'Duck Dynasty' family quits show after suspending Phil Robertson for racist and homophobic comments

After Phil Robertson was "indefinitely suspended" for his racial and homophobic comments in a GQ interview, his family is threatening to leave the A&E network for good.

According to TMZ, the family is teaming up after the scandal broke and threatens to walk possibly costing the network to lose several hundreds of thousands dollars.

A&E released a statement regarding the racist and homophobic comments Phil made saying:

 "We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty," A&E said. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil on hiatus from filming indefinitely."

In the January issue, Robertson expressed his opinions regarding homosexuals saying,  "It seems like, to me, a vagina - as a man - would be more desirable than a man's anus," Robertson added, "That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men."

In addition, Robertson is being slammed for his racist comments for claiming the pre-civil rights era were exaggerated because he never witnessed the extremes, "I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person [in the pre-civil rights era South]. Not once. 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."
