Seems Blake Shelton has tweeted some questionable comments in the past.

https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/blake-sheltons-fans-slam-singer-over-his-alleged-sexist-racist-comments-twitter-1576075?utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=rss&utm_content=/rss/yahoous/news&yptr=yahoo

In reading the comments within the linked story, one angry responder said ...

""Absolutely zero people should be surprised that Blake Shelton, a country singer from Oklahoma, is possibly racist and homophobic."

Am I the only one who sees the irony here?

I see it as well, Off topic but i was watching Sheriff Clarke's press conference after the Milwaukee shootings and whilst i agreed with him entirely and admire how brutally honest he was, I was thinking to myself, Imagine if a White cop held the same press conference? He would get ripped to shreds for what he said, There's double standards for Blacks from every angle in our society.
