Brad Paisley on "Accidental Racist" Message: "I Don't Know"
FUSE TV - Brad Paisley on "Accidental Racist" Message: "I Don't Know"
UPDATE: Brad Paisley addressed the controversial track "Accidental Racist" on The Ellen Degeneres Show Tuesday, confessing that even he's confused by the LL Cool J collabo's meaning. When asked about the song's ultimate message, Paisley replied, "I don't know!" He said that listeners needed to make up their own minds, adding that "it wasn't up to the media, Hollywood or talk radio to deal with [racial tension] anymore. It's music's turn to have that conversation." Watch the explanation above.

If you were anywhere near a computer Tuesday, you probably heard of "Accidental Racist," the new collaboration between country star Brad Paisley and LL Cool J that tried to heal the country's divisive and contentious issues on race relations, only to be roundly condemned and laughed at by everyone (including, admittedly, us). The vitriol and mockery was damn near universal; if there was a Metacritic for songs, this would get 0.
The singer took to Twitter to tell the world that he "wouldn't change a thing" about his terrible, terrible song that likely set race relations back a decade. After retweeting a message from Ronald Reagan's son about not listening to naysayers, Paisley addressed fans and curious onlookers:
