Country star Garth Brooks was scheduled to appear on several shows this week, including Thanksgiving edition of “The Tonight Show.” But his conscience won’t let him do it anymore. Because of … Ferguson?

More from The Hollywood Reporter:

“We landed in NY last night to the news of the civil unrest that was going on in our nation. To spend the day promoting our stuff like nothing was wrong, seemed distasteful to me,” Brooks wrote in a statement posted on his Facebook page. “I will gladly reschedule any or all appearances the networks will allow. Love one another, g”

Brooks appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, but that appearance was pretaped. The country superstar was scheduled to appear on Tuesday’s Live! With Kelly and Michael, on Thursday’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Friday’s Today.

That would require a mass of class.

This is a mope-out. Country made wimpy.

Johnny Cash and Garth? No comparison!

He’s a “cat.” All guilt-free, and metro.

And nobody should buy any of his music, either. Garth would want it that way. He’s a caring kind of guy.

Now I have seen it all! A wigger country music has been. Please just go back to were ever you have been lost for the last few years.

Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

African American????? You mean black guy, right?

[Lucas McCain]

I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. I had been a fan of country music for many years until this guy almost single-handedly ruined it—at least for me.

Too bad he can’t read.

He could have learned the truth about Michael Brown and the truth about what happened to the Dixie Chicks when they got their political nerve twisted up with their career nerve.

Oh, you’re just such a good little country white boy, Garthie

Go join your friends in low places . . you deserve each other

Garth was hand picked by the entertainment industry to serve as the trojan horse to destroy traditional country music and usher in a new PC era...another institution destroyed by liberalism. Nashville is now filled with the 2nd generation of Garth Brooks remakes and it is sickening to listen to.

Thank God for my old cassette tapes of Conway, Waylon, Tom T Hall and the list goes on.

I detest Nashville more than Rap music

Maybe he will do a benefit concert to help all the Ferguson blacks and whites who had their businesses burned down by leftist anarchists, and the black and white employees who lost their jobs when their employers were looted and burned out.

Hey Brooks, if you’re reading this, I can’t think of the title of single song of yours. Did somebody say you were a singer once?

LOL!
