Today\’s quote comes to us from what turns out to be a truly despicable source: Nevada rancher cliven bundy.
This, according to Adam Nagourney\’s article for the New York Times, is what bundy has to say about Black people:
“Iwant to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro…in front of that government house the door was usuallyopen and the older people and the kids – and there is always atleast a half a dozen people sitting on the porch – they didn\’thave nothing to do. They didn\’t have nothing for their kids to do.They didn\’t have nothing for their young girls to do.
“Andbecause they were basically on government subsidy, so now what dothey do? They abort their young children, they puttheir young men in jail, because they never learned how to pickcotton. And I\’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves,picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are theybetter off under government subsidy? They didn\’t get no morefreedom. They got less freedom.”
You may agree with the Bundy family\’s claims on that grazing land or disagree with them. You may condemn, or look the other way, at Senator Harry Reid\’s son\’s designs on that land for his big solar deal with China.
But no matter where you are on any of this, let\’s understand that bundy is a stone cold ignorant racist jerk of the first order.
cliven bundy wins Quote Of The Day honors for making his stone cold ignorant racism so clear. I hope he\’s proud of it.
To the Bureau of Land Management – you should leave this man among his cattle…if, for no other reason, so that he has the opportunity to commune with creatures of a similar intelligence level.
