“The good news is, it doesn’t have to be excused. Because its over.”
THAT is the bottom line. The problem has been fixed — by Republicans. Republicans have tweaked it to improve it over the years.
What descendants of slaves do, or have done, with their freedom is a matter of choice and personal responsibility. They can choose to excel — or be lazy and demand handouts.
SLAVERY IS OVER!!
Hardly. Democrats have been enslaving black people since the inception of the democratic party. Pre-civil war, they used whips and chains to enslave, as well as territorial compromises, and laws like the "fugitive slave act." After republicans ended the southern insurrection and legalized slavery, the democrats kept black people enslaved through the KKK and other democrat supported, white supremacist paramilitary groups. After republicans used federal troops to suppress the Klan, democrats used Jim Crow laws and legalized segregation to enslave black people, and they opposed constitutional amendments and the various civil rights acts to keep black people enslaved. And on the modern day, democratic plantation, democrats keep black people enslaved through mind-control and an endless stream of government handouts that have made generations of black people dependent upon their slave-masters in the democratic party for survival.
