... and seriously. I think you've missed the whole point of slavery. "Treating them well" has nothing to do with the fact that they were slaves (i.e., people who were the property of and wholly subject to another).

Everybody understands your idiocy clearly. Lack of understanding has nothing to do with it.

There's value in having a look through both sides. It's unfortunate you haven't figured it out yet.Quote:

Guys, just because WC says stupid things on here doesn't mean he's stupid.
In the same vein, just because a person slaps his wife, doesn't mean he supports wife-beating. He just knows that a wife needs a firm hand and strong guidance in order to produce the very best sandwich she's capable of making. A slap is just one of the tools in a husband's toolbox.
Consider this.Quote:

Now please... I am not comparing slaves to animals. My point is that other whites, only accept them as slave. Freed in that time means no way to survive.
Where would they live? What would they do?

Please explain your reasoning then, lol. Even if I took seriously your wildly laughable claim that the founding fathers may not have agreed with slavery (even though they used slaves), it still doesn't corroborate Bachman's claim that the founding fathers actually "worked tirelessly to end slavery."Quote:

Of course, we won't even bring up the fact that there WERE free black people in America (though not numerous), because that would torpedo his "no other choice" strawman.
