"“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.”

1. He's lying of course. No one missed all the demonstrations

in the south. Southerners were well aware of what was going on.

2. Bullshit, that rich yuppie never hoed cotton with blacks or anybody else

Seen the "before" pictures of these douchebags? They look like the bastard sons of Thruston Howell.

3. Thank you Lawrence O'Donnell

There hasn't even been much discussion at DU about the 'white washing' of history by this man - and well . . . just how common it is not only among Duck Dynasty viewers but America in general.

There are many many people - and they aren't just in the South - that 100% believe in what this man said and agree with him. They must because they are too weak minded to understand the realities of history and the world that surrounds them.

4. Lawrence was in good form last night

The statement from Phil Roberts was simply stupid and wrong
