Gotta be Moore’s Campaign Manager, I guess.


If what he said was true and there’s context, even if Moore meant no malice, what an incredibly stupid thing to say. He clearly was only thinking about white families, which is probably pretty telling when you think about it.

And then there’s the fact that white slave owners would cheat on their wives with black slaves. Usually by rape.

Oh yeah. Good times.

I would not support Moore going by what I see of his character and I cant speak for the people of Alabama.
Moore did refer to specific time period. "Even though we had slavery", references a specific time in American history. That is what he said. You're argument is both pedantic and obtuse. That's quite an achievement.

Yes, regardless of context, it's very telling.

Certainly not surprising - but definitely telling.

Its like seeing those snip its of phone video. You have no idea the events leading up to the moment or what followed.
How can it not be in reference to a time period? We had slavery in this country until the Civil War. After the Civil War we didn't have slavery. That's a clear dichotomy in the timeline of this nation.

I thought the greatest period in our country's history was the 1950s? We didn't have slavery then, but we did have Jim Crow.

Just think most of these conservatives are supposedly religious people. Lots of hypocrites out there in the religious community.

The part about slave owners raping black slaves?

Is this a serious question?

Pick up a book sometime.
