Republican Legislator Says ‘Slavery Was A Blessing In Disguise’ | Addicting Info

“… the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.”

Yeah, sorry about the whole slavery thing but hey, look on the bright side. At least we let you live here! USA! USA! USA!

That makes me so ****ing mad I can't even begin to explain it. :mad:

I had an uncle who pretty much said the same thing. Except he said they should be grateful they don't have to live in mud huts and get AIDS.

Unfortunately we all know people with pretty awfully closed minds who are prone to making wide generalisations. What this idiot has said is stupidity of the highest order though.

^ I was just about to post that one. WTF is it about the state of Florida and crazy news stories?

neways they killed off the entire Native American race so they could live there anyway

Not that our treatment of the Native Americans wasn't absolutely repugnant, but in absolute fairness, most of them died due to unintentional exposure to our diseases.
