This is why there should probably be a critical thinking test for Twitter users.
While co-hosting the Country Music Awards on ABC Wednesday night, country music star Brad Paisley made a joke at the CMAs viewers’ expense by commenting on the mostly-white audience.
“Everybody, there’s usually a show on Wednesdays, a new show that I’ve fallen in love with; it’s so funny. And so if any of you tune into ABC tonight expecting to see the new show, “Black-ish,” yeah, this ain’t it. In the meantime, I hope you’re all enjoying ‘white-ish.’”

Predictably in this post-racial world, people who can’t tell the difference between talking about race and a racist comment began lambasting Paisley and the country music genre for its inherent prejudices against blacks.

The Blaze compiled some tweets that present the other side of things.
