ACTUALLY, what he said was

"Cliven Bundy Wonders If Blacks Are 'Better Off As Slaves' Than On Gov't Assistance"

Seems Perry or the 'media' missed those last four words, on purpose.

Here's what he actually said:

“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.

So how is living on the demorat plantation with food stamps, section 8 housing, WIC, SNAP, EIC, Obamacare, Obamaphones, affirmative action, or any of the other 77 welfare programs different than slavery when the recipient has no freedom other than to vote for the “Man” to keep living on the plantation?

Oh, horse apples!

The NYT piece and CBS' question were designed to distract from the fundamental and vastly more important issue of federal overreach.

The NYT and CBS effort failed...because Perry wasn't distracted into a blind alley.
