“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.”

I understand why they think that. It's possible they did have sex too.
Well, according to most your body is simply a playground for the horny, and if you make a "mistake" you shouldn't have consequences and be "punished" with a child... therefore you should kill your own progeny.
are you blind?
"I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. " where in this statement did he say racism existed as far as he knows?
It's possible, but is it a fact?
guess who spit in a Black mans' face after profiling him? Me.
So unless he says "racism exists as far as he knows", he said "there was no racism"?
he was saying he never saw it.
why did he say that?
No, just a simple possibility. It's also unlikely, as I said this was before the "free love" era and the pill.
Maybe because he didn't see it among the people he worked with.
"I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. " what point was he trying to convey by saying this?
we can clear this all up by talking to his dear friends at the time who were black. Im sure they are rushing in to defend their dear friends honor right? What do their quotes say?
