Beyoncé fans are pissed at John Schneider
The actor known for his role in the 1979 TV show “Dukes of Hazzard” is being labeled a racist after comparing Beyoncé to a dog marking its territory when she put out two country-themed tracks this month.
“They’ve got to make their mark, just like a dog in a dog walk park. You know, every dog has to mark every tree, right? So that’s what’s going on here,” Schneider, 63, said while appearing on conservative media outlet One American News. The comment came after the anchor asked Schneider his thoughts on fans pressuring an Oklahoma radio station to play the “Single Ladies” songstresses new country music.

Not racist
It’s the roof of the general Lee. They’ll always be racists because of that.
I think the metaphor’s a bit tortured, yes, but racist, no
What was the racist comment? Is she or is she not trying to leave her mark on the genre and/or her career?
The fact that he references a dog makes it racist? What about a cat, would that be OK? Or a llama? Perhaps a rabbit?
Why does he hate dogs so much that he has to denigrate them?
I don’t follow her or her partner so this is the first I’ve heard she did some country.
He should use a dingbat.
He said they, not she. And he included a white singer in the “they” group.
It ain’t about being black, the song sucks!
It was rude. He could have compared her to Barbra Streisand making a Christmas album.
Her SHEET "music" would do the trick.
To dogs right?
Caninist.
Not racist. Territorialist, Caninist, Specisist, maybe.
But Not racist.
Not racist. But certainly douchy. Of course that’s country. It’s always been big on “don’t play this, we’ve declared it not country.”
I believe alpacas are metaphorically safe.
I don’t like Beyoncé’s music, but I don’t wish to denigrate those who do. For those people who like Beyoncé’s music, “denigrate” means put down.
Very good !
I agree. There are different ways he could have said the same thing. Many fans of Beyonce already specialize in playing The Victim. This controversy only seems to validate their paranoia. I recall a few years back when Carlos Santana said Beyonce is an entertainer “but not a real singer”. He was scorched on Twitter for several days before being convinced to walk that casual statement back and “clarify” things.
At first I thought I was seeing Mel Gibson’s photo, not John S. Mel has a history of making very blunt assessments about other people.
