Rev. Jackson: Phil Robertson 'More …
Jesse Jackson has decided to weigh in on the inflammatory comments that Phil Robertson made to GQ about gays and African Americans.
In an interview with Drew Magary, the "Duck Dynasty" star said the Nazis needed Jesus, that he never saw the mistreatment of African Americans while growing up in Louisiana before the civil rights era and that homosexuality was a sin.
A&E has already suspended Robertson, but Reverend Jackson, his Rainbow PUSH Coalition and GLAAD are demanding to meet with network execs, along with Cracker Barrel's CEO, to discuss the future of all "Duck Dynasty" memorabilia or content.

"These statements uttered by Robertson are more offensive than the bus driver in Montgomery, Alabama, more than 59 years ago," Jackson said in a statement obtained by ABC News.
"At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law. Robertson's statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was 'white privilege.'"
The release, dated Dec. 23, requests a meeting within 72 hours with A&E and Cracker Barrel execs and urges the network to uphold Robertson's suspension.
Jackson and GLAAD said they believe it's not right for a personality with such a large platform to benefit from such comments. RACE BAITING SCUM MUST HAVE FINALLY FIGURED A WAY TO EXTORT MONEY FROM CRACKER BARREL AND AE ON THIS ISSUE. And it keeps his worthless ass in the limelight for a spell. Say, anybody know whatever happened to that massive fraud and stolen money from his corrupt Rainbow Push scam operation? Or did his dem party masters just sweep it under the rug for their loyal slave? Quite likely the biggest fraud and self-serving son of a bitch this nation has ever seen , well with the exception of the obamas that is. The dumbass equating the civil rights movement with the sexual perversion movement. Toeing the Obama government line all the way. That's a good little well pampered bought out slave Jesse. :laugh: Truth is a bitter pill to swallow for some. I fully expect to be castigated for my presentation of it here now. Yet when has that ever stopped me? :laugh:--Tyr
