That guys a racist then, if he thinks slavery meant employment for black peoples. What about the Irish slaves?
Although in my book employment today does have some slavery parts to it. Especially the 15% that is stolen from the laborers and employers. Though better than holding back 100% of the wages in the form of slavery.
Sick and vary stupid arsehat pos he is.

Clyburn is only defending his plantation … he needs poor blacks indoctrinated in the victim mentality used by the demon-crats to keep power, no way can he afford to let his constituency find out that the whole black hustle is a lie.
Although his net worth is shown as only A few million, he's done a very good job of spreading government money through out his family and friends.
Clyburn has been U.S. Representative for South Carolina's 6th congressional district since 1993.
"It was specifically created in a re-districting as a majority-black district. Rural counties of historical black belt in South Carolina make up much of the district, but it sweeps south to include most of the majority-black precincts in and around Charleston, and sweeps west to include most of the majority-black precincts in and around Columbia. In all of its configurations, its politics have been dominated by black voters in the Columbia and Charleston areas."
KING OF SCHEMES- Clyburn devised more schemes than any other South Carolina Representative and was one of the top earmarkers in Congress

Nope, he may not be the brightest bulb in the pack, but he is an expert at living the good life and keeping the rest of the tribe stirred up and keeping his power.

Not arguing with you, and I also understand what you mean in a general sense.
However, in a specific sense, that's pretty much a Northern Abolitionist POV. And today is a Progressive Liberal POV.
First of all understand that there were good and bad on both sides. And even with what I am about to share, blacks still didn't really want to be slaves.
They did "earn" money. With good crop production the "owner" would "give" money to his slaves. And the owner would also allow his slaves to earn money on the side, by doing work for others. In this manner they could purchase items for themselves, and in most cases also purchase their spouse for themselves (in effect making them free).
In some cases the slave actually worked for someone else for money and a portion of which went to the owner, and the rest was kept by the "pimped" slave. The best Captain on the Potomac River, notice I said "Captain" was a slave, for a land lover, who was about to purchase his wife from another owner, but that owner was about to sell her to someone else, so he "stole" her and they ran away.
Concerning benefits: Southern Slaves were some of the most healthy people in the world, well taken care of by their owners. Living conditions was well above those for factory workers in the north. Housing sq. ft. was larger, mortality rate was less, calorie intake was more than northern factory workers. All well documented. And even compared to most of the rest of the world.
And the old slave wasn't killed or sold off, they were allowed to "stay on the plantation". Housed and fed, with medical attention. In appreciation for long years of service. All of which is well documented.
Believe it or not slaves were considered by most white owners as extended family.
With all this "well documented" why isn't this the story?
It doesn't fit the "white supremacy" theory narrative of the Progressive Liberal screamers, and has been perpetuated since about 1965. Notice the difference in "Gone with the Wind" produced in 1939 was hailed as one of the best movie's ever, then, and now if you like it (Trump) you're a racist.
So if there were so many good things about being a slave why was it bad? You were denied freedom.
Did we fight a war for that purpose? Absolutely not. Another Progressive Liberal narrative.

yet more MEGA TRUTH SHOUTED LOUDLY . . . these folks - although slaves - were cared for and cared about. I'm NOT making slavery right - I'm simply stating that as has been said here before - these folks fared much better HERE in America - even as slaves - than they would have back in the mother land. further - it can be accurately stated with 110% certainty their descendants - the modern day black folks here in America hit the lottery

Just when were you a slave Mr. Clyburn? You must be waaaay too ancient to hold public office.

Just as a side note: Republican Reconstruction was devastating for both blacks and whites.

Certa Bonum Certamen
"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs - partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."
