The ‘Duck Dynasty’ star made headlines after telling ‘GQ’ that he believes gay people won’t go to heaven, and now he’s offensive hate language is continuing! You’ll drop to the floor when you read his latest rant!
Phil Robertson is ruffling some feathers once again, and this time he is offending African Americans. The star of A&E’s Duck Dynasty tells the January issue of GQ, that not only being gay is “just not logical,” but that he never noticed racism in the south before the Civil Rights Movement in the 50s.
Phil Robertson Makes Racist Comments
Phil just doesn’t appear to want to soften his opinions, he will just come right out and slam all sorts of individuals.
“I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once,” he said. “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.”
Wow, so is he saying there was no point for the Civil Rights Movement to even happen? Does he not remember separate schools, bathrooms, horrible mistreatment and more? It’s unfortunate he isn’t more sensitive with his words.
Phil Slams Gay People In New Interview
Phil first made headlines for comparing gay people to prostitutes, drunkards, and slanderers. He said gay people won’t go to heaven and that being gay could lead to bestiality.
“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there,” Phil says. “Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”
He even said he didn’t understand why someone wouldn’t want to sleep with a woman: “It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”
GLADD Responds To Phil’s Anti-Gay Comments
GLADD immediately responded with a statement after Phil offended the gay and lesbian organization.
“Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil’s lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe,” said spokesperson Wilson Cruz. “He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans – and Americans – who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. Phil’s decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families.”
A&E also suspended Phil from the show for now.
Well, they did have intact families before LBJ.
I am so sick of these people. They just need to go away.
I mean the ones who are whining, not the Robertsons who have said nothing wrong. The professionally offended are getting on my last nerve.
Clearly there was some dissatisfaction before Civil Rights or the movement would never have started. In some ways racial tensions have gotten worse since my youth, and in some ways they have gotten better. This bad economy is straining attitudes in many ways.
In other news Obama bankrupted us, gave our money to our enemies and destroyed our healthcare and future, opened our border to foreign invaders and then partied harder and spent more than any other President in history.
No Hollywood Reporter story...
According to lib theory blacks never smiled, never laughed, never loved their family or friends
No doubt, LBJ’s great society did a great deal of damage to the black family unit with massive welfare dependance being the direct result.
The author has a ridiculous misrepresentation of what Phil said. But what the hey.
Yup!
Which people?
I read Si Robertson Memiors I got his book he talk about him and Phil hang out with African American neighbors of their when they are kids in last chapter of the book
Not better off before civil rights. Better off before the new society.
I don't see anywhere he says blacks shouldn't have been granted civil rights.
Some people, especially people of Christian Faith, can find beauty and enjoyment in the most tempestious of times.
That is Faith.
He’s not saying anything against the Civil Rights Act. He’s saying that black people were happier before the entitlements of LBJ’s Great Society busted up their families and their culture.
When Phil Robertson (and I) were growing up, we knew plenty of black people who may have worked at menial jobs and manual labor, but they also went home to intact families. And there were jobs.
Keep in mind that the Robertsons were dirt poor then. He is speaking not in the abstract but from experience. He’s talking about people who were his neighbors and associates.
Phil and I grew up in the rural south, but the same was true in the cities. Neighborhoods were segregated, but families were intact and society revolved around church and their neighborhood business.
The Great Society and its welfare programs upended black culture and left us with the mess we are in today. Many motivated blacks took advantage of desegregation to get an education and build careers. Too many took the government carrot. Now we have inner cities filled with the unemployed, single mothers, and prisons full of young black men.
Sometimes the truth is ugly.
In my opinion, the blacks were happy, always kidding around.
They made the same pay as the whites did.
They were family men, hard workers, good workers.
I noticed NO chips on their shoulders like you see today.
The truth has become the new pornography. Prior to the “civil rights movement”, blacks enjoyed the same social mobility and legal protections as anyone else, had access to education, built businesses, and raised traditional families. After the “civil rights movement”, the US black population had a nuclear bomb of dysfunctionality dropped on it. They jam our prisons, cause most crime, and form large festering globs of intergenerational poverty in large cities that are orders of magnitude worse than anything prior to “civil rights”. Even without inferring causality, any rational person would say “hmmmm”.
