It think Bundy's statement would be more correct to say: "Blacks have less
freedom under socialist imprisionment than they did as slaves."
You will find some blacks agree with Bundy's statements, he is not saying
that slavery is a good thing, he is saying that what we have is a bad thing.
The very first group of black women I met would agree with Bundy that their
families are improsioned and starving to death because of socialism.
There is much more to life than food stamps.
