Telling people that it is wrong to make statements that try to put slavery in a positive light is not reacting to a Lefty Racism whistle. It is simply pointing out the obvious stupidity of that belief. Slavery was a terrible stain on the history of this country and lead to untold suffering which all of the people of this nation are still paying for.
The current condition of many Blacks is indeed caused by a new form of slavery. The differences being that at least now Blacks can break away from this slavery if they are willing to do so.
Bundy was a jerk for trying to defend slavery as being a system in which Blacks were better off when compared to their lives today.
If you don’t get that the buying and selling of human beings was a great wrong and that people are not chattel than you need to stop reacting to the “If he’s against big government he must be good” whistle.
Slavery in the United States will one day be looked upon as the best thing ever to happen to the black race. It was their key to the door of freedom and independence, and a seat at the table of the modern world. It was also infinitely better than being killed by the tribe that captured you rather than being sold to the white man at the dock. Those were the only two choices back then.
That's your interpretation of Bundy's remarks, which is not Bundy's remarks.

I'm tired of being Big Government's chattel, aren't you?
I've learned to ignore "dog whistles". You should try training yourself to ignore them.
