Where do the Republicans get these guys?
Rep. Trent Frank (R) of Arizona is telling African Americans that they were better off under slavery than they are today. One has to wonder what part of slavery Mr. Trent thinks was "better." Does he have any idea of what slavery was like for black slaves?
In the interest of accuracy, he said: "Far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery." (The Washington Monthly)
On the other hand, this is the same clown who calls President Obama "an enemy of humanity" and "un-American." Why would we expect a man like this to understand the implications of slavery.
The really scary aspect is that someone like this was elected to Congress.
