jarrylf Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 “I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person," Robertson is quoted in GQ. "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.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/19/phil-robertson-black-people_n_4473474.html This is WAYYY disapointing, I love this show, but this guy....I always sensed something, Finding out he was homophobic wasn't surprising but that he has a touch of the racism was for me. For me this is MUCH worst than the shit people are dragging Paula for, I mean that "pre-entitlement, pre-welfare" statement ALONE....DAMN, as a serious viewer, don't know if I'll continue to support...

DEATH @ THE HONEY BOOBOO PART LOL, that girl uses too many black phrases to hate black people lol! Eh...I don't understand the hype around this show, anyway. It's funny rednecks, is all, nothing more or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 DEFINITELY uncultured, that's a large part of their show, this guys son (the only 1 who went to college besides him I think), tries to get the family into and trying new things & stuff, and it's about their reactions mostly.

Living in the south, I hear about it and see advertising/merchandise from it all the time. I just never wanted to bother with it.

It's about a family who are millionaires for creating specific duck calling whistles, the guy who the article is talking about is the main dad, he has 3 sons, and the oldest son is the 1 who created the idea, and handles the money (hes the smart 1, and the 1 with culture) the rest are dumb hicks basically, funny hicks but dumb, I mainly watch for the 3 sons, I'm very entertained by them, their dad like I said.............eh.....I don't like him very much. Their uncle (the dad's brother) is WAYYYYYYYY funny too. But yea it's just a guilty pleasure for me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn1814 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 WASHINGTON -- Embattled "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson has been suspended from his show by A&E for his remarks about gays and African-Americans, and now some high-profile conservatives are rallying to his side and defending him. On Friday, GOP congressional candidate Ian Bayne went all in, comparing Robertson to civil rights icon Rosa Parks. "In December 1955, Rosa Parks took a stand against an unjust societal persecution of black people, and in December 2013, Robertson took a stand against persecution of Christians," Bayne said in an email to supporters. "What Parks did was courageous," he added. "What Mr. Robertson did was courageous too." Robertson's anti-gay remarks in an interview with GQ comparing homosexuality to bestiality have received quite a bit of attention. But he also commented on the state of African-Americans during the Jim Crow era, claiming that they were all carefree and totally happy with their (unequal) status: :sigh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yes.. Republicans are quick to compare civil right leaders to, oddly, bigots.. It's quite odd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 What "Christian persecution"? How are you being persecuted in a country where you're the majority? Not to mention, people are just wanting to live their lives the way it suits them. They aren't persecuting you by telling you to stop persecuting them. A bunch of Republican dumbasses, really. Of course, comparing him to Rosa Parks is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
