In Defense of Duck Dynasty Dude (Sort Of)

Unless you think all speech against homosexuality is hate speech, there is nothing hateful about what dude said.  Read for yourself.  Robertson doesn't couple the standard insane comparisons to bestiality with language calling for a jihad against homosexuals.  He's just a dude stating what he "knows" to be true.

I completely understand why people who agree with Robertson would be very, very upset that he is being punished.  American pop culture has just made it crystal clear that they only want to see rural whites at their most buffoonish.  Yes to an offensive caricature of rural life.  Yes to dudes out in the wilderness taking all kinds of stupid risks.  Yes to words with two syllables or less.

Sharing an opinion that challenges the dominant narrative?  Shut the fuck up, redneck.  We don't pay you to think or to have opinions.  We pay you to be a stereotype that makes the dominant class say, wow, my life could be worse, I could be those guys.

Now get back to cooning.
