"Suspicious Minds": Trump accused of racism for honoring Elvis, as he awards Medal of Freedom to Babe Ruth, Scalia
Liberals have also protested Trumps award for Adelson, the wife of GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson. The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman called the award to Adelson ludicrous
—
Krugman is obviously an anti-Semite. (See how that works. If We can’t criticize Soros, Krugman can’t criticize Adelson.)
This is how the liberals make themselves look like fools and pin heads. If the president were a Dem, none of this snippy, Sour Grape stuff would have been submitted for posting.
Maggots in brains of sentient fecal matter.
Oh, like other Nobel Peace Prize were insulted when the award was bestowed on Barry for what? Getting elected?
I'm glad President Trump knows that no matter what he does these nattering nabobs will complain - so do what you want.
Orrin Hatch?
So now the freakin KING is a racist..no matter what President Trump does, some empty headed leftist idiot will find SOMETHING to trash him on. Its Elvis Presley, the King! Let me guess, is Babe Ruth racist too, maybe he blinked too many times at a black person..RACIST
Hey, Klugman, you self aggrandize jackass, Donald Trump is President, and you work for one of the largest producers of bird cage bottom liners in the country if not the world.
that guy looks as it he’s taken a lot of balls to the chin
Not that I care one way or another but Led Zepplin and Elvis stole a lot from black music/ Call it cultural appropriation is you want. But the only way white kids were going to buy “race music” in 1957 (what it was called back then) would be through a white intermediary named Elvis.
Led Zepplin aka Jimmy Page has been sued many times for not crediting old black blues musicians. Blacks won (their heirs won) most of the lawsuits. As far as I know Elvis/ Colonel Parker was more honest and credited song writers properly.
Elvis sang black music and gave credit, that’s all that matters. Wynton Marsalis plays Bach and Vivaldi and also gives credit.
OMG!!! Anyone who knows Elvis’ biography KNOWS Elvis style was an omage to and fusion of the Black gospel church choirs, which he himself sang in, and other influences highlighted at the time he entered the music entertainment field.
His sound was soulfull, country, bluesy and rock altogther, which is why his sound caught on with so wide an audience so quickly.
“the Usual Suspects!” Why can’t we round them up? It would be so nice to stuff a sock where it would do the most good!
Beta Cuck fag. Nobody asked your virtue signaling opinion on jack$hit, Dick. You’re not fit to hold Elvis’s jock.
My question is where was Krugman when Obama was handing out this swag like it was trick or treat candy, handing it out to any and all comers? Where were you then Krugman? Crickets.
LOL, I thought you were talking to me at first.
Elvis combined country, gospel and blues all by himself. He made his own style. He no more stole music from blacks than he stole music from
Bill Monroe. Elvis Presley was the greatest singer who ever lived. He could sing anything and never took a singing less in his life. He was the greatest entertainer of the 20th Century. To hell with liberal racists.
Good Grief!!! The Queen has honored musicians (make a lot of money) Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney and dozens more.
Elvis also served the Nation in the Army - he should be honored - for all the taxes he paid - (to the looney left)!!!!!!
Elvis Presley frequently dined as a guest at Rufus Thomas’ house in the mid-1950s.
Their argument is hogwash.
