True or False: The paternalistic view of slavery held that slavery was necessary to protect blacks from the mistreatment and abuse they would receive if they were freed. Answer: True.
Democrats are the antebellum slave owners of today. Imagine, a liberal Christian slaveholder agonizing over what would happen to his slaves if he set them free.
Ignore that he would be ostracized by his neighbors and colleagues (as Democrat and black politicians would be), the Christian slaveholder was convinced that his blacks could not fend for themselves. They were incapable, they were inferior intellectually, maybe even too lazy to survive on their own; they were like children needing care, needing to be fed, needing to be housed, needing guidance from a ruling hand.
Enter the Democrat, especially the black Democrat politician who enjoys the perks of his job. Vote for me, I'll take care of you with just enough free food and housing on the plantation. You are incapable of emancipation.
