That's one way to mark Black History Month: When Ted Nugent hits the road this year, he's calling his tour "Ted Nugent Black Power 2013," he writes on the conservative website World Net Daily.

In a column that describes "dirty Democrat politicians" as the enemies of black Americans, the right-wing rocker reels off a string of statistics he says demonstrate how ineffective Democratic policies, including Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, have been at helping African-Americans overcome poverty, crime and a lack of education.


"The truth is that the Democratic Party has been the engineer of the destruction of black Americans, and everyone knows it except the very people who need to know it the most – black Americans," he writes.

Nugent, on the other hand, says he celebrates Black History Month "every day," because his "fire-breathing musical career was literally launched by black musical thundergods" including Bo Diddley, Little Richard, James Brown, Wilson Pickett and more.

"There is no doubt that my 2013 tour will be the best of my life," he writes. "With world-class virtuosos paying tribute to our black heroes nightly, it is only fitting that this year's tour is aptly titled, 'Ted Nugent Black Power 2013.' Say it loud: my music is black and I'm proud!"

Nugent hasn't been subtle about his dislike of Democrats, particularly President Obama. The rocker credited the president's re-election last year to "pimps, whores and welfare brats," and met with the Secret Service last year after describing his opposition to the president in violent terms. Nugent attended Obama's State of the Union speech earlier this month without incident.

lol oh fuck lol

has the man ever been to the south?
Does he realize that at the time of LBJ's war on poverty - there were more white americans impoverished than any other group?

that white americans have always topped the list of welfare?

and free government services?

the nerve of this cat.

of rock music being black americans but it seems he's saying this sarcastically.

Nugent has been playing professionally since the 60's at least; of course he knows the musics roots. Besides, it's not like his band the Amboy Dukes was on some ultra-yurrupean Pink Floyd/King Crimson steez or country- and folk-rock stuff; no, they drew from early rock'n'roll, soul and R&B and blues as did most folks who played asskicking rock at the time; it's not like there was a long white tradition of that music then.

And even his classic 70's solo-albums draw a lot from stax-soul and JB. Overall, the influence of 60's soul on hard rock is a bit underrated. People have a tendency to associate its roots primarly with Cream/Hendrix/Blue Cheer power-trio blooze and that may be true of bands like Black Sabbath, Mountain and most of the heavy Zeppelin-stuff. However, bands and artists like Grand Funk, Ted Nugent not to mention the southern rock-type stuff like Skynyrd and BOA often had fairly blatant soul-influences alongside the power-trio stuff.

Anyway, Nugent may be a racist asshole but of course he knows about James Brown and Wilson Pickett and Bo Diddley and their impact on both rock in general and his own music...

Plus Ted rocked with Biz Mark on 'check your head'. Teds out there but he's entertaining as fuck.

And that's all I can manage to say.

I'm ashamed he's from Michigan.

Sometimes I think this dude will just say anything to get people to pay attention to him.

Like an 8 year old making fart noises behind his hand in class.

If he didn't have his "politics", NO ONE would have paid attention to him since the 70s and that's 100% real.

Yeah, That!
