Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, ‘unchain Wall Street.’
They’re going to put y’all back in chains.
Biden was telling his black audience that a Romney-Ryan administration would put the people to whom he was speaking (“y’all”), i.e., black people, back in chains. What other meaning could his statement possibly carry?

Biden's remarks were certainly ill advised, but both sides seem to be playing low and dirty.

Quote:
Romney wrapped up his own bus tour Tuesday, closing the trip with a sweeping indictment of Obama's campaign. "Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago," he said in Chillicothe, Ohio, insisting that Obama had abandoned his 2008 campaign's messages of hope and change.
And the fun is only just beginning...

He's accurate. Conservatives and repubicans want a cheap labor force, and want to keep all the power and money for themselves. They even want to keep the vote to themselves!
