I grew up around people like Phil Robertson and if I could say something to him it would be, "STOP IT. You're embarrassing white men like me!"

The author of this piece presented a legitimate strategy to respond to this controversy. I never watched Duck Dynasty and wasn't lured in by the marathon programming that A&E had over the holidays.

BTW, what's up with the "gracias"--I'm used to getting a "mahalo" from you!
