One of Slim's statements was that the key to having power over a hooker was to make her forget that Lincoln ever freed the slaves.

The Democrats learned well from Mr. Slim's book - keep them dependent on Big Sugar and on the plantation afraid to leave.

It isn’t just that Mr. Doggie Person made this absurd remark, it is that he did it as the KEYNOTE speaker at SXSW in Austin without challenge from the audience or interviewer. It’s that his sentiments were echoed by Daily Beast without ridicule (in fact them gave them headline coverage without rebuke).
South Central LA was just a wholesome family environment until Reagan was elected. Got it.
