What does he think Chicago, Detroit, etc. are but prisons without walls? What is lousy education but a way to keep them there...with their hands out accepting a pittance from the masters who enslave them in a hopeless dangerous life?

Equality means that everyone gets the same in America, whether they need it or not.

He is demanding we embrace communism, where all people are equal in misery.

It's funny, but racists like Tavis Smiley never acknowledge that we have one (and only one) slave class in modern day America - taxpayers. That is, of course, an absolute requirement for 'equality', as he defines it.

More worrisome to me, he deliberately acts as if there was never a war between the states that abolished slavery (talking about results, not original intent). The people of the United States fought each other - killed each other in massive numbers - with the end result being slavery being made unconstitutional.

Further, the social atmosphere in the US has been irrevocably altered. Blacks are not non-persons, and for Tavis to allege that slavery could return for black Americans while the sitting POTUS is half black is bull cookies. To racists like Tavis unSmiley, no amount of progress is ever enough.

Finally, the over use of the 'racist' label has made it worthless. we are told that the pigment of our skin makes us racist (if we're white), so what is the use of fighting the charge? If it is immutable, then should we embrace it, and perhaps even pursue it to its obvious end?

They’ve been enslaved for years on the plantation run by the Democrats.

Tavis Smiley needs an immediate interventation by Stump for Trum ladies, Diamond and Silk about getting off the Democrat party plantation.

Tavis and all black Americans have to finally face that the fact that the Democrat Party derives its power from human sacrifice.

That shouldn’t, and WON’T happen. Why?

1. The American people won’t allow it - I’ve NEVER come across any person who said that the wanted to own slaves, and I know that some of the people that I’ve met were/are racists.

2. Blacks are WAY to heavily armed to ever be enslaved as a group. Individuals - well, that can happen to any one person anywhere and at any time. But not to 35-40 million people.

This is just an incoherent political screed, thrown together to get Illary elected. Oh, and Tavis Smiley is an “ah sole.”

Is there even a tiny fringe group with more than 2 people in it that advocates a return to slavery? Maybe on the Democrat side.

I know I could use a couple around the farm. I don’t discriminate though, I don’t care what their skin color is, as long as they’re Democrats.

The racist Tavis Smiley is openly admitting his hatred for this country and White People in General. He is aware that the BS “fear of being enslaved again” can also be a moral excuse of BLM and the media when BLM followers begin to indiscriminately kill more white people (especially cops), which will eventually lead up to attacking the mostly white Suburbs. Lock and Load folks Civil War is coming.

What an effing moron, the welfare state has ALREADY enslaved the black people

BINGO!!! Because you wrote it, I don't have to. But that is the fact of the matter, very matter-of-factly stated.
