Brad Paisley’s “Accidental Racist” isn’t all bad. As Stephen Colbert pointed out on last night’s Colbert Report, it did indeed succeed in bringing people of different races together: “This song has united all Americans — not just Black and White, but Latino, Asian, Muslim, Pacific Islander, Inuit — all of us to join our voices as one and declare ‘this song sucks.'”
And, look, if it wasn’t for Paisley’s original, we’d never get Colbert’s own version (featuring Alan Cumming!) titled “Oopsie-Daisy Homophobe.” God bless Brad Paisley and God bless the USA.
