A Lot Went On Behind The Scenes Of Duck Dynasty, And It Wasn’t Pretty

Phil Robertson Called For Jim Crowe Era Treatment Of Blacks

In December 2013, Phil Robertson turned his attention away from his massive homophobia for a moment to reflect on how great black people had it during the Jim Crowe days in America. Robertson claimed, “I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once.” Robertson then added that he “hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash.” He then slaved black people for taking government handouts, adding, “Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.” His comments didn’t sit well with the NAACP and various other race-relation organizations.
