“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.”

On why he voted for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012:


“If I’m lost at three o’clock in a major metropolitan area … I ask myself: Where would I rather be trying to walk with my wife and children? One of the guys who’s running for president is out of Chicago, Illinois, and the other one is from Salt Lake City, Utah. [GQ editor’s note: Romney is from Boston, not Salt Lake City.] Where would I rather be turned around at three o’clock in the morning? I opted for Salt Lake City. I think it would be safer.”

So do you now admit you LIED desh?

Nowhere in there does he talk about Jim Crow laws. Nowhere.

Nowhere in the above does he say ALL Black people were happy. He talked about HIS personal experience working SIDE BY SIDE with the black people in his community. But you want to paint him as a racist... because that is what you are, so that is what you want to project onto others.
 
this shows just how fucked in the head people like super duper are.

they guy NEVER admits hes wrong no matter what

Exactly. Not once did he say black people were better under Jim Crow laws (do you have examples of such laws in LA?). not once did he say 'ALL BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA were happy'. He related a story about the people he grew up with.

He spoke about what he saw while pretty clearly missing the big picture. But you called him a racist for it. Explain how his comments showed he hates black people or feel they are an inferior race.

This is from the GQ interview. His view is that America is going to hell in a hand basket because Christian principles are being diluted.

"...in Robertson’s worldview, America was a country founded upon Christian values (Thou shalt not kill, etc.), and he believes that the gradual removal of Christian symbolism from public spaces has diluted those founding principles. (He and Si take turns going on about why the Ten Commandments ought to be displayed outside courthouses.) He sees the popularity of Duck Dynasty as a small corrective to all that we have lost.
“Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong,” he says. “Sin becomes fine.”

Wrong again dunce; once again proof that you don't have a clue regarding the Constitution. Again, insulting someone isn't against he Constitution and a protected liberty you dimwitted dullard.

The NAACP and the Human Rights Campaign wrote a joint letter to the president of A&E expressing "outrage and deep concern about the recent racist, homophobic, and ill-informed remarks made by Phil Robertson."

"Mr. Robertson claims that, from what he saw, African Americans were happier under Jim Crow. What he didn't see were lynching and beatings of black men and women for attempting to vote or simply walking down the street," the letter states.

"And his offensive claims about gay people fly in the face of science. In fact, it's important to note that every single leading medical organization in the country has said that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being LGBT -- it's not a choice, and to suggest otherwise is dangerous."
 
I have to admit, the guy has not said much that I would find offensive, I disagree with him about sin, and I disagree with him about what he seems to think Christianity is all about... but he seems to have chosen his words very carefully to express things in a non-offensive way.
