Cliven Bundy's other America

Cliven Bundy, obviously no relation to Al Bundy only twice removed, rides into America's race relations debate, like a modern day Ben Cartwright another illustrious pioneer of the great state of Nevada. Much aligned by the powers that be, for refusing to bend on his ownership and entrepreneurial freedoms. The fray has propelled Bundy to national attention and qualified him as a celebrity spokesperson for whats more suitable, for millions and millions of poor indigent Americans, relief  or Slavery. However sincere his beliefs or his apology, the shamefulness of his remarks, only masks the ignorant, privileged prevalent  prevailing prejudice poisoning our country. A statement casually made that can in an instant lay the blame of  the past predicament of  millions upon millions of  concentration camp like captives of a global business and capital endeavor 500 years ago and simultaneously blame the majority of their descendants on their own doing , can only be made by a descendant of the people, culture, rulers, owners and CEO's who were enriched doing it half a millennium ago and those same doing it now.
