one of the dumbest conservative posts ever

[rdking647]

I hang out at a conservative board to make fun of some cons.. here is an actual post over there

it may be one of the dumbest things ive ever read



I AM ARGUING THAT A CHILD WHO GREW UP IN SLAVERY IN AN INTACT FAMILY MAY HAVE HAD A BETTER CHILDHOOD THAN A CHILD GROWING UP TODAY IN A SINGLE PARENT FAMILY.


oh my fucking god..........

[checks-n-balances]

1. Yeah, that was totally stupid, BUT...

...didn't Bachmann say essentially the same thing??

[rdking647]

10. yep

and since then the GOP has been trying to backpedal from such a stupid statement. but this is evidence that some morons actually belive that shit

2. If it was a white kid in slavery they'd say different!

Bunch of racists. You can only assume the child in slavery would be black in there mind, while the child in the single parent home is white.

3. That's from The Family Leader's "Marriage Vow" (since retracted w/apology)

4. Right.

Cuz field work, beatings, rape and being bought or sold is
much better than education, computers and a somewhat civil society.

5. what fucking part of SLAVERY don't they get?

[Kennah]

12. The part where they get to own people

Because they can't, they are pissed.

6. How many "intact" slave family did he know of or found in history books? -- n/t

[Maccagirl]

8. Kunta, Belle and Kizzy from Roots

oh wait...Kizzy was sold away.

[Mimosa]

7. I've heard that BS quite a few times.

Thomas Sowell and Rush Limbaugh are fond of it. The latest version was in the 'marriage policy contract' which idiotic Michelle bachmann signed.

I've studied the issue. It's BS since male, female and juvenile slaves were often sold, thereby families were separated when a slaveowner needed extra dollars. It's easily refuted.

I've posted here about my studies of old plantation documents. The antebellum (1845-1959) average slave prices were about $350 to 750 dollars (not inflation adjusted dollars) dependng on the age and skills of a slave. A hard working field hand was equal to the price of a Lexus. ;)

I was posting based on my own studies of plantation records. But here is a real authority which confirms it but gives higher prices than what I'd seen in GA and even Louisiana:

Far down are charts (you can see I was right (I used to do research):

11. Hmmmm...

Let's think about this.


If you went back to 1850 Virginia and asked a black slave male and a black slave female (remember, as property, they couldn't be married) who had a newborn child in common "Would you rather your child stay with you in slavery here on this plantation, or be raised to be free by a lone black free parent in Delaware?", this fool thinks the two slaves would say "no, let him stay here?"



If I went into some poverty-stricken community and asked a single free black parent "Would you rather your newborn child be raised by you, or sent to Somalia, where a black loving couple enslaved by a neighboring tribe will raise him in an intact family?", the single free black parent would say "He's going to Somalia!"


How does a person this stupid use a keyboard?
