U.S. racism 'everywhere,' says Dave Matthews

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Watching the Dave Matthews Band moments before they take the stage is like watching a football team bursting out of the locker room before a big game.

They slap hands. Bump fists. Jump up and down, exclaiming "Feel the love, feel the love!" The energy in the air is electric.

And when they walk out on stage, the energy explodes into thousands of shining faces. People dance in the aisles. Others sing every word to every song. A few share funny cigarettes.

For more than three hours, the jubilant atmosphere creates a sense of community between an amphitheater filled with strangers and the ethnically diverse musicians leading the charge on stage.

But then DMB is all about community -- creating its own and giving back. BAMA Works Fund -- the group's charitable foundation -- has handed out $5 million in grants to worthy causes, including schools and victims of Hurricane Katrina. Video

They are the same ones who call Walter E. Williams, Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes, and Condi Rice “racists”, “race traitors”, and “uncle toms”.

It isn’t about the race, it is about the politics. The charge of racism is just a slur.

They are defensive when their politics are called Socialist. They deny it. They point to long standing socialist programs in America. And yet they throw around the Fascist word at Republicans at every turn.

Bob Dylan learned there is still segregation in this nation when he wandered through a neighborhood “he wasn’t supposed to enter” and got hassled by the police for not carrying ID.

And I think a lot of them, behind closed doors, do say it.

This is a al Mo Dowd who heard the “boy” after Joe Wilson’s “You Lie”.

We’ve moved on now to leftists telling us what is in people’s heads - that only they can here.

IOW - Orwell’s thoughtcrime. Brought to you by idiots like Dowd and Matthews.

LOL! A playlist with one DM track is one too many...

There are a few exceptions, but “jam” bands suck.
