"Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President."
A two parent household, Michelle, even for you that's a pretty astounding proposition. It's like Michelle believes that there these little slave condos where "families" gathered in their off-time.
Michelle, when slave married by choice more often than not they didn't even live on the same property as several slaves explained:
"I did not want to marry a girl belonging to my own place, because I knew I could not bear to see her ill-treated."
John Anderson
"no colored man wishes to live at the house where his wife lives, for he has to endure the continual misery of seeing her flogged and abused without daring to say a word in her defence."
Moses Grandy
"If my wife must be exposed to the insults and licentious passions of wicked slave-drivers and overseers. Heaven forbid that I should be compelled to witness the sight."
Henry Bibb
Life of a Slave, in 1843.
And Michelle, when you consider that most slave marriages were the equivalent of kennel owner pair off a pedigree ***** with a prized stud, yeah being married in a two-family household would be the rule of the day, despite the fact that such marriages had no legal binding and over a third were liquidated by owner fiat.
But then again Michelle, why would we expect you to get the history of antebellum slavery any more right than who was born in Waterloo, or where the Lexington of Concord by be.
You should post a link so you don't get accused of plagiarism, or lying.
By the way, are you liberals now going to start attacking Bachmann for every little comment she makes? If that's the case, thank you for giving her the spotlight!
She's not praising slavery, she's condemning the destruction of the black family and using a shocking fact to make her point.
Many others have made this comment before. It's true. I find it funny that you focus your anger not on the destruction of the black family, but the twisting of a point made by a random person.

Using liberals as an insult really undermines your credibility as a poster.
Why can't the OP just be reflecting on the politician's poor choice of words, irregardless of affiliation.
What "shocking fact" would that be? The illusion that slaves actually lived in neat little two family shacks in the back of the plantation?
I'll concede that it wasn't the best analogy. But black families were much more intact during Jim Crow. You know, real racism.

She's a person just like any other person. You should be pissed off at the destruction of black communities more than her. She doesn't control those communities.
But of course rather than address the actual issues you point the finger at someone who may not use the best choice of words when actually addressing the issues.
This is also a religious thing. She seems to be saying either you have your nucleus family or society is doomed...
Being white she should be particularly careful what she says. Take out the white trash before you patronize minorities...

What part was insulting/ I think you're the only one in this entire forum that thinks THAT post was even remotely insulting.

Actually, ovcatto, anything you summarize, paraphrase, or quote that is NOT your work, and you don't cite it, is plagiarism. Not to mention, it is also a violation of the TOS
