Phil Robertson has been suspended from a anne's
duck dynasty indefinitely after he had a few
anti-gay comments in a recent interview with GQ
now he basically grouped the gay community in with terrorists and
bestiality so people are understandably upset the comment that he made
and a any decided to respond to it immediately
in fact they released a statement and it said the following: we are extremely
disappointed to have read Phil Robertson comments in GQ
which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected
in the series duck dynasty his personal abuse in no way reflect those in A&E
networks
who have always had been strong supporters and champions on the LGBT
community
the network have placed Phil under hiatus from filming
indefinitely at look i I like you're making strong comment about the
not tolerating the use you know outrageous remarks yes
homosexuals on the other hand there's a lot of people who
say outrageous things on TV donald Trump is a clear racist
you know with the whole burger nah says that President Obama say he does he
believe
he could have got an education at Columbia take
it's clear I was like a matte black I went to Columbia Police 0
tribes a terrible guy and he's got a huge show on NBC
right right so a and in its kinda weird thing
that so the pay tracker the family I presume I don't watch that dynasty
a won't be allowed on the show for the show will continue the show I will be
going to put him in a closet
bike is a soapy by their lives right in the whole thing's goofy
I don't think it's goofy I think that they made a good decision union and
let me let me correct what I just said %uh whether or not a good decision i
that up for debate however I do not
disagree with that making this decision and the reason why I say that is because
as a private company you need to make that decision I see that as
a anne's exercise up the first amendment yet of course lee et Los I don't think
this
like people misunderstand the first amendment but he its
the government actions that private issue that right now I can we get that
but whether the should have done it is a different question right
and I'm not sure they should have done it now look at the more you read repeal
wrappers for the poor you want to agree with A&E
so he Phil Robertson then responded it tell us that and then I will get it
the site a little bit clearer so he says I myself am a product at the 16th I said
in my life around sex drugs and rock n roll until I hit rock bottom and
accepted Jesus as my savior
my mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and
also what the Bible teaches
and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together
however I would never treat anyone with this respect just because they are
different for me
we are all created by the Almighty and like him I love all of humanity
we would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other
yeah nama I have two juries and I'm gonna vote no I don't think this is
suspended a
I think it it's a good opportunity for conversation
known as let it slide like I owe this lovable fill with his hatred of gays
rate
um it but at the same time using a giant
percentages country doesn't feel the same exact wasteful Robert Sanders
so it's a good opportunity to have the conversation so the shelling the
conversation doubt
the same exact thing I thought with done I miss when they fired him from MSNBC
for saying that be headed hoes about the rockers
masked ball players goes masked ball players and so
I agree with I misses comments I obviously don't agree with bill
Robertson's comments
but I me I guess you'd have to fire her I don't know
38 percent the country 45 percent of the country
who agrees with them I'm a little more sympathetic toward the decision that A&E
made I'm and I would feel the exact same way if
someone went on there and said something that I agreed with but and he was
worried about what their image look like
look as the company especially in today's climb it
right with with tolerance and acceptance of the gay community
you can't have people on your network saying things that are hateful toward an
entire community
in years response to A&E suspending him
he seemed like this lovable guy would I don't judge them except you can get gay
people to go to have sex with
animals anti-terrorist so you said news and people things
and yet any didn't agree with it they're concerned about their image
so if they want it suspend him indefinitely if they feel like that's
the right move
which by the way I believe is a bold move considering the fact that forty
million people watched each episode
right yeah do it now I understand that and look the most important thing here
to point out here
is that in the middle this conversation what people should learn from it is
yes and is what people fall back on all the time all the Bible says you should
not buy with a member the Bible also says the slavery is OK
it does read it right the Bible says also is a curious things about how you
shouldn't eat shellfish in
God will hate you if you do in send you to hell et cetera right
so we knew emphasize the part about
being gay that's y tu wong me this is the same just pick a should be used
for you know discriminate against black people
and that's what we learn from the conversation that's a good thing but at
the same time
in those who come from a place okay even though I know is comment about
african-americans which is what we're gonna go to next
I still think he's able guy and he's an ignorant guy
I think he doesn't know the history how the Bible has been used for hatred
and he doesn't realize he's in the middle %uh that he doesn't realize that
what he
said is hateful no I don't think he does that's why he keeps talking about drugs
and adulterers
and like I said I give credit on day one because almost no one else
measures adulterers in that same sentence so is a look at it be an
adulterous wrong it's true it's in the Bible it also says that
being gay is wrong with those eight in the Bible right that the problem why the
whole country struggles with it
and why we can come to a conclusion on it is because the reality is the Bible's
along it was made up by a buncha politicians
three to four hundred years after Jesus lived and died if you believe that he
actually went in the back
right so it's just it's not a factual document
and we keep struggling to the pacs keep running into
know what this that document that a lot of people even
the majority the country believes it so they're constantly confused but I don't
get it that's what the Bible says
and at the same time we're telling them that it's wrong so that's why I
I want to help them understand what it is what the Bible is
how people were interpreted consider saying bill Robertson and
Bowl you agree with them are bad guys
that you later tonight don't don't misunderstand what I'm saying I'm not
saying that the
they're all bad guys do I believe that religious indoctrination and makes
people extremely ignorant when it comes to
certain groups of people in our country absolutely right
but but there are the comments that he made
go beyond just being ignorant in my eyes that my perception a bit
when you group of gay people in with others that goal row
bombing countries and killing people or people to go out
fucking animals there any I think it goes beyond just ignorant by two let's
get to it he said about african-americans
alright so I during the same GQ interview he also said the following:
I never with my eye I saw the mistreatment of any black person not
once
out where we lived was all farmers the block worked for the farmers
I hold caught with them I with the blocks because we're white trash
my whole upper same see someone about pre-civil rights-era
not all about recent days and during Jim Crow
okay when there was deep deep discrimination collared
let water fountains lynchings this error in this hour any say no I don't see any
other made
and he's implying that it didn't exist yeah right now he continues on
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 why people not a word
print out a min pre welfare you say were they happy
they were godly they were happy no one was singin the blues
okay now this is about as ignorant comment is you could possibly make
crystal hunter blues issue that they were literally
singing the blues in fact that's where the Blues comes from
so it's impossible for him to be more wrong now the much more substantive
issue
what yes you see bill they couldn't come up to you as a white guy and tell you
the problems that they had
cuz you might have killed them you see was in the Jim Crow time
when if you look at a a grow long as
some black steady teenage blacks you get lynched
okay if you are civil rights leaders say black should actually be able to vote
here
you would get murdered now what do you think though they didn't come up to me
like doggone it you know
things are going well for us because they were afraid
for you did not understand that is it's shocking
right but its sole
unbelievable that I think nm you could obviously
people might see it in a completely different light but to me it
reinforces how ignorant yes this is a
profoundly stupid guy okay who millions and millions of people like to watch on
a regular basis it's really depressing
right so I don't think that I could be wrong but I don't think that he
says this in hindsight because he's like I was
awesome we got to you know Lidge blacks in and in a
they knew their place they couldn't say anything to us white folk songs grade
and saw no I get the sense that he actually thinks like
old are gone and they never said anything to me a call we would
former with them and I we didn't have any you should that's because you're
only in your own dumbass perspective
a you never your soul blinded by your ignorance
that you could never see outside those blinders a/c the
actual situation a black so that in the country is specifically in louisiana
we're living in so that this guy is not a guy was a rocket scientist
and has some evil plans at the spread hatred throughout the
world I think he's genuinely and Dom
guy who was a drunkard and then reform so which is a good thing
right and then because he got reform you want to spread the
he said why don't you think that reform it was the Bible so whatever they tell
me that whatever my pastor says isn't it I'm gonna go
got you know gung ho on so
look for people understand this whole issue is really important
but I don't use all bit by suspending him for a couple
episodes in a show
