\"\"Charley Pride Has Enough Of Whoopi\u2019s Race-Baiting, Shuts Her Down On Live TV!<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Country music legend Charley Pride appeared on \u201cThe View\u201d a couple of weeks ago to promote his new album, titled \u201cMusic in My Heart.\u201d He delivered a performance of \u201cKiss An Angel Good Morning\u201d that would make any country music fan swoon, but during the interview portion, he dropped a truth bomb on the liberal hosts of the daytime talk show which was totally unexpected. Having had enough of Whoopi Goldberg\u2019s race-baiting, Pride decided to shut her down right on live television.<\/p>\n

\"\"DOOPY Goldberg asked the legendary country music legend what it was like to earn a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as the only \u201cman of color\u201d in the country music industry?.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I answer that,\u201d replied Pride, \u201cI told my wife I wasn\u2019t going to get long-winded. I\u2019m going to have to condense this down.\u201d He continued, \u201cYou just mentioned, \u2018of color.\u2019 When I first started in this business, one reporter said,
\n\u2018Charley, how does it feel to be the Jackie Robinson of country music?
\nCharley, how does it feel to be the first Negro country singer? Charley, how does it feel to be the first Afro-American country singer?’\u201d
\nPride\u2019s answer was one for the ages. \u201cI said \u2018I feel the same way I did when I was colored,’\u201d he replied.
\nPride went on to say…
\n“Sadly, race relations seem to be in worse shape nowadays than they were back when I signed with RCA. Perhaps it has something to do with the entitlement mentality that seems to have swept our nation in recent decades, which has been coupled with an aversion to hard work.<\/p>\n

People now use race as an excuse; minorities allege that they are owed something. Back in the day, if you wanted to make it in this world as a black man, you didn\u2019t waste time screaming about reparations and racial inequality, you pulled up your bootstraps and went to work because, at the end of the day, you were only limited by your willingness to put in the effort. If you were willing to put in the work, you could accomplish anything a white man could”.<\/p>\n

Charley Pride is proof. He\u2019s sold more records than almost any other country music artist, despite the fact that country music\u2019s fan base is largely white.<\/p>\n

This also flies in the face of a stereotype the left has concocted for those who listen to country music as racist rednecks. It appears that\u2019s not the case since it is these white country music fans who have been buying a \u201ccolored\u201d man\u2019s records for decades.<\/p>\n
