Cliven Bundy said and I quote:

“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? They didn’t get more freedom. They got less freedom.”

No truer words have ever been spoken. And THAT is why the Left has their balls in an uproar.

One in every three black males born today can expect to go to prison at some point in their life.

IMHO, The lack of ‘family life’ is the reason. And, I would ask which is worse: slavery or prison?

Slaves had a "family life"? When their master could rape their wife anytime he felt like it, and their children could be taken from them and sold to another master? Not my idea of an ideal family life.

So no, "truer words" have indeed been spoken.
