I don’t know.

We have been bending over backwards for an entire generation to avoid ever acting like “racists”.

What he said, may not have been the most politically sensitive, but it wasn’t blatantly racist.

I like the way he didn’t backtrack, and am inclined to think this could backfire on Dems bigtime.

Would have preferred he hadn’t said anything, but he seems to be handling himself ok.

As a matter of historical accuracy, after the Civil War, some blacks returned to their former masters voluntarily. That being said, Bundy wasn’t bashing blacks. He was talking plain about problems that are well known and have been well publicized. He’s not exactly talk show smooth, but I bet he doesn’t count Tamara Holder or Bob Beckel as his dear friends either.

I tend to agree with you. I don't think the problem is that he made the statements. The problem is that our side is so afraid of the Truth that they let those who hate the Truth to dictate our stance. We claim to believe in and support the Truth, then cave and let the Left win the debate by default and our pussy attempts to "prove we're not racists". They double down on the most heinous stances and activities and we back down from any form of conflict when it actually espouses our supposed beliefs.
