Toby Keith’s success goes hand in hand with a lot of modern rock radio acts. I’m convinced they’ve somehow boned Satan’s sister. Because while most contemporary songwriters can be accused of not having a flair for the written word, Toby Keith makes John Mayer look like Lord Byron. Seriously. And now he’s pissed off people at a Nobel Prize Concert.
Take this verse from “Hottie”: “Hottie/She’s a hottie/Got a smokin’ little body/String bikini and a barbed wire tat/She’s rocking that cowboy hat.” It’s like Dr. Seuss. After the third stroke. Anyway, Toby Keith has a habit of irritating people by being racist, and also writing songs that sound like Nickelback after six shots. But besides making fun of Islam, writing songs like “Courtesy of the Red White and Blue,” and being Toby Keith, he was recently performing at the Peace Prize Concert in Norway, and he performed “Rapper’s Delight,” with Will Smith. That’s like the fifth circle of hell for me. On one of the verses, mentioning people of all different colors, Toby Keith pulled his eyes back when yellow was mentioned. ENRAGING ASIANS EVERYWHERE.
Here’s the video. I really don’t think it’s a question of whether or not Toby Keith is racist, based off of the songs I’ve heard. It’s like Jeff Dunham. It’s just degrees of annoying racism, that people pay money for. It’s not actually that offensive, but it’s Toby Keith. Whose sense of decorum at events seem more offensive than hand gestures.

Toby Keith is amazing! racist my ass. God forbid he's not he's not cookie cutter or politically correct, because those traits are soooo admirable. and courtesy of the red, white and blue is just patriotic. yeah, wouldn't want that either. maybe he should be politically correct and not show any patriotism, bend over to other nations, rather than even thinking of making a stand, not support saluting the flag, saying the pledge of allegiance, and just be like obama.
