Setting the Duck Dynasty Dude Straight

I SAW THE SHOW "DUCK DYNASTY' once, by accident, and I would love to see more of it. I loved it, so hilarious it was. I don't have cable or satellite TV, so my chances are slim, but you never know... however....This Mr. Robertson gentleman, one of the long bearded ones, and all those who are now staunchly defending him are off the track, and here's why.....he said, as you know, that before civil rights, blacks were generally happy. He also said that homosexual sex is bestiality. Doubtless the few blacks he has encountered briefly and randomly happened to appear happy to him when on occasion he saw them. That, of course, means nothing. All it means is that Robertson saw a tiny minute fraction of all American blacks, for tiny minute fractions of their lives. We all know that blacks were miserable under slavery, segregation, and during the civil rights era. This is a rock solid fact. They wanted freedom, and they wanted equality. They still do. I mean, duh. Who wouldn't, right? Earth to Mr. robertson... Thomas Jefferson treated his slaves well, better than anyone else, and they were fundamentally content. Did they want freedom and equality, rather than slaves at Monticello? Yes. They said so. There are several very good histories of the black situation in America, written by historical scholars who did enormous amounts of research, and Mr. Robertson would do well to read one or two, because they use direct quotes and verified events to clearly show that, guess what? Blacks in America have been treated badly for four hundred years, and they never liked it, nor were happy with it. With reagrd to homosexual sex being "bestiality", so it is, Mr. Robertson, so it is. But, guess what? So is heterosexual sex, "bestiality". Animals having animal sex. Beasts of the earth, albeit highly intelligent beasts, procreating. Folks fucking like foxes. Conservatives are defending Robertson's right to say these things; but its irrelevant, and misses the point, as conservatives usually do. Everyone knows he has the right to say these things, but guess what? Others have an equal right to find his comments false and disgusting, and his employers have the right to fire him for angering his viewing public. One crackpot right wing KKK member wannabe compared Mr. Robertson to Rosa parks. Both are courageous, he blathered; Parks fought racism, and Robertson is fighting the attack on Christian values, particularly the Christian value wherein homosexuality is a sin. Wrong again. Nobody is attacking Christian values, merely by disagreeing with them. A disagreement is not an attack. Nobody questions anyone's right to have or defend Christian values, and nobody should ever question anyone's right to disagree with them.
