census data provided to the AP show that number had declined to roughly 36,000.

Looks like some black folks don't object to the word negro
