[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1314497, member: 18225"] Mssr. Bundy is 71, so perhaps we can forgive his usage of the word 'Negro', which, in 2014, is so problematic it's not worth discussing. In his defense, he said he was '[B][I]just wondering[/I][/B]' if perhaps blacks were better off under slavery. Ummmmm...no. Not at all. Yes, perhaps the 'flaming liberal media' is spinning this. And, the 'flaming right-wing media' is spinning this. Yes, he points to societal problems that blacks face, yes he's a Mormon and loves family (so much so that he has fourteen kids), yes yes, blah blah blah. It's almost two separate issues, his idea of not recognizing the guvment, vs. his outdated and outmoded views about black people. 'Negro'? 'Picking cotton'? Seriously? Amusing to see the right-wing pundits do the two-step and back away from this guy. Ironically, his case brings up several issues that are worth discussing, but unfortunately he's a poor messenger...
