I'm listening to him, not reading it.

But hey I guess if another country takes you, your kids, and your grandkids, puts them in chains for 100 years or so and then treats them like 3rd class citizens for another 100 maybe we can find a couple that did well and say they were "better off"?

Don't forget white people were more than happy to buy black people and make them slaves.  

To that point though I wonder if we should consider more immigration to give these people a chance to be "better off".

Anything that puts a positive spin on slavery or the holocaust is wrong.  That really shouldn't be something anyone would argue about.
