3917...And They All Had Jobs Too

She didn't mention that.

She is Minnesota Congressperson Michelle Bachman who The Root reports signed an a typical conservative pledge called "The Marriage Vow -- A Declaration of Dependence Upon Marriage and Family." It's your basic pro church, pro family, anti abortion bullsh*t that yer Tea Party types. One of the paragraphs in the pledge has the tinted folks all up in arms:

Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA's first African-American President.


Besides the fact that the above sentence leaves out the fact that Mommy, Daddy or Baby could be sold down the river [selling slaves down the river was a key part of Virginia's economy]it is also a big lie.

President Bachman, fer sure.
