WHAT confused

I HATE HATE HATE HATE hearing that bullshit. When someone won't embrace someone cause there to white or to back. I just don't see why it matters confused i wonder why they would say that? cause she sings folk music? and folk is to ''white?'' smh

I will say she is a big mystery, i have her albums. But i know little about her personal life... which i like wink

She does bike races.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
