"What does that even mean?" the audibly shocked Beck replied.
"Well, I don't know what that means," Keith drawled, "but I think that that's what they would say. Even though the black society would pull for him I still think that they think in the back of their mind that the only reason he is in [the general election] is because he talks, acts and carries himself as a Caucasian."

Of course, Toby Keith is the definitive voice of the "Black People" and Barack Obama is the Democratic Candidate only because of his look and his diction not his abilities and the overwhelming fact that AMERICANS believe that he is the better candidate.
-
He has a somewhat point
the Black Society is falling because of that mindset
LUCKLY it's becoming a small percentage and that percentage dont vote lol
UNless of course p.diddy comes back with his Vote or die campaign-

I know exactly what he means and I'm sure most of you do as well, you don't hear Obama throwing slang around, he is very careful to not speak in any way other then mainstream, he dresses the role as well, this is also alienating him from many Blacks so much so that you have people like Jesse Jackson wanting to cut his balls off because he talks down to Black people "his words". The other side is he is half white something the Black community or the media really don't want to talk about, personally I find it offensive that he denigrates his white ancestry and plays up the Black. I find it dishonest to a degree but I understand it totally, he wants to be the first.
-
If he means that Obama carries himself with class, respect, and intelligence, I'll take that as a compliment.
Unfortunately FAR TOO MANY people do not embody these traits independent of race, so therefore behavior can't be considered a "black" or "white" thing without bringing completely flawed racist stereotypes into the equation.
There are "wiggers" like K-Fed that I'm sure Toby Keith doesn't think too highly of, and there are plenty of classy black men whose behavior embodies respect and kindness.
I simply think he was trying to say Obama carries himself with much more country-type and/or respectful values than, I don't know, Ludacris?
Still, it came across wrong. Obama is acting like an excellent role model period and his race shouldn't be brought into it.
-
i am so sick of this whole presidential race having racial undertones to it.
i can not wait for the day when we can look at someone based off of who they are, and not what they look like.
someone call me when we get to that point...-

I don't think Obama is "acting" either. I think he genuinely is a good man.
-
Why is it that acting civil and decent is a "white" thing?
Why is it that gangster shit is considered a "black" thing?
This is closeted racism and it's going to get much much worse before this campaign ends.
-
The saying goes "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" I agree Obama appears to be a sophisticated, articulate individual. I do not trust his judgment or his ability to lead this country, he may be a nice fellow so was Jimmy Carter.
-
"Well, I don't know what that means." YOU JUST SAID IT. What do you mean you don't know what it means? I'm glad Backwoods is speaking on behalf of "those people".

I accuse Toby Keith of being a proper gentleman, but ACTING like a tough-talkin' truck driving shit kickin' cousin humpin' redneck in a cynical ploy to sell records to rural Southerners suffering from generations of inbreeding.
Mr. Keith knows he would never be accepted into "red" society if he were seen using a napkin, drinking a latte or whiping his ass with anything other than his fingers.
He's just acting red!
Oh sure, Toby ACTS like he is a mildly retarded racists who "done don't nothing bout no fancy things like dem thar iPods and such." -- but it's just an act.
There used to be a YouTube video floating around (apparently taken without Mr. Keith's knowledge) clearly showing him drinking herbal tea, wearing a necktie, and updating his financial information on his computer in Excel using (I shit you not) a complex pivot table....while listening to NPR!
The video was taken down after Mr. Keith's team of lawyers threatened to sue YouTube.
Toby Keith is a phony who is just acting "red" in order to sell records!
Come out of the closet Mr. Keith.

In related news Toby Keith has just been hired by the McCain campaign in order to "red-up" McCain in order to win more rural voters.
Apparently it's working.
McCain has been seen blowing his nose into his t-shirt, engaging in lengthy rants on the stump about how the "Jews control government" and, most recently, responded to a complex question regarding steel tarrifs by screaming "Fuck you, ya faggot!" and then chanting "USA! USA! USA!" for ten minutes straight.
Will acting "red" swing the election decidedly in McCain's favor? It just might. In polls taken immediately after McCain's "red" stunts his approval rating in 15 states has just shot up 73 percent.
Campaign experts believe that if McCain actually beats an Iraqi or a homosexual to death live on camera (while chanting "USA! USA!" of course) he'll achieve an insurmountable lead over Obama.
"I done do really like that McCain feller," one, uh, rural Republican voter said. "He's tough on national security. And he keeps dem queers in their place too."
-
What an idiotic thing to say.
-
acting white is something toby'll never have to do.
-
A white man speaking for black people. Enough said.
-
He should act white(whatever that means), he is white, is there any reason why he should be considered more black than white?
-
So, if you speak correctly then you are "acting white." Then what is Toby Keith acting like?
-
Wow
Is it not 2008??
What a stupid thing to say....
I hate him music anyway. haha

Toby Keith panders to the redneck , wifebeating , klansmen that controls the Republican party. Never liked him or his pride for southern ignorance. I say bury the fu#*^r in a confederate flag, boycott anything associated with his rasict ass and move on. Oh yes, I almost forgot, maybe drop his country ass off in the middle of Gary IN with the sign Bruce Willis wore in Die Hard 3.

"Now, Keith has trained his sights on Barack Obama, attacking him in racially tinged language that startled even the notoriously reactionary radio jock Glenn Beck. During Keith's appearance on the July 30 broadcast of Beck's show, he remarked, "I think the black people would say he [Obama] don't talk, act or carry himself as a black person." "
Oh, yeah! Pop cultural Amerika's two foremost authorities on cultural diversity and contemporary ethnicity in America, the klansman Toby Keith and the Lebensborn Hitler jungen Glenn Beck. I suppose they know better than anyone what 'acting white' is.
-
If, like me, you are voting for Senator Obama, Toby Keith is the perfect example of the mindset you'll be up against.
Don't ever forget that.
