Quinn(RW Radio) stated that unlike welfare recipients, slaves "had to work" for food, housing

[RamboLiberal]

QUINN: This is by Frances Rice. You can Google this in HumanEvents.com. Just Google "Frances Rice," a black historian. Frances Rice says, "It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? Well, from its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks." Gee, you'd never know that walking through the hallways of a school today or listening to the media. "And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democratic Party is, as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation, and now, socialism."

You know, I was thinking about this. You know, if you were a slave in the old South, what did you get as a slave? You got free room and board, you got free money, and you got rewarded for having children because that was just, you know, tomorrow's slave. So, you got a free house, you got free money, and you got rewarded for having children. Can I ask a question? How's that different from welfare? You get a free house, you get free food, and you get rewarded for having children. Oh, wait a minute, hold on a second. There is a difference: The slave had to work for it.

(audio clip: buzzer, voice repeating, "Insensitivity!")

QUINN: Ah, the truth stings, does it not?

I hate that b*stard Quinn. Sorry to say he's from Pittsburgh. Rush got his start here too.

1. And if you were a black female slave

you got to be raped by the white master and then if you and the master had a child, you got to see the master sell his own flesh and blood for money.

2. And if you were a fat white DJ

You'd make a great living sitting around on your pimply ass and talking about how other people should work for their money.

3. well kind of, there is a reason for chittlins

just like nobody would think to make soup out of bird's nest unless someone else was taking the bird, or stew out of those creepy crawlies in the mud if everything else edible wasn't taken by someone with guns, someone was taking the rest of the pig and the slaves made do with the "inedible" (at least to whites) scraps.

9. Forget the fact that African-Americans were the original "illegal aliens" in that

they were kidnapped, brought here illegally as chattel, and held hostage for centuries against their will.

10. So, these people want to bring back slavery? Wouldn't surprise me.

11. Because nothing says "FREEDOM!" like having to choose to pay for either groceries or utilities!
