That didn't take long: NYTimes declares Cliven Bundy a racist...w/Update: Bundy responds (video)

because he allegedly said this:

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.

“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

And what part of that statement is racist?

I could also say the same thing about a growing number of "white" people in this country who live off the government.

The real point here is the attempt to deflect us away from the actions of the BLM.  Right on schedule, the libtards throw out the race card.

And the people fall for it.  As of right now there are over 650 comments at the Washington Post arguing whether Bundy is a racist.   What the hell difference does it make - oh wait, someone already said that.

They really believe that by calling Bundy a racist, the government can seize his land, slaughter his cattle, and threaten all sorts of  unimaginable pain on him, his family, and his friends.

Don't fall for it.

If someone brings this up, look them in the eye and ask, "Exactly what part of that statement is racist?"  If they try to change the subject, and they will, bring them back over and over to the original question.

And if you ever get an answer, ask them what any of this has to do with the BLM seizing land.

Bundy responds:

For me this issue is over.  I'm going to engage in life for the rest of the day.  I completely stand by what I originally said.
