What you think you know about slavery is likely biased and from abolitionist sources. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was not an accurate account of the average slaves life. Now I am not in any way justifying slavery, I am just telling you that the situation was not as cut and dry as you think.
Every wonder why you didn't see this as racism because you share his ideas?
OK, will all Black ATS members who wish to support any statement that starts : "I don't justify slavery but..." please jump in any time.

It's relevant because I picked issues that both political sides would think was crazy for them to back.
Your the one who brought up their opinion , what you considered to be relevant. I just pointed out that there opinion isn't at all infallible or what we all should be striving for. They were just men whose actions lead to the founding of a country. Not the end all be all of American ideology.
Oh and I will keep reading those books. You just keep reading that one :p
Watch Bundy explain how we need to keep things from going backwards for blacks, and how the Federal government has created a neo-slave class via entitlement dependency that is so bad it is arguably worse than plantation slavery was. It is 100% clear that Cliven Bundy is not saying that blacks should be slaves picking cotton, but that the Federal government has created conditions for them so terrible, that their current situation may actually be worse. (If you are person of low intelligence, the fact that that is his point might be too hard for you to understand.) And he’s not blaming blacks for the issues of abortions, and crime and broken families, he’s blaming the Feds. This is the exact opposite of a racist, this is an advocate for the welfare and best interests of blacks. And just as importantly, you’ll at the end of the video he gives passionate praise and defense of hispanic illegal aliens, lauding them for “better family structures than most white peoples’” Racist? Why is he praising Mexicans as better than whites, if he’s some sort of white supremacist racist?. Take a hike all you lying, character-assassinating ##%$&@

Seeing how Bundy went back on tv and repeated the same comments he won't be suing anyone soon.
Nevada Rancher Cliven Bundy Doesn't Apologize, Repeats Racist Remarks
How can someone say this man is an advocate of blacks by saying their lives would be better had they learned to pick cotton.

He said that the negro were better off as slaves, when they had chickens and gardens.. but what he meant to say was - uhhh. What was it that he meant to say again?
'Uhhhhh....' Just what I thought, your brain shut down. I paraphrased his speech to help people, like you, who suffer from low comprehension skills.
To demonstrate, did he SAY that blacks were better off as slaves or did he ASK that? BIG difference. You should learn to listen better. Humanity needs people who can listen and understand, not fools who spontaneously react to trigger words.
