Yeah, it's pretty crazy. By the standard of these 3/5 whiners, the slaveholders considered slaves their equals (because they wanted to count them as 1/1), while the anti-slavery people considered slaves ass nothing (because they did not want to count them at all).
For some, it's ignorance, but for others, I'm sure it's just their eternal grievance-mongering.
