Phil Robertson's anti-gay comments aren't the only part of his interview with GQ causing controversy.
The 67-year-old "Duck Dynasty" star was suspended by A&E Wednesday for calling homosexuality sinful and putting gay people in same category as terrorists. While those quotes quickly went viral, it wasn't his only brow-raising statement in the interview; he also implied that African Americans were happier living under Jim Crow laws.

Yep, they saw the writing on the wall as to who has the most support in this, and decided to bring out the “big guns”. That’s all this is.
And here we go. “Not just a homophobe, but a racist as well!!!”
Hmm...I don’t hunt ducks, but I suddenly want a duck call for Christmas.
....NOT UNTIL TODAY. Sharpton and Jessssseeee will be getting free duck calls for everybody.........QUUUUUAAAAACCCCKKKK!!
Next we'll find out one of the kids blew off a school day last year.
That is not what he "implied". That's what the NAACP spokesman twisted his words into.
What he SAID (not implied) was that the blacks he observed were happier before WELFARE!
The price of having deep pockets~
“I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once,” the reality star said of growing up in pre-Civil-Rights-era Louisiana. “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!”
Robertson continued, “Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.”
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
What the hell is offensive about THAT statement??? He was mererly expressing his personal experiences. If that was ALL he said, its just a tempest in a teapot.
Is it Duckka’s or Duckkers?
Yep. I can’t think of anything lower that a self serving. liberal/socialist. Pathetic, self-hating hypocrites.
Phil's priorities are in the right order. Being on A&E is not on his list!... and he is "Happy! Happy! Happy!"
Everybody wants to be “offended.” One should never pass up an opportunity to be “offended” about something in Barry’s “fundamentally transformed” America. It appears as though Phil is about to be Paula Deened by all of the “victims” out there.
The plan is to take down the entire family, the show is way too successful for the left to let it run.
White trash?
This sounds like a 1940s movie.
“I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times they are not forgotten;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
“
Could they mischaracterize his statement ANY more than that? He was referring back to his own childhood, when people both black and white put God before today’s idolatry. NOTHING in his statement referred to Jim Crow.
Satan is alive and well in our world, and he just couldn’t stand the fact that millions of people were brought closer to Christ on a weekly basis by using the Robertons as a vehicle. It’s as simple as that.
So... Jim Crow must have ended on the exact same day that welfare started?
