Detroit's rap, rock, and country star Kid Rock, a vocal supporter of George W, Bush who has performed at past Republican fundraisers, is apparently having a change of heart as Democratic President-Elect Barack Obama heads to the White House.

"I will support [Obama] until I have reason not to," Rock said of Obama's win [via NME.com]. "It's good the U.S. has proved it's not as racist as it's sometimes portrayed."
"It's a great thing for black people," he continued. "Black people were kind to me growing up and taught me hip-hop and the blues."
But what of Rock's famously pro-Republican stance? "I'm patriotic so I'm just happy the people's voice has been heard," he said.

yeah, i didn't bother reading that shit.I'm pretty sure it might be the dumbest thing i could ever read.please stop giving fools like this the floor.america is racist.but I'm damn sure it ain't half as bad as other countries.
Obama has been getting death threats like no president in history. America isn't racist? America should definitely be proud that they were able to get Obama elected, despite the racism.
Oh, go back to the 50s you morons! Then you'll know what a TRULY racist America looks like. This is NOTHING like that! So don't even start with that reverse racist bullshit that all whites are supremacists or closet racists. I'm tired of hearing it. I'm NOT a racist nor are my friends and a lot of other white Americans I know. And we don't need to be told about "white privilege" from uppity multiculturalist douchebags.
You ultraliberals are so blind! You deny any of the progress we've made towards being less racist and more "post-racial" (which is a fantasy and a silly term if I ever heard one) and keep acting like the civil rights era never happened. You claim America is "racist" and all this other crap because it doesn't fit your PERFECT expectations of a 100% non-racist nation.
You try running a country that's as diverse as America and see how non-racist it turns out. God, what idiocy.
Got something to say?
