We kid you not:

Far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery.

As the original material source suggests (and reasonably, if one listens to the actual audio of the statement), it seems that Representative Trent Franks did not really mean the comment as racist, “paternalistic” or as an insult. But the statement is rather incredible, regardless.

Here’s guessing that “far more” if not all of the people who are “African American” prefer the “policies to today” to slavery, and that a lot of people, perhaps rightly so, would take great offense at Frank’s statement.
