Roy Moore: Last Time America Was 'Great' Was During 'Slavery'

Answering a question asked of him by an African American. The GOP must be so proud.

I wonder if that's the time trump thinks of as America last being great was also. I've tried asking that question on this forum of trump voters - when was America last great? - but can never get a straight answer.

You can't make this stuff up. This actually seems to be a theme among conservatives. Conservative antihero Cliven Bundy is on record saying he thought blacks were better off under slavery

We know everything offends you if at all possible. I'll bet you could find subliminal meaning in a restaurant menu.
The economy is booming. I know it's annoying.

So you seriously think telling an African American that America was last great when slavery was legal was a good idea? Wow.

I sure he romanticizes about the part of slavery where a "respectable man" could go to the town square and buy a 15 year old girl to take home.

Moore continues to play to the trump base in Alabama, not an insignificant group. It is very sad that racists continue to gain strength in the US, thanks to trump. It is now OK to say racist things in public, to say sexist things in public, to outright lie and get away with it.

He was referring to a period in our history---not specifically about slavery. I missed the part where he was telling an African American about this.

Can't convince you, but most people don't wake up every morning and think about slavery. Growing up, I never had slaves, but it's still going on in East Africa and regions of the Middle East.

How about redirecting your anger toward something that's actually happening now, instead of harping about the White boogeyman.

Well that still happens today, human trafficking and the buying/ selling of sex slaves is a huge industry, only difference is, it happens more in secret and over the internet today instead of the town square, Im sure plenty of wealthy and powerful old men from both sides of the aisle (or no side at all) buy and sell 15 yr olds. I would actually say it happens more today than in the past, as the internet allows them to hide in the shadows.

Besides that, there is not a time in history that someone could not find at least something that is now frowned upon. Some would say the 50s were the greatest time, but women and black people would probably not agree, same thing applies to any other time period thru out history.
