Mellancamp: "The song is not written as an indictment of the people of Jena but, rather, as a condemnation of racism."

I really used to like Mellencamp before his social conscious stepped all over his music. Why can’t artists just entertain!

This is a disgrace. There is a hurricane of misinformation out there and Mellencamp jumps on that misinformation for his own self-serving purpose.

Read what really happened:

Mellencamp is a has been. He’s just trying to pick up some quick change the same way Jackson and Sharpton capitalize on any racial incident they can. Mellencamp go back to your small town and drink milk shakes at the tasty freeze or whatever the hell you do.

Tell me, would that condemnation of racism by Mellencamp also include Black racism?

I think it is a shame that someone thought it was funny to hang those nooses in in a tree, or maybe they were just trying to be offensive. I can’t say. But it was wrong to do.

Regardless who was responsible for the nooses in those trees, that did not excuse these young Black men from beating this White guy silly.

If a symbolic offense against Blacks by Whites can be answered with physical violence, then I guess that symbolic offenses against Whites by Blacks can fairly receive the same answer of violence. Huh???????????????? I will clarify that I am using sarcasm here, which I shouldn’t need to do. But that’s the condition of our society now. You have to explain to the senseless masses who are the victims of the government schools. After more than 40 years of Secular Humanism controling the schools of this nation, our young people are acting as though they did descend from unreasoning animals.

Sadly, it is leftist pinheads like Mellencamp who promote the very ideas that have brought us to the place wherein we now find ourselves. They mouth peace, but they reject the source of peace–the God of the Bible.

They have rejected the way of peace, so now they have school campuses that are war zones.

Some people are only inspired by self-hate via years of media brainwashing.

WTF?   October 6th, 2007 - 10:45 pm

Mellencamp is washed up…very sad that he has to start taking up stupid social issues in his stupid music to try and get some attention. Gives me the douche chills.

What does Mellancamp say about this   October 6th, 2007 - 11:22 pm

Will Mellancamp write a song about these and thousands of other cases involving blacks attacking whites?

Is there a career criminal or tyrant the liberal left in this country has not yet embraced?

DJH   October 7th, 2007 - 2:22 pm

Yep, no surprise here. Another so-called ’star’ decides to way in on the wrong side of an issue, cause a stir about something they obviously no nothing, or at least very little, about and then stand on their higher ‘moral’ ground as they stare down at ‘us’ before spitting on us!

It’s absolutely amazing that all we have heard is in support of the ‘Jena 6′ and nary a word about the kid who got BEATEN INTO INCONSCIOUSNESS! How freakin’ ignorant do these people have to be before our country finally stands up and call B******T?
These morons would have us believe that only white people are racists, blacks are only victims. I’ve been the victom of racism from blacks… I guess the only difference is I choose not to go around whining about it and use it as an excuse to hurt someone.
