How does that imply that slavery was better?  It doesn't.  It's an insensitive thing to say, sure, but that's different from saying that slavery was better.

To infer that anything for blacks was better under slavery; the worst form of bondage you can imagine is a serious issue.

Congrats, Phil.

Yes. As usual, the language was taken totally out of context.

Apparently everything Rick does is 'out of context'; which means either he's a bad spinner or an even worse communicator.
