"In this country, we had slavery for God knows how long. And now we look back on it and we say “How brave were they? What was the matter with them? You know, I can’t believe, you know, four million slaves. This is incredible.” And we’re right, we’re right. We should look back on that with criticism. It is a crushing mark on America’s soul. And yet today, half of all black children are aborted. Half of all black children are aborted. Far more of the African-American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by policies of slavery. And I think, What does it take to get us to wake up?" It was from an interview on the stark blog, it seems the GOP is taking on abortion in more urban areas trying to convince Blacks that abortion is making them endangered and when they where slaves they did not have abortions, thus more children

A representative... Is he on the city council for Sagebrush Bluff, or is he on the water rights committee for Sandy Acres Estates.... Why can't Liberals ever provide links. Is it because they make everything up? And you know, just because a person says something is worse than something else doesn't mean that person is in favor of the first thing.

Franks is a US Congressman, as if you didn't know. http://www.starkreports.com/ Includes video of the Congressman saying exactly what is quoted above, amongst other disgusting attitudes.

Not a very good comparison, but the impact of the "good intentions" programs on the black community has been very bad. It's clear that's what he was trying to say, but not a good way to say it.

Its clear enough to anyone of average intelligence what he was trying to get at, but our friends on the left just aren't happy unless they've manufactured their excuse to hyperventilate first thing every morning...

You actively look for things to argue about, don't you?

Well, since the facts prove you're wrong, I guess it's all Obama's fault,
