I heard some audio today on the radio as I was driving...and in CONTEXT of that audio, he said that the way black people were being thrown in jail by the govt. that they were better off as slaves.
I don't think he was being "racist", I think he was trying to make a point. But of course everybody was just waiting for him to say ANYTHING and he was toast.
Did you hear the actual thing he said in context? And is that what he did say? That with black men being thrown in jail so much they were better off as slaves?
If so, then he has a point. The percentage of young black men being imprisoned is outrageous. And in prison...hell, they may as well be in slavery.

Wouldn't being in jail be better than having to work all day, get whipped, have your women raped, get hung in a tree? Slaves didn't have a choice, and I don't how you could try to validate this clown's point in any way at all.
He was talking like someone who has never been around a black person before. He sounded like what an old white fart living in the Nevada desert would sound like. An ignorant old bastard is probably a better label.
More of the proof of racism comes from how he thinks about the "non-existence" of the government. The roots of that line of thinking come from post civil war southerners who didn't want the feds interfering with their horrible treatment of blacks -- and it's a legacy concept that white supremacy groups stick with today. Ask any white supremacist if he recognizes the US government. His response will sound something like this Bundy idiot.
