Even TED NUGENT Thinks JANN WENNER Is Racist

Jann Wenner is having a fairly horrible week, and for good motive.

Wenner was faraway from the Rock & Roll Corridor Of Fame board of administrators as a result of some pretty racist and sexist comments made during an interview with The New York Occasions over his new e-book The Masters. When requested why he did not interview any ladies or black musicians for a e-book concerning the historical past rock, he mentioned “Insofar as the ladies, none of them have been as articulate sufficient on this mental stage.”

He later added: “I suppose while you use a phrase as broad as ‘masters,” the fault is utilizing that phrase. Perhaps Marvin Gaye, or Curtis Mayfield? I imply, they simply did not articulate at that stage.”

Wenner was blasted by Living Colour, who mentioned that the “very concept of a e-book known as The Masters, which blatantly omits the important contributions of black, individuals of shade and ladies to Rock & Pop Tradition speaks to a a lot bigger and extra systemic drawback.” The band mentioned later added that Wenner‘s feedback smacked of “sexist gatekeeping, and exclusionary conduct” and known as out the man’s half-assed apology.

Now Ted Nugent has chimed in and even he thinks that Wenner went too far. Which is frankly superb – Nugent has had a questionable historical past in terms of racism, so clearly Wenner screwed up fairly dangerous.

“Jann Wenner righteously and splendidly created Rolling Stone journal to rejoice the artists which have by no means been given credit score besides by me and us right here at ‘Nightly Nuge’ on My Actual America’s Voice that the music that touches our soul got here from black heroes who had extra soul as a result of they needed to get out of the curse of slavery and rejoice freedom musically,” mentioned Nugent in a YouTube video.

“[Wenner was removed] due to racist and and misogynistic assaults that mentioned that black and feminine artists should not articulate sufficient to reference in his e-book about rock and roll historical past, which is so clearly biased and so clearly racist and so clearly misogynistic. And people are the issues that he has all the time accused me of…”

So there you have got it. We agreed with Ted Nugent for as soon as.
