...favoritism of slavery? Seems to me as though: They couldn't keep slavery legal, so there was an evoultion to the sharecroppers, when that was declared illegal, they went to the Jim Crowe laws, when those were declared illegal, they underpaid minorities and poor whites, and that has continued with the exception of the minimum wage laws and other worker protections, which they oppose... but they could still oppose basic benefits to the working American man, and they continue to under their opposition to health care reform... am I missing something?
