It’s the implication that people are better off as slaves that makes this disgusting.

People whose first reaction is how politically incorrect a statement is disgust me. Slavery was disastrous and a monstrous evil, but a black family suffering under its yoke was less likely to be broken up than in the environment created by their own leaders.

It is an accurate observation, and you people who are allowing the hyperventilating leftists any credibility on this are as much part of the problem as they are. The implication is your own. If there is any racism it is hanging around your own neck.

Do you have any statistics to back up your claim?

“People whose first reaction is how politically incorrect a statement is disgust me. Slavery was disastrous and a monstrous evil, but a black family suffering under its yoke was less likely to be broken up than in the environment created by their own leaders.”

You are dead wrong. Slaves had no right to stay together as families, and very very few could.
