GLAAD Rages Against Phil Robertson's Return to Duck Dynasty
Breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood ^ | 12-28-2013 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 12/28/2013 9:19:54 AM PST by servo1969

At first, the gay advocacy group GLAAD successfully urged A&E network to punish Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson for comments about homosexuals he made in GQ. But now that the network has relented and returned the elder Robertson to his reality show, the advocacy group is not very happy at all.

"Phil Robertson should look African American and gay people in the eyes and hear about the hurtful impact of praising Jim Crow laws and comparing gay people to terrorists," GLAAD said in a statement to the press. "If dialogue with Phil is not part of next steps then A&E has chosen profits over African American and gay people—especially its employees and viewers."

Phil said that when he grew up in the old south, that he never saw black people mistreated. He said he worked with them in cotton fields. He said everybody got along fine, people of both races in those days. The liberals extrapolated those comments to mean that Phil was in favor of the old Jim Crow laws.

Nice summary. Mr. Robertson was sharing his own personal experience, nothing more. They tried to whip it up into something else.

What did he say about African Americans?

Basically that, as poor white trash (his own use of the term), he'd worked along side Jim Crow era blacks in manual labor/agricultural jobs and they didn't seem to be as miserable as they've been portrayed.

Hey glaad... if you are unhappy today... wait until the trumpet sounds... you are not going to like what your evil will cause you to be forced to endure... a never ending eternity spent in torture and despair.

Where did “praising Jim Crow laws” come from? I never heard about Jim Crow laws in relation to this story. Are the LGBTs just making up stuff, like they usually do?!

When you (The gay mafia and race hustlers) have to outright lie to try and make people agree with you, it needs to be shouted from the roof tops. We can't sit back and allow these libtards to control the media.

With his main point being they were Christians and happy. They weren't all worked up assigning blame for their lot in life.

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed something like that--but Jesse Jackson and the rest never miss a chance to play the race card.

Certainly the Jim Crow laws were unpleasant and insulting to black people, but people are able to find happiness in life even under adverse conditions--and there are hundreds of millions of people today in the Third World who endure worse conditions than American blacks did in the 1950s, yet many of them manage to be happy.

Mark Twain has a short story about a woman he calls Aunt Rachel, a recently-freed black woman who was serving as a cook at a Union army camp in North Carolina right after the war. She always seem to be laughing and joking, so finally one of the white soldiers commented that it seemed that she had never had any unhappiness in her life. Then she told him of her past--she was from Maryland but had been sold away from her seven children. She had pleaded to be allowed to remain with her youngest boy who was maybe 7 years old. This was many years earlier. She then told of how she managed to be reunited by chance with her youngest when he was with a unit of the US Colored Troops. He had a distinctive scar and she had a distinctive manner of talking which is how they recognized each other. Someone like that whose life experiences were far worse than any living Americans have endured, except perhaps concentration camp survivors, could still be happy.

The Rednecks vs the Homos is beginning to get interesting. They are worried they won’t be getting their AA benefits.

My post on the GLAAD Facebook page: Could you please quote the EXACTLY where Phil Robertson “praised Jim Crow laws and compared gay people to terrorists.” I read the article and he said that he could not understand how some men preferred anal sex to vaginal and he said that HE never witnessed discrimination against blacks when he was picking cotton next to them.
When you start with a lie everything after that is automatically suspect.
There are quite aq few of us that will no longer sit by quietly watching your campaigns of disinformation.

I’m so happy that Phil did not back down or apologize.
Had he caved, DD fans would have deserted the show.
And his brand would have been permanently damaged.
As such, if the Robertson’s chose to move to another network
after their contract with A&E is up, they will bring their millions
of fans with them, if the leave A&E.

I remember when we got along fine with blacks.

Then something changed. I think it started with integration. Peaked with the riots of 1968, slowed down a bit and then started reaching new heights when we elected an incompetent black to the Presidency and then realized that he was indeed incompetent.

Damn they will be after me next.

You know it when somebody speaks truth because the other side can only put words into your mouth and then condemn you for what you never said.

Classic liberalism. Other people call it childish and immature conversation.
