    Whats so crazy about this statement, I didn't look up the numbers but I'd bet that it is probably accurate.

    Dude, go and look up the work "context" she wasn't talking about slavery or saying that it was better off. She said a child born into slavery had a better chance of growing up with both parents in the same household. A clear jab at the divorce rate. You are a bigger moron than I first suspected.

    Who gives a **** if they grew up with both parents. The statement in it's entirety means that in her eyes black families (the family unit) was better off during slavery. You lap that sh!t up, like all the other idiot republicans out there. Who's the moron? Wait why am I asking that here? I'm actually glad she said it, the more she speaks the harder it's going to be for her to win. Lap it up son. And if you think that quote is accurate you are just as stupid as she and her husband are. Congrats..

    You see it that way because reading comprehension is obviously not your strong suit. MB would not be my choice but she is better than barry.

    As for who gives a **** I would bet the kids do.

    Nice way of saying most blacks still use slavery as a crutch.

    It means that only if you are looking at everything she says through a prism of "now what can I find wrong with this." I took her statement to mean that among African-Americans, the presence of the traditional family unit is regressing. Now, her choice to invoke slave times as a benchmark was politically foolish and just down-right insensitive, but I don't believe for a second that she was trying to say black American children were better off as slaves.
