Daystar has extended an offer to air "Duck Dynasty" during primetime hours.
"My wife, Joni, and I are standing with Mr. Phil Robertson of 'Duck Dynasty' for family values and biblical values," says Marcus Lamb, Founder and CEO of Daystar Television Network.
Evangelicals are outraged at A&E’s suspension of Phil Robertson, patriarch of the family in the hit show “Duck Dynasty.” But did anyone hear what Mr. Robertson said about Black people?
Lots of posts have already been written about Phil’s opinions on human sexuality (here, here, and here to name a few). But I wonder if Christians in the blogosphere and on social media noticed the other statements in article in GQ or just the excerpts about homosexuality.
My wife’s grandmother was a sharecropper in pre-Civil Rights era Louisiana, the very same time and the very same place that Phil Robertson asserts Blacks were “singing and happy.” I had a long conversation with her about the experience of sharecropping and wrote about it (Driving Miss Daisy: A Conversation about Racism, Sharecropping, and the Gospel). Her story is different from the one Mr. Robertson describes.
what my sharecropping grandmother knew and what most all Blacks in that day knew is that you had to comport your self in a certain way around White people. Of course Blacks appeared content! In a day when any hint of disrespect or dissatisfaction could get you fired, your house burned, a family member beaten, or a person killed you learned how to put on a “happy face.” Few Black people would have risked arousing the ire of a White by expressing their true feelings at a particular situation.
It’s possible that Phil Robertson knew Blacks who were genuinely happy. It’s possible that in his community there truly were exceptionally positive relationships between Blacks and Whites. It’s possible, but not likely. What’s probably closer to reality is that he saw Black people who knew the rules. They knew what they could say and do around Whites who held the power. Even if those Whites were lower-income or “white trash” as Mr. Robertson describes it. There was still a cultural curtain separating the races.
We laud the correct stance of Phil Robertson against homosexuality. But we remain quiet about his and the church he attends stance on baptismal regeneration.
Television stations, churches , etc coming to his defense as a "Christian" while never saying anything about the false teachings of him and the church he attends is perplexing.
I've noticed yer awful particular about what sins you speak against, and what sins you don't.
I think Si was the only one actually in the military, and he's not anymore, so who cares?Your a Full Bird......What do you think about them looking like a bunch of Mutts?

has he ever stated though that faith in jesus is not required, or that jesus alone is not sufficient to save sinners?

Seems that speaking out against active Homosexuality is what gets "heat!"
Maybe that's why the church is always bringing it up.
