Bundy owed the government more than $1 million in grazing fees for running his cattle on public land, but he disparaged the “Negro” who lived in government housing and “didn’t have nothing to do.” Black people’s laziness led them to abort their children and send their young men to jail, he told a reporter, and he wondered: “are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life… or are they better off under government subsidy?”

This answers a lot of questions. I found this particularly informative, because I grew up in a radio broadcasting family, and not spreading lies on the airwaves was a given to me that was rather common sense.
