I haven't found the actual interview questions, but multiple reports seem to say his response was brought on from:
When asked about whether he witnessed bigotry or racism against African-American people growing up in the pre-Civil-Rights South, the ousted reality star opined: "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," Robertson surmised.
He continued: "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."

So he was asked if he had witnessed any racism, and he responded accordingly.
If you're referring to some other section of the interview, please let us know, but you're taking this so far out of context to the point it's blatantly false.
