Liberal comedian Bill Maher got into a tense exchange with musician John Mellencamp on Monday after the "Pink Houses" singer-songwriter claimed only 1% or 2% of Black people living in America today have better lives than slaves.

During an appearance on Maher's "Club Random Podcast," Mellencamp revealed he wrote a song called "From the Cotton Field to the Playing Fields" that he never recorded because he believed it was "wrong."

The song’s message was an attempt to show how White people love to have Black entertainers and often exploit them.

Hey Mellon-head, if Blacks have it so bad here, then YOU should pay for their One-Way tickets back to their Ancestral African Homeland. Put up or shut up you Lefty POS. Oh, and your music sucks too.

Bill Maher has said a lot of trashy things in the past. But he’s been surprising on the up-side quite a bit lately.
Perhaps he is finally realizing how wrong modern “progressives” are, and is returning to classical liberalism.

He may be, but he’s absolutely right when it comes to white people exploiting black people in the music industry.

Wiggers treat rap artist like Stepin Fetchits. And white record producers make millions of racist hate speech with a boogie beat.

To everyone in the U.S. who wants to get rid of the 2nd Amendment:
Virtually every other nation on the face of the Earth does not allow you to defend yourself from tyranny and aggression with a firearm. Pick one of those nations, move there and never come back. Either that or get off my planet.

Mellencamp lives on an exclusive retreat for the wealthy here in SC, Dafuski Island just off Hilton Head Island. Interesting enough, the Gullah people, ancestors of freed slaves, also inhabit the island. It wouldn’t be hard for him to get to know a few. They certainly are not impoverished. The Gullah I encounter are very proud, dignified people.

Indeed. And like all leftist douchebags, he lives in a bubble of delusion and idiocy. And like all wealthy leftists, facts don’t matter. Their beliefs and opinions are based upon what they WANT to be true rather than what they KNOW to be true.

Damn, that is really insulting and racist what this moron said. Blacks who aren’t race grifters should be really insulted.

I dont usually take offense for black folks but this is about as bad as it gets. Shows which side the real racists exist. This douche speaks for millions on the Left.
