Bundy is an older man and likely not up on slave history. It's obvious by his comment that he thought slaves were treated kindly. He likely does not know slave families were split up and sold to others. This case is not about slaves or slave owners or any of that history. Glen Beck is wrong to tell people to leave supporting Bundy. In the past, I've heard some wild pronouncements from Beck, too, and he should know better as he is in front of the pubic all the time.

My mother grew up in the later 1800s. I heard her say, “Blacks are okay in their place.” That is how it was then. She had no problem with blacks but did consider them in a lower class than whites. Pretty much, so did everyone else. I wasn't around blacks as schools were segregated then. I didn't know them so I was neutral about them. Mom also hated Jews as she would say, “They killed Christ.” I didn't know any Jews so I was neutral about them. I didn't accept her views about either race after I was older and met these people. I realized her opinions were from an earlier time.

Of course they were.

Slave wedding vows included the variation "until death or distance do us part".

Is that really any different than today's situation with near-100% illegitimacy rates?

Was the Klan any worse than today's situation when in the big-city urban plantations you can be shot dead in your sleep by some guy your next-door-neighbor pissed-off?
