This story is a really good example of how the radical left censors thought and speech. You take a 67 year old guy, born and raised in the deep south, lived his entire life in the deep south, self proclaimed bible thumper, self proclaimed redneck... and they feign shock at his answer about homosexuality and race relations?
They, the left, ask the loaded question and when you don't answer to their liking, you're crucified for stating your personal experiences and beliefs. Tolerance is a one way street with the left, their way.
Listen, what this guy said, especially about blacks in the cotton fields, was laugh out loud, shake your head at the ignorance of it all experience, but please A&E, don't pretend to be shocked and appalled given the fact that you knew who he was when you hired the guy.
