This is much ADO about nothing. Nobody in their right mind ever wants to see slavery anywhere again. And Cliven Bundy's mind is working just fine.
 
This is just an Old Coots small town verbiage, tinctured with a lack of diplomacy, asking if poor Blacks really think they are better off. For they are still on the Democrats plantation. But instead of picking cotton - they now must hand in a bumper crop of Votes.
 
We still support Cliven Bundy's situation without supporting his lack of diplomacy and small town verbiage.
One does not negate the other.

Blacks are worse off today under Obama.  Where is the media?

Yeah.  Why is it that you anti government types are also bigots?

 
Actually, its you that is the Bigot.  You are the Archie Bunkers of the world... 

You claim its the Right that demean Blacks while at the same time you tell blacks they are not as smart as whites by making tests easier.

Common Core is the Dumbing down of everyone so that there are no longer any smarter kids to make the slower kids "feel" less about themselves.

 

Reagan was a far better friend to black Americans than Barack Obama has been. Just compare the Reagan and Obama records.

Syndicated columnist Joseph Perkins penned an editorial in yesterday's San Diego Union-Tribune that highlights some of the good things that the late former president Ronald Reagan did for black America.


Andrew Brimmer, the Harvard-trained black economist, the former Federal Reserve Board member, estimated that total black business receipts increased from $12.4 billion in 1982 to $18.1 billion in 1987, translating into an annual average growth rate of 7.9 percent (compared to 5 percent for all U.S. businesses.

Black social scientist Bart Landry estimated that that upwardly mobile cohort grew by a third under Reagan's watch, from 3.6 million in 1980 to 4.8 million in 1988. His definition was based on employment in white-collar jobs as well as on income levels.


Indeed, between 1982 and 1988, total black employment increased by 2 million, a staggering sum. That meant that blacks gained 15 percent of the new jobs created during that span, while accounting for only 11 percent of the working-age population.


Meanwhile, the black jobless rate was cut by almost half between 1982 and 1988. Over the same span, the black employment rate – the percentage of working-age persons holding jobs – increased to record levels, from 49 percent to 56 percent.


These statistics are equally matched by gains by black executives across the board.

 The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reported that the number of black managers and officers in corporations with 100 or more employees increased by 30 percent between 1980 and 1985.During the same period, the number of black professionals increased by an astounding 63 percent.
 
How call all of this be? To hear black so-called leaders tell it, the clock was turned back as a result of Ronald Reagan. To hear these so-called leaders tell it, joblessness skyrocketed as a result of Reagan. To hear these so-called leaders tell it, blacks were forced to the back of the bus.

Based on these and other statistics, the opposite is true.


The one thing -- the only thing -- that these so-called leaders can point at is that Ronald Reagan was [gasp] a Republican!


And in order to keep the masses doing what they want them to do, they have to paint the GOP as "evil." When nothing could be further from the truth...

Getting back to the topic at hand:

It's you that a bigot.  No, you are the bigot.  Fuck you, I'm not the bigot, you are.  Bullshit, no you are the bigot. You're full of shit, I'm not a bigot, you are. ~~ yadda, yadda, yadda...

 
Glad somebody finally got the point...

"It really don’t matter to me if you twist my words out," Bundy said at the end of his press conference. "It matters that my heart goes out to the people of this world, and they understand what I stand for."
Bundy initially denied the comments in an interview with radio host Alex Jones (http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/04/cliven-bundy-racist-rant-video.html?mid=google). But after video of his full comments surfaced, he doubled down on his remarks on Thursday, saying in a radio interview with Peter Schiff (http://therightscoop.com/breaking-cliven-bundy-responds-to-charges-of-racism-the-statement-was-right/):
 
“That’s exactly what I said. I said I’m wondering if they’re better off under government subsidy, and their young women are having the abortions and their young men are in jail, and their older women and their children are standing, sitting out on the cement porch without nothing to do, you know, I’m wondering: Are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were when they were slaves, and they was able to have their family structure together, and the chickens and garden, and the people had something to do? And so, in my mind I’m wondering, are they better off being slaves, in that sense, or better off being slaves to the United States government, in the sense of the subsidies. I’m wondering. That’s what. And the statement was right. I am wondering.”

“Now, let me talk about the Spanish people. You know, I understand that they come over here against our Constitution and cross our borders. But they are here and they are people. And I’ve worked side by side with a lot of them. Don’t tell me they don’t work and don’t tell me they don’t pay taxes," Bundy said. "And don’t tell me they don’t have better family structures than most of us white people. ... We need to have those people join us and be with us, not not come to our party.”


 

It's a racist thought and a racist idea.


That's why no sane person would utter it in public - particularly to the press. 


Who, but a racist would publicly utter such a statement? 


I've heard the recording of Clive's statement...Clive was anxious to have his say.  He wasn't tricked or manipulated.  Just too stupid to realize that only people who think like jim would make excuses for him.


All youse aesops biggots know...you can spout your chit to your circle of biggoted friends, or on this anonymous board environment, but would never have the balls to say so to a reporter with a video camera.  Hell, none of youse people have the balls to have your biggoted views and image uploaded to You Tube, where people you know would see you.

 
Like I said:  This is just an Old Coots using small town verbiage, tinctured with a lack of diplomacy. 
He knows what he's trying to say, he just does not have the right words to say it. 
 
And the Left is using that against him, as we know they are very capable of doing.
 
 

The Right has spent the better part of a week elevating Clive to Hero status.
 
or did you miss that?
 
 
lots of posts on it here at your aesops board.
 
you even participated in those posts.
 
 
 
now, you wish to disassociate yourself from your Hero and claim it's much to do about nothing.
 
 
your intellectual dishonesty is showing dude.

Who, but a racist would publicly utter such a statement?
 
WHO..! A man with COURAGE you can't possibly comprehend.
 
If you want to see a real racist look in the Whitehouse or the attorney generals office
 
 

 
You don't know what you're talking about...
 
We still support Cliven Bundy's situation without supporting his lack of diplomacy and small town verbiage.
One does not negate the other.

Bundy knows what he was trying to say, and you know what he was trying to say.  But you just want to capitalize on his lack of proper words to get his point across.  Thus, it is you that is both disingenuous and intellectualy dishonest.  Well, except for you "intellectual" doesn't even enter the picture..

Harry Reid is an educated an articulate, allbeit evil, Senator. He said that Obama's advantage is that he only looks light black and doesn't sound black, and liberals are fine with that. A Nevada rancher compares the liberal demands and expectaions of voter loyalty to slavery of old, but since he isn't liberal, the left is ready to lynch him? Does anyone know what alligator tears are?

Yup! Reid basically said Obama was white enough to run for president. But, things like that aren't racist when spoken by a dem. Imagine that.

The thing is, the BLM did not come down on Bundy and hundreds of others with military tactics because Bundy was going to talk to the press about the plight of blacks two weeks into the future.

Character assassination, after the fact, doesn't change the horrible actions of the BLM and the patriotism evidenced at Bunkerville.  Not one little bit.  Keep your eye on the ball.

The standoff was something larger than one man.
