Activists plan to meet with GM over Kid Rock sponsorship
Even so, MLive reports that the National Action Network is pushing for the Kid Rock exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum to be taken down if he does not comply with its requests. If it’s a lot, we’ll see if GM can stand the heat.
“We need to let some open and constructive dialogue occur as a first step, and we’ll go from there” GM spokesman Patrick Morrissey said.
Kid Rock has already had a few, I’m guessing, drunken thoughts published out in the world, like his comments on preferring “skinny white chicks with big tits”, and commenting on loving Beyoncé’s badonk.
Kid Rock, who has been criticized for displaying the flag on stage, has not issued a formal statement, but reportedly said in a network TV interview that protesters could “kiss his -“.
But Morrissey said Thursday in an email that the automaker is “committed to our sponsorship of Kid Rock’s summer tour and are confident that he will provide his fans, many of whom are proud Chevrolet owners, with a spectacular concert experience that celebrates American freedom”.
Kid Rock shared his thoughts about those raging over his use and support of the Confederate Flag in a statement issued to Megyn Kelly. During his speech, the singer made mention of his use of the Confederate Flag.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Kid Rock, Robert Richie, 44, and Confederate Flag usage and support appears to have angered Reverend Al Sharpton followers.
Williams said that he plans to sit down with officials at General Motors and discuss why, he thinks, they should not want their company’s branding connected to such an endorsement.
Kid Rock received the Great Expectations Award from the Detroit NAACP in 2011, and called the accolade “by far the coolest award I’ve received”.
“I’ve never flown that flag with any hate in my heart”, Ritchie told a crowd attending the organization’s annual fundraising dinner that year.
Ted Nugent and Kid Rock have teamed up to record a defiant Confederate flag anthem as US civil rights activists fight to outlaw the banner in light of recent race dramas.
