Michigan Man Confronts Ted Nugent Over BLM Comment at Rally [NSFW VIDEO]
I'm disgusted that 15-year-old me bought the 'Scream Dream' album, although I think it was part of a '13 LPs for a penny' deal and hope that Ted Nugent's cut of the purchase was minuscule.
The former rockstar faced off with a Black man in Michigan on Friday (9/17) after making disparaging remarks about the Black Lives Matter movement.
Nugent provoked the exchange with a not-so-polite offer to anyone in the crowd which was gathered in Centreville to support Michigan Republican candidates.
“Aren’t there any BLM punks who want to come up and harass me?” Nugent asked the crowd. The exchange starts at the 5:30 mark in the video below.
Centreville resident Jalen Brown approached the stage saying, "What's wrong with Black Lives Matter?"
"Black Lives don't give a sh*t about black lives," Nugent clapped back. "They're standing by while Blacks are slaughtering each other. Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization."
Brown was offered the microphone and tried to rally the mostly conservative crowd by chanting, "Black Lives Matter too," but was greeted with a lukewarm response.
He later told Grand Rapids TV station WWMT that he was most offended by Nugent's assertion that the Black Lives Matter movement is a terrorist organization.
“I love the Constitution, I love the rights it should stand for. There are people who are taking those and misconstruing them and taking them in a different direction than what it should be,” Brown said.
