Hagee got in trouble for saying that Jewish people should be grateful for the Holocaust.
Compare that to what happened when Pat Buchanan spewed forth:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.
Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
There was outrage, but only from Blacks, well some Blacks.
Today as I was listening to The Larry Young Morning Show on WOLB, he mentioned that he was part of a panel discussion on race and talk media. Rev. Mushmouth Jesse Lee Peterson said Blacks should be grateful that we were brought over as slaves and that the ride over was rough but no rougher than a crowed airline flight. Larry Young played an audio clip to prove the statement made.

Whenever I read statements
Whenever I read statements like the one Buchanan made I have to remind myself that it is not meant to be satire. Buchanan is on MSNBC five nights a week dispensing political wisdom although he believes that black folks should be grateful for being enslaved.
Peterson is like the
Peterson is like the enabler-in-chief!
Just getting the slaves from the interior of west Africa to the Americas led to the death of 10 million Africans at a conservative estimate.
Then slavery.
Then the Jim Crow era or "slavery under another name."
Nobody complains because very few people know the true history - and even that's about racism
