For decades African Americans have complained about businesses not hiring African Americans.

Now that President Trumps' economy (or is that Obamas' economy?) has given blacks almost full employment it's almost no different from 'slavery'.

[BenLurkin]

Liberal logic.

Having jobs is like slavery.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Clyburn is a major racist and would be black supremacist, IMHO.

There isn’t any way to please him short of making the USA into South Africa.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Cavuto typically pushes the wrong point.

What has Trump said about AA???

[DoughtyOne]

All it takes is one Leftard...

[SaveFerris]

[(or is that Obama’s economy?)]

It isn’t. Except to lying Democrat politicians.

Oops that was redundant.

[Dr. Sivana]

Government provided healthcare will also be like slavery ... one Master.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

So Clyburn is saying slavery wasn’t so bad?

[Texas Eagle]

I don’t understand what he’s getting at.

[Da Coyote]

Liberal logic indeed.

One of the major oxymorons in the multiverse.

Guess that idiot has not yet learned of the Democrat plantation.

Where, as in the Hotel California, you can check in, but you cannot check out.

"Well, not as much as what Trump has said about African Americans,"

What is he referring to?

[lee martell]

Just like all those Egyptians who (may have) built the Pyramids. They were ‘fully employed’ too, but under terrible, inhumane conditions. Should Blacks have been ‘counting their blessings’ under Slavery and remained on the Plantation?
Is that what you’re saying, Mr. Clyburn?

[teacherwoes]

Vote democrat to bring back slavery and 100% African-American employment /s

[silverleaf]

Clyburn is a pitiful muffin

Its surprising his IQ allows speech, much less logic

[lepton]

“Well, not as much as what Trump has said about African Americans,”
What is he referring to?

I got into that with a young woman of my acquaintance.

At a *definitive* 0-for-16, she gave up and called me closed-minded.

[Herman Ball]

I will bet Clyburn’s family owned slaves!

[Impala64ssa]

Having endless "serious national dialogues" about race with libs is more futile than shovelling 💩 against the tide. The latest stunt, the 1619 project is just a other stunt at perpetuating racial animosity and identity politics

[JBW1949]

What a stupid, stupid analogy...Consider the source...

[Vigilanteman]

Clyburn and his followers prefer the certainty of a government check that they don’t have to earn to a paycheck from a real job that they do. It is that simple.
