So he’s wondering which form of slavery some people prefer?

It appears to be his point.

That’s how I see it. And apart from the hyper-sensitivity crowd, what he said should make even liberals pause. How much freedom have they given the downtrodden? And how many families have they rent asunder?

And 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?

I honestly don’t get the jump so many made to defend Bunker. He is the wrong symbol for a move against Federal overreach. I know the BLM was full of hoola and don’t buy the desert tortoise argument at all. But Bundy was grazing on Federal land without paying the fees that other ranchers paid. From what I read he had plenty of warning that he needed to move those cattle off the land.

The show of police power was overkill and played right into Bundy’s hand and those who took up his cause. That does not change the fact that the man is looking more and more like an ass. This statement is so stupid it beggars belief.

It's not slavery in the historic sense, it's more of labor camp imprisonment without the barbed wire. The labor part is being trotted out to vote, protest the cause d'jour, and received their portion "from the man". The return is that their masters get more power, money, and control over their (and our) lives...

Heck of a life...

No. He was asking an entirely different question.

He was asking which form of slavery the Black people are better off under. He didn't ask anything about feelings.

Surprising so many missed that, as he clearly said it quite a number of times.

well, problem is that welfare slavery is a choice...whereas slavery was not. Huge difference.
