Good job twisting and distorting his words. Nowhere in there did he say African Americans were better off as slaves. Nowhere. He was talking purely in terms of the numbers of people that have been killed in slavery and in terms of babies aborted, since he view aborting as murder. Some of you guys want to hate Republicans so bad you allow yourself to view things like this in an intellectually dishonest way. If you want to disagree with his views on abortion, great. But don't start throwing words in his mouth.
Actually you have put the words in his mouth. He clearly states that they had it better before. He does not specify deaths, murder, or infant mortality rates anywhere in his comparison. He states for all to see that he believes half of all black babies being aborted is worse than all black people being slaves.
If I am wrong, please show me where he says the things you claim he said.
Notice how the OP and the article uses the word 'implies'? That means he didn't say what you are talking about.
And yet today half of all black children are aborted. Half of all black children are aborted. Far more black children, far more of the African-American community, is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery."
That is talking specifically about the numbers of aborted African American children. Notice also that when he talks about looking back at the slavery policies and how bad they were he says:
"And now we look back on it and we say, 'Well how blind were they, what was the matter with them.'
Ya notice how that is him talking poorly about slavery? He's saying that
the fat so many Afircan American babies are being aborted that the impact of that is far more devastating. That can be his opinion if he view abortion as murder. Try some intellectual honesty on for size, may feel uncomfortable, but it will treat you better in the long run.
