I saw a Facebook post (not a friend) showing that if you play his music at 10, you will make black people cry. Ha ha!!

Over at Saving Country Music, most of the reaction is “what about rap music, why can they use it and we can’t??”

My “I’m not racist” friend during the National anthem last night: “at least they have one white singer”

I complimented nobody.

Please don’t respond.

 

It’s complicated

 

Quite a black and white issue ...
