But it is racist to say what he said in the present time, given the historical perspective we have on the whole black history in America thing.

I've never seen photos of white slaves in shackles.
If black slaves were the only slaves then that's racist, even back then. There were also Chinese slaves back then called coolies.
There were laws about what whites could allow their slaves to do and if those laws were broken the slave owner was punished. Even if you were not racist you were forced to be by law
Or am I missing something? It's quite possible I am I'm really hungover lol
