The person in question didn't realize that his argument was the SAME EXACT ONE used by "humane" southerners who claimed that their slaves would "starve to death" were they to be freed and move north, and that they instead lived a comfortable life being fed by Massah and "singing in the fields" under the warm southern sun.

I've found this idiotic attitude among many folks who grew up under paternalistic dictatorships, NOT just the USSR.

Why is it that most American blacks — who, in view of their history, should be very much against slavery — make political choices which favor a servile status under an all-powerful but bumbling “massa” state?

A dependent attitude is the enemy of liberty.
