The comparison is stupid, and offensive. Slavery is totally anomalous in a free society. . Those families were not free agents. A better one would have been to compare today with 1960. Free blacks in 1960 were doing much better. Even with the burden of racial segregation, blacks were better able to maintain family life.

Its this failure which has generated the black flash mobs with no regard for the law... coincidentally, all supporters of Obama. Conversely, Obama relates to them.
