Wow, prejudiced much? Duck Dynasty has a huge viewership, many of whom a) aren't rednecks and b) aren't racist dick bags.
You're right - I should lose my job and have my family taken away.

I don't have a problem. I'm a grown man and don't let shit that doesn't affect me or my family bother me. Sticks and stones.Well then what's your problem against the "crybabies" sending A&E "hate mail" if that's not even what got him fired?

The thing that you guys are just incapable of seeing is that GLAAD are bullies. I could even say they are a terrorist group. They use their power to make people afraid to speak their minds. The man was speaking about the Bible in a magazine interview. He wasn't spouting off things on the streets. He wasn't saying gays should be hanged. He was saying things that most people agree with but have become afraid to say in our society. We have truly become like the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, where goodness is punished and sin is encouraged.

Also, most people think gays are gross immoral people? The majority of Americans are in favor of gay marriage but still secretly think they're a step away from fucking animals and are going to hell?
If he really is, he's good.Oh shit, you were trolling the entire time. Fucker, you got me...lol
I'm pretty sure not every single black person and every single gay person stood up and sent A&E hate mail. Speak for yourself.
A random black or gay GAFer doesn't represent them.

It shouldn't. They're words. There are worse things to worry about than what one guy, who a lot of you are all callin a redneck, has to say.Just because it doesn't affect you, it doesn't mean it doesn't affect others.
In addition to not understanding the difference between freedom of speech and hate speech, you also have no idea what terrorism is either.
Also, most people think gays are gross immoral people? The majority of Americans are in favor of gay marriage but still secretly think they're a step away from fucking animals and are going to hell? I'd ask you to back that up with evidence or polls or something, but the last time you were asked to prove a point you provided a youtube link to a disproved FOX News story, so why bother.
You forget that all the support of gays is only a recent thing. It used to be very common that people looked down on them
And you know good and well it's nothing to do with speech, rather than A&E protecting its own ass against minority group and liberal organizations.
You forget that all the support of gays is only a recent thing. It used to be very common that people looked down on them, it was a common insult. you had Eminem making fun of them in a ton of songs, and it was accepted. But then the LGBT uprising came and he apologized and did a duet with Elton John to make people not be mad anymore.

Did any other cast members come out and condemn him?
Three generations. One duck related Dynasty. The Robertson family story told through the lens of Phil, Kay, Jep and Reed. Gather friends and family this Thanksgiving season and watch their 30-minute special film. From their humble beginnings and struggle to keep their family together, see what happened before their immense success.
The issue with these types of controversies is usually not what the person believes, but how they communicated it. The latter seems to be what really upset people, on top of his views to begin with.

Southern white people, with a limited experience to Black people, often have a limited understanding of problems faced by Black people.
Why is this a surprise?
"uprising"?
Yes, those uppity gays. Someone should beat them back down, right? Teach them their place?
I guess some believe since he didn't say it on the show/TV, he shouldn't get fired.
But was the interview representing the show or not?
Goes back to no job protection. Yes you can get fired for doing anything outside of work that could conceivably ruin a company's reputation. If A&E believes it paints them in a bad light then they have the right to fire him.
Hell, maybe the guy can sue them. That's his right too I guess.
Dear God, I just got invited to the "Phil Robertson Support Page" on Facebook...

I wish we could all go back to the good old days where children played on the street, men gave up their bus seat to women, and we could all come together and look down on gays in perfect harmony.
Not sure why people always equate the south with being mainly white.

I'm not saying we should go back to those times, and I support treating them as equals. You guys seem to have gone off on a tangent of equating me to something else, but I'm a young person the same as you. I don't look at them as different, though I'll tell you it annoys me when they talk in a really feminine voice. But if they're just normal people, why should I care what they do in their bedrooms?
I'm just saying that until the past 5 years or so, people said things like Phil Robertson said all the time. Now you hear less of it because of the LGBT gangs scaring everyone into silence.
What's the problem? They not allowed to pick a side?
Fuck em then. If I was him, I'd move to a network more tolerant of his views and start a new show.
Did you ever stop and think that maybe a minority group speaking up and publicly pointing out their mistreatment might be a good thing? That it might lead to less ignorance? Happiness, maybe? Ponies and sunshine?
Seems like a lot of this going around lately. It's not cute nor is it a defense, it's just ignorant.Oh shit, you were trolling the entire time. Fucker, you got me...lol

A&E stand to lose a lot of money because of this decision. For that alone, they've gained a lot of respect from me. Some corporations would only think about the dollar.
If what he said in the interview wasn't offensive to you, then fine. A&E clearly didn't want that message conveyed to its viewership and they're entitled to that view as well.
Yeah its increasingly annoying on GAF because they are usually extremely sensitive and accepting of different cultures but when the south gets brought up broad generalizations, stupid stereotypes and ignorant comments get dropped left and right. The mods don't seem to mind much either but if it was about any other region/group/culture the user would be warned or banned.Because it's a stupid generalization. Many people seem to think that living anywhere close to the south is equal to living out in the backwoods in a crappy shack drinking moonshine out of a jug all day when we aren't holding our KKK rallies.
You mean like those Christians who go out and put up signs that say "God hates fags"?Why? It's true. GLAAD is a hate group. When I say LGBT gangs, I don't mean actual gay people. I mean the people who go out and try to ruin people's lives for speaking their mind.
