I Cant Believe I'm Writing This, But: "In Defense of Phil Robertson"

[DINGO Joe]

Turns out he shared his opinions about the Negroes too:

"I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once," the reality star said of growing up in pre-Civil-Rights-era Louisiana. "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!"

Robertson continued, "Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."

Duck Dynasty's real crime is that the show is actually really boring.

"Hey"

[DINGO Joe]

The more recent statement, while dumb and sheltered (no LA blacks were singing the blues in the 50's and 60's? That's metaphorically and litterally incorrect as hell), wasn't overtly racist in a hateful and n-word overt kind of way. Duck Dynasty is a white hot mega-franchise that isn't likely to be sunk by these gaffes.

Saying blacks were happier before civil rights is racist, and if he doesn't comprehend why they didn't share their discontent with him, well then he's more than a little dense.
