As a gay person, I care when people spread such vicious, hateful lies about gay people. It's harmful, especially when it reaches the ears of gay kids.
what lies did Robertson said about gay people?......that's his believe based on the Christian bible......again, you don't have to agree but he was asked a question about his personal believes based on the bible and he answered it honestly......what's the problem again?......don't watch the show.....get over it!
Except that I've never said such a thing. What makes you think that I did?
I wasn't talking about you, I'm talking about the people in this thread who are claiming that Phil Robertson is a racist. I'm just looking for an explanation other than "it's really sad that you don't agree with me..."
He can say whatever he likes. You seem to think no one should be allowed to express their criticism of what he says.
Can't have it one way.
I never said that criticism couldn't be had, all I did was point out that you and others don't know (A) what you are talking about because you take what you read in "headlines" for the be all end all, as long as it fits your agenda. (B)Couldn't care less enough to go deeper because when the words "redneck" & "Christian" are used in the same article? It lubes your tubes immediately and there IS no looking back.
Are we speaking about you and your criticism of him and how you can't back it up any longer?
Without letting your emotions get involved, can you please explain to us why you believe that Phil Robertson is a racist? Please give a couple examples of what he said and explain how those statements are racist against a certain race of people. If it's that easy to see it should be even easier for you to explain right?
You know, I grew up with racism so I know a racist when I see them. I don't have to explain anything to you because we will never agree. He is a racist, plain and simple. You don't agree then sorry. I guess you see him through rose colored glasses.
None of you read the interview. He said black were not singing the blues back in his day, which is when the blues was invented. He said he would vote for Mitt Romney because if its late and night Obama would make him feel unsafe.... He stated Blacks were much happier
Under segregation at a time when lynching and beating were common. No blacks ever complained to him so they must have had it pretty good back then right?

The lie he told was that gay people are heartless, ruthless, senseless murderers who bring death and invent evil.

What an utterly pathetic excuse for a reply, thanks Natalie. You can't explain anything to me because you can't even articulate your thoughts to yourself, you believe he's a racist because you believe he's a racist. I don't see him through rose colored glasses, I see the truth and it's certainly a lot clearer than whatever you're looking at.

so you have a problem with the blacks that he grew up with?.....you think all blacks in the south were being lynched and every white person in the south hated them?
he never said blacks were better under segregation, why do you put words in his mouth....he was talking about the blacks he grew up with,,,,,again that is how he remembers things.....you want him to lie and make up things?
