    Aw Denny, you surprise me with the shallowness of your rant. You should know there were no drinking fountains out where they hoe the cotton.
    The man gave you a glimpse of what he saw, not a reenactment of what you conjure up for that day which obviously include things that didn't exist.

    I never hoed cotton but I picked beans in Oregon back in the 40s and 50s. No blacks, no Mexicans, but there were migrant Okies and Arkies camped around the bean fields. We brought a drink in the lunch bag you totted to work or you didn't drink. Holy Shit man!, Drinking fountains?!?!? Pull you head out and read what he said not what you think he should say.

    Hey, I watched about 5 minutes of Duck Dynasty last evening. Holy crap that is one dumb ass show! How in the hell does that attract the most viewers on cable TV??
    Go figure!

    Everyone knows black people were happiest when singing the blues and tap dancing.

    That's not all that he said.

    "Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."

    They were happy pre-entitlement, pre-welfare? Just wow.

    Black people had to drink from separate drinking fountains, among other terrible segregation era mistreatments, then.

    Do you really think they were happy with that?

    Really?

    One time I was talking to a person who knew a person that talked to a person that said their great great grandfather was a slave and he really enjoyed it. Therefore all black people enjoyed being slaves.

    No I don't, but then again neither you nor I were there. A lot of people seem happy that aren't, and vice versa. There are a lot of people that commit suicide and immediately people say "wow, they seemed so happy" As well as many people living like dirt that are the happiest people ever

    I volunteer at a prison here to speak to inmates. You would be shocked at how many of them are happy. Happy to be in prison even. Some of them have been released and do something to go right back because they are happier there with rules and structure.

    I guess the old saying about one mans garbage being another mans treasure or something like that fits here.

    I have had money, and have had nothing. Having money is better, but I sure do miss the simplicity of having none.

    No wonder blacks were so happy under segregation, they had the white man's laws to bring order to their naturally chaotic lives.... is what one could construe as being the message put forth by your example

    Just because a few are happy with simplicity, does not mean a whole race is happy with no opportunity.

    They should still be holding those signs then because they sure as fuck don't all have jobs. Neither do these scummy white trash 20 year olds with their tattoos and huge earrings they mutilate their bodies with. I suspect these white trash pieces of shit are happy too. Which adds backing to my belief that dumber people are generally happier.

    What makes me unhappy is going to the grocery store on welfare day and being one of the few people using my own money.

    This rant may not have much to do with the thread except that my prejudices have no effect on you morons any more than Phil Robertson's. Dude is a badass by the way.

    They have plenty of opportunity. They have the opportunity to not have kids they can't pay for or properly educate. That right there is on them. Don't like being black? Don't have kids that have to be stuck being black. I wish I was black so I could throw down wicked 360 dunks and people would be more scared of me than normal. The person I would want to be in the last 50 years would be Shaq. I would have broken the arms of dudes trying to block my dunks.

    Another comment that doesn't have much to do with anything but once again who cares what Phil Robertson says?

    I agree. As he said though.... the people he observed. He didn't say a word about an entire race.

    Well MM you must remember, these folks making the derogatory comments have no personal memories to give them reference. They know only the history that the PC police have allowed to filter through, and of course they emulated the correct response.

    I had no clue about who Phil Robertson was before this contrived controversy, but I'm guessing he's lived a more interesting life than anybody on this board.
