"Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA's first African-American President," the document reads.Can someone tell me what is inaccurate in this statement?

Nothing inaccurate at all, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a stupid thing for a Presidential candidate to sign.

It’s inaccurate because it’s not politically correct.
Other than that, it’s a 2” grouping at 1000 yards.

Slaves were treated as cattle in the old South.
When it was advantageous to the owner he would allow families to stay together. When not, he would split them for whatever reason. It's the basis of innumerable Blues songs from the old days.
However, that Bachmann would sign a pledge with such statements shows she is as stupid as she appears. And, oblivious.
That said, there are at least 5 million that will vote for her on the basis of this pledge alone.

I do not think they should have included that statement at all. They could have kept the part about illegitimate births skyrocketing after LBJ; but the piranhas in the MSM are going to characterize the document as pro-slavery.

If it’s true, it’s not racist. Bachman is free to use that if she wants.

In the late 1800’s, early 1900’s, black were most likely to be Bible believing Southern Baptists.

It’s the implication that people are better off as slaves that makes this disgusting. There is no need to add this. Why not go after LBJ’s socialist policies towards poverty?

Exactly. She and her crew will be spending all their time with, "Well, what I meant to say was...."

When the Irish first came to the U.S. (famine), they were treated worse than the slaves. Strange that no one talks about it much.

Of all the ways the point could have been made, that was the worst possible.
To: ABQHispConservative
Its the implication that people are better off as slaves that makes this disgusting.The truth, as outlined in the pledge, is that they were more likely to be in a two parent family during slavery than today.
You obviously want to read more into it than is there.
Your freedom to do so, but it's simply a reflection on your need to be offended.
To: ejdrapes
Statement of fact.
No brainer.
Why can’t a candidate sign a statement?
Oh I see, we are soo soo scared of what “liberals will think about us” still that we should never sign on to a statement of objective truth.

Well, it was American slavery, versus that in the Caribbean and Brazil, that fostered stable family units among slaves. It was this, among other things, that was principally responsible for American slavery to have been a relatively minor participant in the importation of slaves compared to the Caribbean and Brazil. Though the same thing could be said about black children for almost any time in U.S. history up to about the 1970s.

Michelle Bachmann isn’t running for “First Historian of The United States’’ for cryin’ out loud! She’s running for President. What’s with all the history quizzes? MR ‘’57’’ states’’ wouldn’t know anything about the history of America or the world for that matter if it ran up and bit him on the ass. He proves that everyday.

You can't substantiate that by citing a single reference. And to allude that blacks were better off, in any way, under slavery...borders on racism, at least.

BS!!!!!!!!!
The Irish had freedom of association and every freedom you enjoy today.
They were free to move out of the cities and settle land in order to enjoy the fruits of their labors and LIBERTY.
