Description
BUT he is entitled to his opinions. And with trash like Honey BooBoo, and the. Karshasians still on A&E, can you smell hypocricy? Why didn't they ban him when he made his remarks about atheists?
It's because the lbtg is a big consumer market. Gays and lesbians, they don't care about you. THey care about your MONEY.

I'm standing with Phil even if people get mad at me. I shouldn't change my thoughts because others push it on me.Β
But I wish the Kardashins were off tv -.-; Or whatever they are xD My mom watched that show for a bit and I wanted to crawl in a hole .-.Β

And Amen to that.

Thanks, and I'm glad he's back. He stood for his beliefs; something many are afraid to do.Β

He should've been booted for the anti-atheist remarks, too.Β Funny how Christian privilege is still in effect there.Β We're fighting that, though.
I stand against him, however.Β He's not just a homophobe (and I don't care if his religion says it's okay, his religion is wrong) but he's also a racist and a slavery apologist.
Firing him was no different than firing the cashier who is slinging racist remarks around like it's nobody's business while wearing the company uniform, even if they aren't on clock.

Had nothing to do with privilege, or he wouldn't have been booted for the gay remarks. There just weren't or aren't enough atheistic viewership on their channel to worry them. At least back when he made that remark.
I would rather stand for (even if I don't agree with their ideology) someone who speaks their mind and 'their truth' than a group or person who CLAIMS to be for something, but whose actions slap their case. Case in point with A&E. They knew how he felt about atheists and gays. But they agreed to air his family anyway. Hoping to cash in on the 'redneck' dollar.
If he stopped buying merchandise from a person he found out was gay, that's homophobic. If he started to call out violence against them, that's homophobic. But stating he believes their actions sinful is NOT homophobic. Now classifying them with error it's and drunkards, that's going a little to deep right field. I can't agree with either of that. But I think that's on issue of him opening his mouth and sticking his foot in it. St. Peter was famous for that, so it's a human as well as Christian trait.
Going back to my original point of calling an ACTION a sin, but not hating the individual, I believe a Catholic who does not get married in the Church, a sin, especially if they remain with the Church. Or receiving communion in a state of mortal sin, a thing I've been guilty of, a sin. But that doesn't mean I hate myself anymore than I hate the Catholic who got married out of the Church.Β
As to his religion being wrong, unless you've done deep research historically as well as co temporarily that his religion is full of ears, or completely erring, ya can't stand on that statement with both feet.Β
Now to the statement of racism. I have read recently his statements on how he thought blacks were more Christian and happier during the Jim Crow era. Can't say I agree with him, completely. A lot of them are more hateful and not as Christian as they were back then. But he misunderstands what he saw as happiness and peace with their fearful nature during that time. It wasn't true happiness. Maybe true Christian like as they were more patient, Dr. Luther king jr. Style yes.Β
But getting back to this man, he grew up as a white child in the Deep South during the high tide of these things. It makes sense he THINKS they way he does. Doesn't completely excuse it, but from that perspective, especially if he has talked to that many Blacks about it, it makes sense.
I have yet to read however where he's said they were inferior, used the 'N' word, or refused their business. In the race column I think he's just misguided. Not hateful.
As to slavery, again he came from the Deep South. No doubt taught in colleges, as he I believe has a business degree, that it was profitable. Doesn't make it right what he was taught, NOR completely true. If you have never seen the mockup entry called the C.S.A. Where it's suggested the south wins, and annexes both the North and much of Central America, expanding a slavery empire that by our time has basically financially and Wordly ruined it, isolating it from the rest of the world, you should. Best explanation of why slavery for profit in the end would never have been profitable or intelligent. A number of history buffs I have spoken to have suggested if the South had won, Β slavery might still have only lasted twenty or thirty years before going the way of the dinosaurs.
But I doubt he was taught this, and shown how economically speaking supporting the system was fool hardy and a recipe for collapse, having been educated in that area.
I'm not a foaming at the mouth fan of this man, nor his show. I can barely STAND A&E and it's shows anyway. But I will stand for this man, who speaks his mind, over anyone who double talks like that station does, in the hope of getting richer.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I am sorry its so long, and with luck as I babble too much, you understood what I was trying to say.
God bless and best wishes.
Ps note I'm not trying to end or encourage the end of the debate if you had other questions or things to bring up, I welcome reading them, sir, and discussing more if you so wish,

He may be entitled to his opinions, but that doesn't guarantee him employment.

Yhay much IS yrue. But the reason he was let go I believe eas just a lie. I haven't foinf, and I may have missed it, where ge was warned aboit his words about atheists.
But say something like he did hsre and A & E act all righteous. Its phony an insult to this msn, the viewer and to gays and lesbians. Because the execs have no real interest in supporting them but rather using them, exploiting them, and aiming to take their money.
IMHO.

Opinions or no, a clause in his contract stated that if he said anything that reflects negatively on A&E, they have the right to suspend or terminate his employment with them.
π: 0 β©: 2
Well you will NOT see me argue that. Of course he did make statements back in 2010, not sure if that contract was in affect then, and if so why they didn't act on it. And even if it wasn't... they should have known, and knew how he felt, knew he spoke honestly, and thus knew he wouldn't be good for their business. Just looked it up. There wasn't a contract in 2010. And I can't see how they didn't know about his opinions then. Nor can I see him saying he'd be quiet about them if asked.
Β
They do have the RIGHT to suspend his employment. But I still stand with that they DID NOT do suspend him for the real and truthful reasons. Which is one reason I am standing with him. If I thought for a moment, that they honestly cared about homosexuals, I might be a bit more on the fence. A&E was hoping to cash in on the 'redneck' dollar by airing this show. Despite Mr. Robertson's opinions on homosexuality. So right there is a slap against homosexuals. Then they PRETEND to be disgusted by what he said and suspend him. So they can KEEP homosexual funds to their pockets.
Β
Again they have the right to do this, but if I were a homosexual, which I am not but I have bisexual family members, I'd be disgusted by THEIR actions far more so than his words. They're sleezy hypocrites who want money. And don't care who they slap to get or keep getting it.

I'd like to point out that saying negative things about atheists reflects on A&E. While I do support the LGBT movement as well as the secular movement, let's not lie to ourselves here. A&E only booted his stupid ass out because the LGBT movement has a significant following which put the channel's ratings and profit margins at-risk. This is good - I mean, I'm glad LGBTs are finally getting their time in the sun just like non-whites did when they fought racism in the media - but I can't help but feel like A&E is just seeing free PR.
