Less than seven hours after being asked about the racist legacy of rock entertainer Ted Nugent, the Coeur dâAlene Tribe of American Indians this evening cancelled a scheduled performance next month by the controversial performer....âWe adamantly do not want our casino to be used as a venue for the racist attitudes and views that Ted Nugent espouses,â [executive director of marketing for the tribeâs casino Laura] Stensgar said.
âUnfortunately, when we booked him, we were looking at him from an entertainment perspective, as an 80s rock ân roller, who we thought folks might enjoy,â Stensgar said.
Nugent is full of shitty views, including his claim that President Obama is a "subhuman mongrel." Media Matters has compiled a list of thirteen racist, sexist, and/or homophobic things Nugent has said.
Just saying: Nugent is scheduled to make an appearance at the Emerald Queen Casino next week. I wonder how they feel about giving money and a platform to a racist piece of shit?
