Clive Bundy opens mouth, and inserts foot...

Like I said, not necessarily the guy to put 100% of your faith in. Although I get what he was trying to say, he said it totally wrong..

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.

“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

Dude that's only "street cred" to the people that adore him.........didn't you get the memo??? He's the second coming of George Washington.

Understand what his point is.... but the racial dividing media and liberals will spin this like a mofo.

And, as Harry Reid will undoubtedly say shortly, that Bundy's comments are defacto proof that all the terrorists that supported his standoff with the BLM are racists too...

I don't think there's much "spin" required for this one.

And the guy's got a lot of chutzpah to rip into "the blacks" for living off government subsidies when he's been grazing cattle on federal land for twenty years without paying a nickel.

I would have to agree. Nothing here but straight up bigotry.

True.... I just agree that the welfare blacks are indeed less free by being dependent on subsidies.

Rather than letting this thread go straight off the rails, how's about we stipulate that hooking people (regardless of race, creed, or color) on government subsidies is a bad idea and that slavery is an even worse state of affairs?

But it is true about the welfare for generations groups. They come in different races. Look at the context of the remark. Bundy was driving by a certain group of welfare people. Sad we don't teach critical thinking to everyone in public schools. Yes the truth these days can hurt peoples little feelings.
