of the highest order. Let's not make excuses for slavery or try to soften its ugliness. A slave woman has no choice. If it was a matter of choice, we would see black men and white women getting together, and we know that didn't happen since looking at a white woman could get a black man killed.

I love this country. It is the best in the world. It fought a war to end slavery. Let's not talk nonsense about fluid race lines and slave women and their owners becoming lovers, as if a slave woman could be courted and say no and her owner would bring her flowers and get down on one knee and propose and ask her father's permission. Puh - lease!
