Let the Africans beat their drum. This is the sum total of their inventiveness.

His name had the word "Butter" in it. The slaves were forced to churn butter, we're they not?

He's a racist.

Good grief....Has politics become a word game?

What's the definition of "is" ?

A quick search reveals dozens of a bible verses featuring the word “shackles,” so nice try, Butterfield. According to these professional activists, everything is about them if they want it to be be. Anything to keep the slaves on the plantation so the poverty pimps keep earning extra privileges from Massah.

Okay....Trump said he was removed from shackles. That would be the shackles that the uniparty keeps on all US citizens. Blacks can remove their shackles, too, if they vote for Trump.

Why the heck would they complain about a pol who promises to end the slavery that the elite impose on them?

"The moment an African-American hears the word 'shackles,' it's reminiscent of the era of slavery,"

Then they need to broaden their minds about that term. It's very commonly used.

TRUMP is right. He and we REPUBLICANS have been slaves to the GOP Establishment. Someone has to do something about it.

Trump response should be “While I am disappointed to have lost the votes of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus, I hope this illustrates for others how little substance there is to their criticism of me.

"The moment an African-American hears the word 'shackles,' it's reminiscent of the era of slavery," Democratic Congressman G.K. Butterfield said...

So, now we have the poster boy of 1950's Insurance Salesmen, white as the driven snow, probably has a black woman cooking his meals and a black woman doing his laundry, is going to assume that HE is qualified to tell black folks what words, such as "shackle", should trigger them to paroxysms of depression and subject them to episodic memories of being in said shackles...which, of course, no one currently alive, black or white, have ever experienced the ignominy of being shackled for being a slave.

I guess, since he's the head of the Congressional Black Caucus, that he can say these things with much, much gravitas.

The absolute stupidity and ignorance of democrats and democrat supporters simply astounds me.

And the fact that a great many otherwise respectable and wise black men listen to bozo's like this and subscribe to the "everything reminds me of being a slave" meme, being spewed by a would-be Plantation massa, disappoints me even more.

Keep these handy tips in mind folks:

- “Gonna put you in chains!” = APPROVED STATEMENT because being “in chains” is bad

- “Shackles are coming off!” = UNACCEPTABLE STATEMENT because being released from chains / shackles is ... um ... ok wait a minute ...

It is so absurd to see and hear a millionaire congressman lament about the hardship of slavery.

This guy hangs out with the most powerful and rich people on earth. He has caviar, champagne and steak every day of the week.

Who the HELL is he to lecture anyone about hardship?
