So says country singer Toby Keith in a pro-lynching song "Beer For My Horses." In addition to the racist lyrics in the song, Max Blumenthal notes in his Huffington Post article, there's a forthcoming movie inspired by the song. I thought Ludacris was bad but this one takes the prize. And no, Mr. Keith is not talking about giving his horses a keg.
Some of the lyrics from "Beer For My Horses": (for lyrics click here)
"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"Lynching Advocate Toby Keith: Obama "Talks, Acts, And Carries Himself As A Caucasian" by Max Blumenthal, The Huffington Post
Last week, I reported for the Huffington Post that country singer Toby Keith had performed a pro-lynching anthem on the Colbert Report, and would be playing the same song soon on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and a slew of nationally televised talk shows.
The lyrics of Keith's song, "Beer For My Horses," which I transcribed, could hardly be less explicit -- "Hang 'em high, for all the people to see." In my piece, I also noted the racially tinged nature of the song's video and the forthcoming movie that Keith's song inspired. read the full story here.
