The Detroit chapter of Al Sharpton’s National Action Network plans to protest a string of concerts Kid Rock will give next week. Kid Rock will open the new $860 million Little Caesars Arena by playing six nights in a row starting next Tuesday. From NBC News:

The request to cancel Kid Rock’s concerts came from the National Action Network’s Detroit chapter, which plans a protest next week. The group has previously criticized Kid Rock for displaying the Confederate flag at concerts.

“This is the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said the Rev. Charles Williams II, president of the network’s Detroit chapter. “When you hire Kid Rock, who is known to be dog-whistling and cat-calling to white supremacist organizations and the white supremacist community, alt-right, whatever you want to call them, and you take our tax dollars to do that? That’s wrong.”

In May 2011, the NAACP’s Detroit chapter gave Kid Rock an award for his work in the community. About 80 percent of Detroit’s estimated 680,000 residents are black.

Is Al ‘Jew Them Down’ Sharpton still in the shakedown racket seeking a cash payoff or threat of street agitation and negative press?

I guarantee you, you’ll love his show - so long as some profanity doesn’t offend you.

Sharpton must smell money in the water otherwise he never shows up. Just like Jesse.

It is could be slanderous to say that Kid Rock IS specifically dog-whistling and cat-calling to white supremacists. Got any proof Reverend or are you a liar?

Only people like Sharpton can hear dog whistles. I wonder why that is?

From what I’ve seen Kid Rock is a fighter like Trump.

It’s totally possible that during a concert with protesters outside he says something about it and gets the crowd to give a loud, collective FU! to the good reverend.
