Bundy was using a rhetorical device - exuscitatio or something like it.

I think its pretty clear he didn't intend his comparison to slavery to be taken literally.

Anything Mr. Bundy said would have been wrong. He could have said, “ The sun is shining” and that would have been twisted by the usual parrots into, “He is racists”.

I sympathize with Bundy but he wouldn’t know a “rhetorical device - exuscitatio” if it bit him in the ass.
