Bundy didn’t mean it the way it came out. He meant that the end of slavery was a Pyrrhic victory, trading one form of slavery for another, a slavery to government dependency.
Bundy’s poor grammar explains why he couldn’t explain what he was thinking. It wasn’t racist. It was the truth, kind of like when Larry Summers said that women weren’t as accomplished in math and engineering as men. It came out wrong.
After discussing the ‘negro’ and cotton picking, Mr Bundy also discussed Mexicans who come into our country.
And now what do you think of illegal alien loving Mr Bundy? Is he still just inarticulate or perhaps he’s not exactly what you had in mind for a straight talking conservative?
“Now let me talk about the Spanish people,” Bundy said in a new video unearthed by New York magazine, right after he concluded his thoughts on “the Negro.”
“I understand that they come over here against our Constitution and cross our borders,” he says. “But they’re here and they’re people. I worked side-by-side a lot of them. Don’t tell me they don’t work, and don’t tell me they don’t pay taxes. And don’t tell me they don’t have better family structures than most of us white people.”
“When you see those Mexican families, they’re together. They picnic together. They’re spending their time together,” he said. “I’ll tell you, in my way of thinking, they’re awful nice people. We need to have those people join us and be with us.”
