patty is a meathead

Writing about the Jeremiah Wright controversy, Pat Buchanan comes awfully close to saying African-Americans should be glad they were kidnapped and made slaves in the United States:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.

I wonder why no one is talking about this strange essay, penned by a man that is not, in most ways, a peripheral figure.
