I took the grenade for you guys. The scary part is that his statements around the slavery thing make me wonder if he ever paid attention in history class.
He's like, it started small, it didn't start overseas. Then the court got involved... And he proceeds to ramble on about how the ebil gubment is somehow responsible for the slave trade, despite the fact that...you know...the government actually worked the way it was supposed to, and slavery was a state matter, not federal. Then, of course, there's also the fact that it didn't start out overseas to begin with, but rather went overseas when everyone's Native American slaves kept running away...
I stopped listening after he started rambling about how the government brought slavery to the US.
Of course, any ramble that starts with "they're changing education," as if a) education wasn't already government-run (at least largely, as in public schools, which is what the changes are mainly for), and b) there's actually nothing wrong with the current state of American education. That, of course, is a matter I won't even go into here.
