[PROCON]

Whoa, what took him so long?

I'm only surprised he didn't compare the Electoral College to Hitler's Nazi Germany.

[Alberta's Child]

Conyers is one of those @ssholes who thinks everything he doesn’t like is “rooted in slavery.”

[faithhopecharity]

he’s rooted in slavery too

but the rest of America left that behind a hundred years ago

[P-Marlowe]

By his logic we need to get rid of the Senate.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The Dems will keep going back to this well
until it stops working.

[P-Marlowe]

So Conyers thinks that slaves should not have been counted as humans at all?

[uncitizen]

Ooh a RAT throwing down the race card. What a shocker...

[Common Sense 101]

I am so sick and tired of listening to these stupid, ignorant sons of bitches. I can’t even imagine how wonderful this world would be without these liberal scum. They are truly a cancer upon this Earth...

[Louis Foxwell]

John Conyers is rooted in slavery. Without impoverished, drug addled, crime ridden, out of wedlock welfare queens, gang homies, Conyers has no constituency. He fully intends to keep it that way.

[headstamp 2]

The stupid is strong in this one.

[Baynative]

Is there a school where thee people go to learn how to turn every issue into a race card play?

[Alberta's Child]

What a bitter old bastard. It must be devastating for him to sit there in his waning years and see Michigan in the Trump column on all those Election 2016 maps.

[NonValueAdded]

Rep. Conyers is rooted in stupid.

[goodnesswins]

Says the Plantation owner to his slaves

[Dawgreg]

Oh just shut the hell up! You and your fellow race baiters may be in for a rude awakening when your constituents see their lives can get better and awaken to the fact that it’s people like YOU that have held them down. I don’t expect it to happen, but I sure am hoping it does. You’re a disgrace Conyers.....to the black community AND the human race in general!!

[Feckless]

Get mental picture of Martians in 'Mars Attacks' and chant "ack ack Ack Ack ACK ACK!"

You've just simulated the entire DemonRat Party Strategy from start to finish.

[D Rider]

Like how he mixes the electoral college and how representation was calculated. What a putz.

[RooRoobird20]

Whoa, what took him so long?

---

He’s still alive? He must be 107 by now.

Yes, if all else fails, cry “RACISM!!!”

[Campion]

By that warped logic, the House of Representatives is also “rooted in slavery”. So when is he going to resign?

[blam]

Is his wife still in prison?

Monica Conyers, Wife To John Conyers, Sentenced To 3 Years In Prison For Detroit Bribes

Slavery made her do it.

[Dr. Sivana]

At the time of the U.S. Constitution, most of the country had slavery.

As a result of this gradualist approach, New York did not fully free its last ex-slaves until 1827, Rhode Island had seven slaves still listed in the 1840 census. Pennsylvania's last ex-slaves were freed in 1847, Connecticut's in 1848, and New Hampshire and New Jersey in 1865.

BTW, states with the most slaves wanted them to count as a whole person (not 3/5's), just as non-voting women and children did for purposes of representation. The northerners (with fewer slaves at the time) wanted slaves to count for ZERO. They settled on 3/5's.

Lots of horse-trading here, but it would be more accurate to characterize it as an agrarian versus trade dispute rather than slave versus non-slave.
