Just goes to show that Jena, Louisiana is not the only place where rednecks
and ignorant crackers reside. This person is so ignorant that I would not
consider him at the level of poor ignorant trash. 

A slave has no rights just as Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court stated
in Plessey v. Ferguson, a colored man has no rights a white person is
obligated to observe....

So why would someone want to be a slave?

Material quality of life is what kept free blacks in the US rather than  
going back to the jungle lifestyle they came from.
