The context which has been used during the past years does nothing more than piss afro American off who legally vote in elections. It infuriates them and has caused grief on this cause using comparison to slavery has the reverse effect. He could of used 1000 different comparison but he wants to put the two together to have people think the illegal immigration debate has the same likening to slavery. Slavery is fireball issue about taking civil rights has nothing to do with Illegal immirgration. For example look what happened in Kosovo when group of illegals came in and started demanding civil rights in a country not of there own. This would be a better comparison.
