I say Republicans run the House like a plantation because I am speaking to Negroes--the wretched of the earth, a slave people--who will surely know all about plantations." Is this a tin ear or a Freudian slip, blacks will wonder? Does she really see us as she projects us--as a people so backward that our support can be won with a simple plantation reference, and the implication that Republicans are racist? Quite possibly so, since no apology has been forthcomingWhat's with this "Quite possibly so". Don't 85% of blacks or there about think this. So why wouldn't she use it. She treats every group in consecending fashion & they come back for more insults.
