Hillary Clinton's View of Life on a Plantation

Does anyone on the left (and blacks in particular) feel that the statement below seriously trivializes "run like a plantation"?

When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about . . . .

It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument, to be heard.
After all, does anyone remember this song being sung by slaves on the plantation?
Massa don't allow nobody with a contrary view
No, he don't give us a chance to present legislation
We can't make an argument and we can't be heard
Oh, no, Massa don't brook dissent
Me neither.

Funny stuff. See also Ace of Spades (http://ace.mu.nu/archives/152270.php) for a great Top 10 List on the same theme.
