Man who defended slavery at CPAC says he's a descendant confederate president Jefferson Davis
and he didn't want to throw his ancestors under the bus:
<...>
The session's moderator, K Carl Smith, described himself as a "Frederick Douglass Republican", an audience member interjected. "When Douglass came through slavery … he [wrote] a letter to his former slave master and said: 'I forgive you for all the things you did to me'," Smith said.
From the floor, Scott Terry, pictured, asked: "For giving him shelter and food for all those years?"
The comment drew gasps from the crowd, and Smith moved quickly to try and defuse the situation, using a microphone to drown out the protests of another audience member. The controversy overshadowed the rest of the session, a breakout panel from the main conference. At one point, Smith initially refusing to take a question from a young black woman who objected to Terry's remarks.
After the session, Terry, 30, claimed to the Guardian that he was a direct descendant of former confederate president Jefferson Davis, and that he was "not prepared to throw all my ancestors under the bus".
Asked if he disagreed with slavery, Terry described it as a "complicated issue. I can't make one broad statement that categorically it was evil all the time because that's not true". Asked to clarify his comments about "shelter and food", Terry said: "The slaves couldn't just work without being supplied quarters and all that. And you couldn't just … it's not legal to murder a slave. Slaves even had rights under the old south."
