Toby Keith Shows that Country Music is for the Rednecks

I don't know if any of you have heard this but Toby Keith, the douchbag country singer who I think is single-handedly responsible for all of this unquestioning flag waiving and fake patriotism has a song out now that is literally about lynching. I think that he thinks that it is a good thing. Here are some lyrics:

Well a man come on the 6 o'clock news
said somebody's been shot
somebody's been abused
somebody blew up a building
somebody stole a car
somebody got away
somebody didn't get to far yeah
they didn't get too far


Grandpappy told my pappy back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he'd done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street
For all the people to see

That Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing
whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
too much corruption and crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down
You can bet he'll set 'em down...


So much for country music being wholesome and good for the family. Obviously this redneck fuck needs a good lesson. Let's see if he would be brave enough to talk this shit in Baltimore. I think not.

In addition to this stupid song he was on a radio show where he basically says that black people won't like Obama because he is a black person who talks and carries himself like a Caucasian. You can hear this shit for yourself:



Now when I was growing up and maybe even today I would get told that I act white because I am black. Maybe there is a point there (there isn't), but what Toby "Get er Done" Keith fails to recognize because he is a dumb fuck is that Obama is half white, so maybe it is ok for him to carry himself that way, you know, if there was such a thing as acting black or white. The other thing that pisses me off about his statements is that he has an idea that black people shouldn't act a certain way, namely being smart, and that we are supposed to act stupid all the time. I mean seriously, is this the guy that poor white Americans tell me all of the time is a good American? No wonder these same people are in the bad predicament they are in.

Sigh. Sometimes when I hear shit like this I wonder what kind of country I am living in. Obviously it's nothing to wave a flag about anymore. Unless you are a redneck fuck like this guy.
