CPAC Participant Defends Slavery At Minority Outreach Panel:
It Gave ‘Food And Shelter’ To Blacks

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland — A panel at the Conservative Political Action
Committee on Republican minority outreach exploded into controversy on
Friday afternoon, after an audience member defended slavery as good for
African-Americans.

The exchange occurred after an audience member from North Carolina,
30-year-old Scott Terry, asked whether Republicans could endorse races
remaining separate but equal. After the presenter, K. Carl Smith of
Frederick Douglass Republicans, answered by referencing a letter by
Frederick Douglass forgiving his former master, the audience member said
“For what? For feeding him and housing him?” Several people in the
audience cheered and applauded Terry’s outburst.

After the exchange, Terry muttered under his breath, “why can’t we just
have segregation?” noting the Constitution’s protections for freedom of
association.

ThinkProgress spoke with Terry, who sported a Rick Santorum sticker and
attended CPAC with a friend who wore a Confederate Flag-emblazoned
t-shirt, about his views after the panel. Terry maintained that white
people have been “systematically disenfranchised” by federal legislation.

When asked by ThinkProgress if he’d accept a society where
African-Americans were permanently subservient to whites, he said “I’d
be fine with that.” He also claimed that African-Americans “should be
allowed to vote in Africa,” and that “all the Tea Parties” were
concerned with the same racial problems that he was.

At one point, a woman challenged him on the Republican Party’s roots, to
which Terry responded, “I didn’t know the legacy of the Republican Party
included women correcting men in public.”

He claimed to be a direct descendent of Confederate President Jefferson
Davis.

The panel continued to be racked in controversy, as an African-American
audience member repeatedly challenged the racism on display at this
event. CPAC is the marquee conservative conference of the year, with
speakers ranging from former Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney to
Senator Marco Rubio.
