I don’t think it is going to help Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal become president to do a cameo appearance on next season’s Duck Dynsaty program. People of color and decent white people simply won’t tolerate a candidate who winks and nods at the behavior of Phil Robertson.
In the interview, [Robertson] also said that in his Louisiana youth he picked cotton with African-Americans and never saw “the mistreatment of any black person. Not once.”
“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 told the magazine.
Mr. Robertson was born in 1946, which means he was already 18 years old when the Civil Rights Act passed, and nineteen when the Voting Rights Act passed. The Justice Department is still investigating the murders of five black men who died in the Louisiana of Robertson’s youth.
Then there’s the younger generation who have exactly no time for someone who sidles up to deranged homophobia.
