I never watched the show before, and I don't intend to watch it now, or ever. He sounds ignorant at best, although he's managed to parlay his backwoods family into a multi-million dollar empire, so he certainly can't be stupid.

He may feel free to express himself, but how can any man who lived through Jim Crow laws and the civil rights movement in the South honestly say that he never met a black person that seemed unhappy? Does he live in some kind of Gone With The Wind wonderworld where the slaves were treated well and sang while they picked cotton???

I am always amazed at the uprising these things can cause. If I disagree with this man, which I do, I can change the channel and not buy any of the crap that his show peddles.
