A&E's decision to reinstate Phil Robertson on Duck Dynasty shows the network has "chosen profits over African American and gay people," the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) said on Saturday.
"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. "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."
Roberts was suspended from the hit show after he gave an interview with GQ Magazine in which he made anti-gay comments and said he didn't see black people suffering inequality before the civil rights movement. On Friday, the network released a statement saying he would return to the show in 2014.
"After discussions with the Robertson family, as well as consulting with numerous advocacy groups, A&E has decided to resume filming Duck Dynasty later this spring with the entire Robertson family," the release stated.
In a statement to Fox News, the family said they were "excited to keep making a quality TV show."
"We will continue to represent our faith and values in the most positive way through Duck Dynasty and our many projects that we are currently working on," they said in the statement. "The outpouring of support and prayer has encouraged and emboldened us greatly."(continued)

Thanks for this. Don’t know how many times I’ve read articles where they were saying lies about what he said.
To this day, liberals continue to spread the lie that Bill Clinton was impeached by republicans, for sex.
That lie will be in future history books, if it isn’t already.
Just as liberals claim that the 2000 presidential election was stolen by Bush. Some liberal talking points become accepted as fact by low information types.
Democrats are the party of Jim Crow
Throughout the 80s and 90s the left wing mantra was Women and Blacks. Today it is Blacks and Gays. Blacks in America were undeniably mistreated and they had a hard fought battle
that ended in partial victory.
Some white leftist who claim to have “marched” in one or the other of the famous marches have made a career of it.
My point is this. The left automatically equate slavery and Jim Crow with each of their “rights” campaigns, and anyone who disagrees with them, slave owners.
I’m surprised that civil rights leaders have allowed their deserved successes to be hijacked by every movement that comes down the pike. It also demeans that success that a hand full of “leaders” have enriched themselves on the backs of those who struggled with real conditions, with whatever cause they find that can bring the money flowing in to their own enterprises.
But the homo lobby’s attempts to “boycott” this or that is never about “profits” huh?
Delusional to go along with dysfunctional
Precisely!
If GLAAD wants a dialog with Phil, then why don't they come down to his church and join one of his Bible study classes?
Sure, but remember, in Evangelical and Charismatic churches (and many more) the ushers, deacons, assistant pastors and lots of other people are packing heat.
Oh granted, but who knows, it might be the first time in their lives they’d actually get to hear the unvarnished word of God. Then again, they’d probably never take Phil up on the offer for that very reason.
Well, at least, it is not about getting f#cked in the a$$hole, I have a government to do that. But, to this government, profits are even worse.
I don’t like Iran but perhaps they have the final solution to homo’s.
Thank you.
> should look America in the eyes and hear about the hateful result of BALD FACED LYING.
like denying that most pedophiles are gay by a wide margin?
Like lying about their true reasons and intentions about why they forced the Boy Scouts of America to accept gay scouts and saying it wasn’t because they wanted their ranks to become den leaders so they would have access to a flock to fleece?
Like saying straight people didn’t leave you a tip because you were gay?
> When is the IRS gonna investigate GLADD?
It will never happen during this presidency for obvious reasons.
As my dear late Granny would've put it: "Is a pig's ass pork?"
Democrats ought to know all about Jim Crow laws— they made them.
“Remind me where Mr. Robertson “praised” Jim Crow laws and “compared” homosexuals to terrorists. Was that in a different magazine interview? On the show itself? In a phone call intercepted by the NSA?”
Homos, or ANYONE who infects others with Aids/HIV without their consent = TERRORISM
The Terrorist Homosexuals loved Jim Crow.
The irony is that the pimper ‘advocacy groups’ like Jesse and GLAAD are in it for the m-o-n-e-y too.
They cleared a few million with this stunt. Now they’ll pass it along to their ‘communities’- one under-aged prostitute at a time...
They’re pure evil, naturally the Dems and media love them.
