Sweet Jesus, thank you for making me a slave or else I would never have found salvation.

A Republican member of the Arkansas state senate’s self-published memoir claims that for black people in America, slavery was a “blessing in disguise,” that, if they were physically hardy enough to survive it, “someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.”

Jon Hubbard - He Thinks

Oh, so that’s what they mean about God working in mysterious ways.

And, least you think  Jon Hubbard is just a brilliant philosopher, he has a mean side, too.

Hubbard also believes that black Americans’ lives would “be more enjoyable and successful if they would only learn to appreciate the value of a good education.”

And while he sees “the blacks” as a pressing problem facing America, the real threat, he wrote, comes from immigrants, “legal and illegal,” who will eventually have to be rounded up and killed.

“(T)he immigration issue, both legal and illegal… will lead to planned wars or extermination,” said Hubbard on page 9 of Letters to the Editor. “Although now this seems to be barbaric and uncivilized, it will at some point become as necessary as eating and breathing.”

I wonder if it sounds nicer in German.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up about things I didn’t want to know.
