I suspect the congressman Slick referred to is Marion Berry. He "worked on a plantation" alright: try OWNS ONE!! If you don't believe plantation life still exists outside the Democratic mindset in congress, plan your next vacation for the Mississippi Delta counties in Mississippi and Arkansas.
Spend time in Clarksville, Cleveland, Greenwood, and Greenville, Ms. and Lake Village, Elaine, Marianna, Helena, and West Helena, Ar. Plan on stayng long enough to get the true flavor of what fifty years of Democratic paternalism has done for the black populations of this area of the country.
In short, nothing positive has been done since reconstruction. That is, unless one considers the creation of a blind faith, unquestioning loyalty to their new "Massas".
Frankly, it disgusts me to see how cheaply the black folk have sold out to those that conciously have doomed them to an economic slavery every bit as vile as the chains that bound their ancestors.

Tell it, virgil. Then, ya'll come on up to rural North Carolina and take a look. Same scenery.
