As usual, the real story is in the comments

But don’t wait for the smug journalists and editors at this or any other “news” site to take them seriously.

Every word of this is true:

It’s a great country here. We have disasters issues when people pull together and help themselves and I thought the people in Tennessee, unlike — I’m not going to name names — when a natural disaster hits people weren’t standing on a rooftop trying to blame the government, okay. They helped each other out through this.

And Mike Helton, president of NASCAR, Tony Stewart, among some drivers went from the race over to the middle Tennessee area where still a lot of hardworking, tax-paying, legal American citizens have been affected by the floods and are trying to rebuild their lives and they are helping out. And I think that other people around the country, of course the music industry in and around Nashville helping, without making a big deal out of it and I think that’s a good thing.

So of course it is “racist” and “controversial.”

Except to the 700+ commenters, i.e., normal people who are still (for some reason) getting their news from the MSM.

BONUS “racism”:
