They love to re-write history. Anyone who thinks slavery was a good life is a sick, twisted, evil human being.
And another thing that really boils my blood is the idea that giving help to people makes them lazy. 
That belief is just a self-serving way to blow off the responsibility we have of helping our fellow human beings. Do all those Republican "Christians" realize this stupid idea goes 180 degrees against everything Jesus taught? I never once read in the Bible that we should withhold help from people in need because it might make them lazy!! It's just so very racist to believe that black people don't have the same pride and ambition to make a good life for themselves that most people do. I'm sure the vast majority of people, black, white or otherwise, would much prefer a way to earn a decent living than having to depend on outside help but when people need a hand up, a decent, civilized society offers it to them.
