Kid Rock posts new profane rant, but says 'I love black people!'

[TexasTowelie]

DETROIT — Kid Rock released a statement Monday morning addressing the criticism he has received since being announced as the headline opener for Little Caesars Arena here.

His post on Facebook was lengthy, profane and truculent, but he still isn't saying whether he's running for U.S. Senate from Michigan or not. The rocker (real name Robert Ritchie) has been teasing the possibility for months, suggesting he'd run as a President Trump-supporting Republican.

But in his latest rant, he seemed more interested in promoting his upcoming concerts in Detroit. "We have been beyond working hard and have something we think all in attendance will enjoy (as long as you don’t mind a few f-bombs here and there! lol)," he boasted.

The decision to have Kid Rock as the opening act for the new arena with six consecutive shows starting Tuesday has been called out by various civil rights groups in Detroit, as well as the Detroit Free Press' Stephen Henderson.

1. he seems to be doing what Trump did in previous election years and whether he will run

it was mostly pr for whatever crap he was selling at the time.

2. Shut up and sing!

Okay, wait, don't do that either.

3. To be honest, I've never listened to any of his music.

From what I gather that is a good thing.

5. Nor have I. I'm imaging a sort of Nickelback-Limp Bizkit fusion sound

but without the intellectual depth.

4. Uh oh, I see competition.

The Nugent (Ted Nugent) is from Detroit too. Do you think Uncle Ted might give him a run for his money?
