House Representative: "Slavery was a blessing in disguise"
Quote:
“… the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.”
I remember an ATRL member saying something vaguely similar.
This isn't the first time I've heard mess like that. "Slavery actually helped the black people cuz now they live in the civilized America instead of in mud huts in Africa."
Speechless
