Why did John McCain and his campaign characterize and describe the descendants of his ancestors Slave-holding ways as being the result of "Family, Love and Compassion"? Are we to suppose John McCain the Republican Presidential candidate is defending American Slavery as being Loving and Compassionate?

John McCain's Mississippi ancestors were Slaveholders, beneficiaries of American Slavery. The descendants of those Slaves, those Black McCain's are going about their own experience of the American Political-Economy.
