So apparently Conservatives are not being told about the duck racism.

Talked to my mother who is a religious extremest and teabagger light, she is on face book 5-6 hours a day and all her friends are just like her, so of course she is outraged that Phil was suspended and wanted to talk about it and how he was wrongly suspended, but when i mentioned the racist comment and how advertisers generally don't want to be associated with racism and homophobia and this is the reason he was suspended, she was surprised and had no idea about Racist comments, she even claims she read the entire article posted by her friends and also that Rush didn't mention Phils comments.

So apparently the right wing bubble is trying to hide this tidbit of information, i think we should inform them that they are supporting a racist who is saying only white trash are involved with working class black people and that he seems to be against civil rights after saying black people were happier with out it.



The quote-

“I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once,” he said. “Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash. We’re going across the field … They’re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.”
