I also think of them as the type who would be freed from slavery and then go "Wait. Sure, I was a slave, but they fed me and clothed me, put me back!" -_-

Of course they would. They did.

The Democrats have always been a highly racialist party. They've just been bouncing around between what kinds of racialism they support. What you said is the old Democratic revisionist argument for Slavery. The idea was that blacks were better off as slaves because they could be cared for more appropriately, and that civilization was brought to them through slavery.

Their welfare, corporate, and campus environments are all effectively plantations with fewer whips. That's why they look at rural communities as particularly uncivilized.
