I'm not sure it's very nice to analogize black people as "clunkers". Maybe you should read the thread comments before formulating a more accurate analogy.
Just a thought.
By him stating he thought it would be best to just 'buy them out of their servitude' is pretty darn despicable. It removes their humanity, turning personal freedom into a transaction. It sounds like an advertisement for 'cash for clunkers'
(I know I'm not formulating this thought correctly, sorry)
