Phil Robertson also talked about racism in the south in his controversial GQ interview, which got him suspended from A&E’s “Duck Dynasty.”
Asked whether he witnessed racism in the pre-Civil Rights south, the Louisiana native said, “I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once.”
The reality star shared, “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.”
Robertson continued, “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.”
As Gossip Cop previously reported, the Duck Commander businessman bashed gay people as sinners in his sitdown with the mag.
