quote:
read up on Michele Bachmann she can tell you about it, especially about how blacks had it better during slavery than under a Black Anti-American president.
Since the US slave trade was not around when the bible was written, it has nothing to do with the pledge Bachmann signed.
And here is the funny part....
quote:
The original "marriage vow" from the Family Leader, unveiled last week, included a line at the opening of its preamble, which suggested that black children born into slavery were better off in terms of family life than African-American kids born today.
........................
"We came up with the pledge and so we had no idea that people would misconstrue that," she said. "It was not meant to be racist or anything. it was just a fact that back in the days of slavery there was usually a husband and a wife...we were not saying at all that things are better for African-American children in slavery days than today."

Does no one realize marriage between slaves was illegal?
quote:
the institution of slavery didn't recognize the very concept of "family" among captive Blacks. Marriage between slaves was, after all, illegal. And parents and children were routinely separated, forever, at the auction block.

And, yeah, I have read the bible, front to back.
