Duck Dynasty Star Booted

[Jermyn Davidson]

I hope Duck Dynasty leaves A & E, but I sure hope they don't go to FOX! All it would do is further polarize our country on a deeper than political level.

On one hand, I am glad that his views on race haven't been blown up in the media.



On the other hand, he implies the same false idea that many politicians and others seem to believe-- the welfare rolls in America are stacked with black people.

Remember what I have said several times about how so many white people make it so difficult to be a black Conservative?

He doesn't come right out and say it, but I bet he believes that the protections that minorities have in America not only are not necessary, but were never necessary! After all, we were godly, happy and singing!

It's impossible to look at his statement and not wonder what he means, not wonder where America would be if we followed his logic on race all the way out.

Go ahead, act like I'm some left-winged, race-baiting, communist looking for hand-outs and racism under every rock, in every nook and cranny of American life. You would be wrong, but it has never stopped other Conservatives from saying this before whenever anyone brings up the real fact that many white Conservatives have deep rooted racial prejudices that has plagued the Republican Party since their convenient inclusion of the "Dixie-crats" during the Civil Rights Era.

We saw this same phenomenon with Ron Paul-- it's a soft approval of racial prejudice by never calling out the racial prejudice, never officially condoning it, but rarely condemning it when it rears its ugly head, which happens more often than what good white Conservatives seem able to recognize.


Stop the lying! Today's GOP is NOT the Party of Lincoln! The GOP really needs to address and correct this in order to grow into the 21st century.

I'm pretty sure it's a fact that per capita there are more blacks in jail and on welfare than whites...

What is obvious but often ignored is, one segment of American society is always going to be the majority that is in jail or on welfare

It's statistically improbable that it will always be virtually tied along racial lines unless it's artificially controlled.

Not sure what they're thinking....Cracker Barrel has pulled all of Phil's merchandise, but still has some other DD products. They're under a massive assault on FB because of it, too.

From the info that I read (I will "try" to find the link - sometimes I have a hard time going back to what I read. ) .....

Anyway ... A & E owns all the rights to the DD name and paraphernalia. They have asked certain stores to pull the DD merchandise - they can do that because the own "DD." It is my understanding that CB is continuing to carry the "Duck Commander" merchandise - which is actually owned by the Robertson family. So, if anyone purchases DD merchandise, they are actually supporting A & E. Not sure why A & E would tell CB to pull the DD stuff? A & E would make money off it. Walmart is covered with the stuff. Maybe Walmart stood up to them???

It's any merchandise with Phil. Bobblehead, and any other products of Phil's.

Their statement is at odds with your claim. If A&E made that demand, surely CB would have said so, and not put themselves in the PR nightmare they're in currently. They did not. Instead they made some unclear comment that they removed "selected" items which could be offensive.

I do wonder if that finds it's roots in the slavery and oppression of the black people though. Each black person, as white, is responsible for him or herself, but I wonder what culture was created for black people while they were being oppressed by whites, having their families ripped apart, being raped and not being given enough food to eat. They probably wouldn't care a whole lot for white man's "laws". Just sayin'.

I kinda like this post on there by MM (If itd take off...)

"Forget A&E...we need to convince the Robertson Family to start their own Cable Network based on their beliefs and values.....Sponsors would be lining up to advertise....Family shows....Outdoors shows.....Cooking shows...Childrens shows....all based on the true Christian beliefs...just think about it."
