"On growing up in pre-civil-rights-era Louisiana
“I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field.... They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!... Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."

A&E is just as bad as Fox "News".

1. You know what would happen to any

uppity blacks who complained. They would encounter the end of a rope. Who is this idiot?

3. This idiot is a mistake that needed to be removed 150 years ago.

2. Someone here once said, "Keeping your eyes shut is worse than being blind."

Obviously fits here. Not complaining, singing, and pretending to be happy is what helped a lot of blacks survive in America.

6. 100% right. Thread winner. nt

[Arkansas Granny]

4. To quote Paul Simon, "Still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest".

18. indeed n/t

[riqster]

5. Well, he's a Fundagelical wingnut, so no surprise there.

7. Are we gonna have another Paula Deem moment?

That show is really popular, wonder if the bubble is about to burst. Seems the PR people should know by now to have handlers advise these people on their public musings.

[MrScorpio]

8. I don't think so

I'm sure that just about all of the people who watch his show feel the same way. Not to mention the lack of any Black employees, which would create inconvenient photo ops, were they dressed as Antebellum servants.

His meal ticket is safe for now.

9. Pre-entitlement....

I presume the entire Robertson clan is returning their social security checks once they receive them?

[Initech]

10. Well that's all I need to know to never endorse, watch, or buy Duck Dynasty garbage.

[Capt. Obvious]

11. But wait, there's more!

He goes off on homosexuals and non-christians too.

[theHandpuppet]

12. Yep, he's the whole package all right...

... a sack full of sh*t.

[ellie]

13. Again, who gives two fucks what this moron thinks?

He is on a popular tv show, I get that. But he has no more influence anyone else on tv. A moron is a moron.

[Cheap_Trick]

14. One thing he called right:

"White trash" indeed.

Never watched that celebration of white trash, never will.

Same goes for Honey Boo Boo.

15. This guy is a total fraud, in addition to being a bigot.

Here he is as a college football star in the 60's, before he came up with the bearded, backwoods gimmick:

and here is son Will before he traded his yuppie threads and bleached coiffure for camo and Hatfields and McCoys beard:

19. The second picture demonstrates that Willie was once respectable.

[Octafish]

16. What mistreatment?

[alp227]

17. White privilege much?

And conservatives will give Phil pats on the back, unlike liberal celebrities who express political opinions.

[Iggo]

20. Ain't racists just the bestest?

[PM Martin]

21. Typical redneck.

Raised in the fraudulent cult of "fire and brimstone".


Black people deserve every right to have opportunity and respect as all do. This inbred can live in denial all he wants, that does not dismiss the network that gives this bigot airtime from liability.
