Are you aware of what he actually said? ...be careful not to take the word of such a media outlet regarding the nature of his words. I actually agree with the comments he made about today's blacks not being slaves and the condition having ended 140 years ago. I did not think he dispareged anyone except people who are absoultely politically motivated in seeking to use race as a divisor in todays political environment...and that's why they are outraged about it. He is attacking one of today's liberal's bedrock institutions, much as Alan Keyes, a black man himself, has done for years.
A good read in this regard, regardless of how else one may feel about Keyes, is his book, "Mastering the Dream", which is an excellent expose on how the left particularly uses race to pander votes and economically subjugate people to the welfare state, convincing them they are owed something and therefore ensnaring them in govermental dependancy.
Your points are right on!
I should have said, "If he made such remarks".
I agree with his sentiments 100%. Talk about self-fulfilling prophesies!
