Hoax Exposed: NYT Edits Bundy Remarks
« on: April 24, 2014, 10:53:52 pm »


Quote
Watch Bundy explain how we need to keep things from going backwards for blacks, and how the Federal government has created a neo-slave class via entitlement dependency that is so bad it is arguably worse than plantation slavery was.

It is 100% clear that Cliven Bundy is not saying that blacks should be slaves picking cotton, but that the Federal government has created conditions for them so terrible, that their current situation may actually be worse. (If you are person of low intelligence, the fact that that is his point might be too hard for you to understand.)

And he’s not blaming blacks for the issues of abortions, and crime and broken families, he’s blaming the Feds.

It's a stupid comparison.  Blacks are not worse off today than they were as slaves.  Sheesh.  Most black people live middle class lives.  They have families and jobs, and they are productive citizens.  Yes, a higher proportion of African-Americans get public assistance than do Anglos, but it is not a majority by any means.

Bundy's statement is just bizarre.  I think he's just an old relic who still believes the "Gone With the Wind" and "Birth of a Nation" myth.  Whether he's just a pathetic dinosaur or not, he needs to be thrown under the bus in no uncertain terms.

Regardless of whether he's just a pathetic dinosaur or not, "throwing him under the bus" hands Harry Reid the victory. I made a Todd Akin comparison in another thread. This is the same strategy Reid used to hold onto the Senate and keep his buddy Obama in the Presidency two years ago. The difference is, this isn't an election.

He is a grump old rancher who probably has many prejudices of his generation HOWEVER, it seems Media Matters did chop up his video to completely turn on its head what he said- he was accusing the Dems of taking them back to that era, not that they were 'better off' as though they should go to it.

Even so Mr. Bundy's statement is grotesquely false.  The conditions many Blacks live in, sometimes deplorable conditions, that have been facilitated by the federal government, are incomparably better than the conditions in which almost all slaves lived in.  Or have I missed the memo saying that it's now legal for the federal government to whip Blacks who live on welfare to within an inch of their lives?

As a student (yes, college) of Black History and Slavery (word derived from Slavic), I'd say that you have a very limited knowledge of the true history.

The first, forgotten and never freed slaves were the White Irish.

The Black slave was owned mostly by the Mulatto Blacks and upon his release (the slave) was given land, cattle and other reparations that were not afforded the White Irish .. or their children!

Also, one of the very first .. and The first to own black slaves in Virginia was a black man himself, Anthony Johnson.

Johnson was also responsible for the court case in which Slavery was deemed Legal in this country!
(He fought and won the right to legalized slavery)

How's that for a short history on slavery? :beer:

Good history lesson.

Two questions............ how many of those Irish slaves' families were still enslaved 100 years later?  And how many black slave owners were there at the time of the Civil War?

Some whites will forever be losers in the 'Gotcha Game'!

Nothing Bundy said was offensive or untrue .. none!

How many times does a black man (me for instance) have to come to the aid of someone ALL of you should be defending?

The man is clearly from another era and is not running for anything and is clearly not up on the rules of Political Correctness!

Disagreeing with Mr. Bundy does not equal any form of "white guilt" nor immaturity.

We have different opinions here, Mr. Close, and that's supposed to be alright.

But all the disagreements tend to center around Non Politically Correct words .. which Political Correctness was invented by White folks!?

Yes.  By liberal white racists.

Of which there are none on this board.

Just conservatives with different opinions.  Right??

My opinion is that we shouldn't agree with words that are ignorant and thoughtless (Bundy's), and defend those who say them (Bundy), just because we know that the left will abuse and misconstrue our words and thoughts.

I'm with you! There are many ways to say the same thing, and as many ways to interpret what someone says. Some people are more fluent than others, but that doesn't mean they don't have the same things or feelings on the inside. The better writers have the ability to put our thoughts into their pens. Thomas Sowell comes to mind. 

Too many are holding Mr. Bundy to higher standards that he isn't. By that, I mean he's not a Harvard or Yale scholar, but a simple man tending to his ranch, though he is not a simpleton. I doubt he has a racist bone in his body, though many are getting off reading their own confirmation bias into his statements. This is, to me, a form of discrimination against a man who isn't prolific with his words, and college educated people are raking him over the coals for his simplicity.

The story is about the federal government and its control over land, the states, and the individual. The distraction is distasteful because of the perverse delight in ripping a man apart for what he never meant in the first place.

So, Pat Dollard says Bundy's words were edited, and then tries to defend the meaning of the words that were supposedly edited.

Quote
It is 100% clear that Cliven Bundy is not saying that blacks should be slaves picking cotton, but that the Federal government has created conditions for them so terrible, that their current situation may actually be worse.

So, "blacks" have it worse now than when they were bought and sold as animals?

They take up 80% of the prison cells, commit more than 10X more murders than whites and virtually their entire base are dependent on the government.  The black 2 parent family is virtually non-existent.

After reading yet another explanation of what I heard Mr. Bundy clearly say, the idea that "the Negro" would be better off as a slave than in their current conditions remains ( at best) an absurd, ignorant and insensitive statement, and ( at worst) offensively racist.

Really?  I thought that was a democrat tactic.  No longer of any use, toss them aside as if rubbish.  Didn't realize it had come into prominent use among conservatives as well.

The illusions the left has created for slavery is absurd.  Common sense should blow apart some of this BS but it seems that's is short supply when it comes to this topic also.  You would not run your workers into the ground and beat them to an inch of their lives.  Just what purpose would that serve?  You don't run your tractor out of oil do you?

Not saying that abuse did not happen, not by a long shot, but one family story tells of Mother's Grandmother standing on the porch with a double barrell shotgun and backing the clan off.

I'll see your anecdotal and raise you one Zong massacre.

The Zong was a Liverpool-based slave ship who, as a result of navigational mistakes by the crew, was in danger of running out of drinking water before it reached its destination. In order for that not to happen, and for the 17-man crew not to suffer dehydration, 142 slaves, men, women and children were thrown overboard somewhere between Tobago and Jamaica.

The owners of the Zong had insured their "cargo", but that insurance would not pay for losses due to "natural causes" (such as starvation, or disease, or dying as a result of a beating), but if some of the "cargo" had to be jettisoned, then the claim would fall under the "general average" principle, which had all interested parties sharing in losses "from a voluntary sacrifice of part of the ship or cargo to save the whole in an emergency."

The British courts found that (in some cases) the deliberate killing of slaves was legal, and that the insurers were to pay the claims for the lost "cargo".

In the aftermath of a retrial that saw the earlier findings upheld, the deliberate killings found to be legal, and the insurance claims viable, the Earl of Mansfield remarked that the jury "had no doubt (though it shocks one very much) that the Case of Slaves was the same as if Horses had been thrown over board."

All around the world, to greater and lesser  extents, some people are subsidized by various government provided safety net programs. That is the individual, subsistence level of participation.

On the other end of the scale, many comfortable farmers and ranchers, do very nicely on subsidies. Paid to not grow, price supports, grazing on publicly owned lands, etc.

Grazing one's herd on land they do not own (and have never owned), is certainly a subsidy.

So if "benefitting" from government subsidies makes one a slave, inner city blacks and Bundy are both willing slaves.

Merely attaching to different teats, of Big Mama Government.

Bundy is therefore not an attractive spokesman against subsidies, or the lifestyle of subsidy dependent people.

Refusing to pay grazing fees, further erodes Bundy's standing to criticize other dependents.

"Conservatism" has failed to reach beyond the usual choir, in any preaching on this topic. Won't gain voters in my opinion.

Skip the race stuff. Go back to 200 plus heavily armed people on the land to enforce this. People in the cities - especially in the inner cities and the ghettos - have a distrust of cops. Use that aspect.

Those inner city dependents will readily buy the explanation that the good government is watching out for them, by dealing with white racist ranchers out west, etc.

Thirsty Kool-Aid drinkers, IOW. The price they pay for their government dependency, is buying into the crap their leaders spew for their consumption. 90% =+ democrat voters, and holding.
