Just curious, how do you think that ability is holding up for the former slaves?
It occurs to me that the moral argument in favor of slavery was that certain peoples were not capable of taking care of themselves, so it was best to have a more powerful force which would provide for them in exchange for what they could do for that more powerful force. Obviously a very self-serving position, but it sounds amazingly familiar to the DNC's stated position on blacks today, don't you think?
The answer is the same. These people need the same tough love that Lincoln used to free the slaveholders from their addiction. Generation after generation of indolence, laziness and dependence is pathological. It is inexcusable.
