This is what he said about Black people during the 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.”So we were happy as non-equals? Thanks, Phil.

I guess as long as the Black people are singing they don't have a care in the world?
What an ass.
Self righteous and dumb.
I suppose in his mind everyone was minding their own business while singing, "Zip dee doo dah..."
What a tool.
