Sometimes I dream that I'm lying awake in bed.
How often in real life do I get to be a python chasing a pussycat through a donut tunnel on the way to a hot dog eating contest?
Or having mint juleps with your gay black neighbor on his plantation while watching all the Republican bigots and racists pick his cotton.
According to Cliven Bundy, picking cotton in the blistering sun is a recreational activity. The one's kicking back in the shade and drinking the cool beverages are the enslaved victims.
That is very Rove-esque quote. You have a twisted sense of humor, I love it! This truly the most disturbing thing I have seen in a while, although CNN loves painting him as a conservative, he is just an a-hole;
On Thursday, in an exclusive interviewwith CNN's Bill Weir, Bundy was asked to elaborate on his remarks. He explained he'd been simply "wondering whether (blacks) are that much better off in the situation we're in now."
He backtracked somewhat, insisting he "didn't really mean it to compare (African-Americans' current plight) with slavery. I meant to compare it with maybe life on the farm or life in the South, where they had some chickens and the gardens, and they had something to do."
At the same time, Bundy stood by his general premise that blacks once had better lives -- stating that, right now, "they don't have nothing to do with their children, their family unit is ruined. ... That's what I was referring to. I don't think they have the life that they should have" because of the government.
Makes for good TV I guess.
I find it interesting that most people don't understand what makes those statements racist is the fact that he is painting all black people in the same light. Plenty, if not the majority, of black people have plenty to do and have perfectly fine family structures in place.
