But since he used the word “Negro”, the truth of his statement will be lost in the rage over saying black in Spanish...
. . . when they were slaves, and they was able to have their family structure together, and the chickens and garden, and the people had something to do . . .

Cliven Bundy is apparently a student of a famous Democrat professor and politician.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Assistant Secretary of Labor, 1965:
The majority of Negro children receive public assistance under the AFDC program at one point or another in their childhood.At present, 14 percent of Negro children are receiving AFDC assistance, as against 2 percent of white children. Eight percent of white children receive such assistance at some time, as against 56 percent of nonwhites, according to an extrapolation based on HEW data.
Again, the situation may be said to be worsening. The AFDC program, deriving from the long established Mothers' Aid programs, was established in 1935 principally to care for widows and orphans, although the legislation covered all children in homes deprived of parental support because one or both of their parents are absent or incapacitated.
The steady expansion of this welfare program, as of public assistance programs in general, can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.
Moynihan was a Democrat senator from New York from 1977 to 2001, when he was succeeded by the Hildebeest.
