Are you guys really saying there aren't loads of racists Americans out there? Are you guys being serious??? I've lived in four countries, US for 6 years, UK for 6 years, Spain for 5 years and France for 7 years. The countries where I've observed the most racism were Spain and the United States. That's my point of view…but bashing this guy's music because, as a non-American, he's saying a lot of people are racists in the US is just stupid. Plus this guy has lived a large portion of his life in your country, he's just not embarrassed to speak out. Open up your history books!!!

Dave who? Wasn't he a one semi-hit wonder before the state media saturated the radiowaves with the awful rap crap? I defy anyone to point to a Dallas area current hard rock station. If you live in the D/FW area, you better like the hip-hop crap or country with maybe old rock sprinkled every hour or so.

Liberals are insane. They are all anal retentive racist. They are the racist they see it everywhere. I grew up in a neighborhood were we all called each other names no matter what you were, skin color, religion, or what country your grandfather came from. We all got along, no one took it serious and all of us that have stayed in touch are still pals and I am going back to 1960 some even earlier. As an actor in Boston during the 70s I was in a lot of plays that we said everything to anyone. No one came up to me and warned me or I warned them a were using certain words. Hell, we were ACTING, we were playing a character. One of the best directors I work with was a buddy of mine who was black and he directed me in a gangster play between black gangsters and italian gangsters and I don't have to tell you what the dialogue was like. We all have a freaking blast doing this play. No one cared. As Dennis Prager once said there are two kinds of people in the world, the decent and the indecent and they come in all colors, sizes, races, creeds you name it. Somewhere as always the liberals tried to fix something that wasn't broken in my generation and all this hate and anger came out. Now at my age I have met a lot of conservatives of all colors and it is as if time as come full circle. None of us see color we see Americans that love this country and we all have the same belief in the same God and for our country. I don't see any anger in these gatherings just a lot of smiles and laughter. Kind of reminds me of those summers in the early 1960s.
