Country singer John Rich calls Clay Aiken 'racist' over RNC tweet

COUNTRY MUSIC FIIIIIGHT!  Singer John Rich has called out Clay Aiken for what he considers to be a "racist" tweet.   Aiken had tweeted "Playing a drinking game … We drink every time we see a black person on screen at the RNC. #soberasamormon."  Rich, apparently taking a break from recording his "Hillbilly Jedi" album to play Twitter police, typed back three responses to Aiken's "idiotic post." Rich said Aiken "should be ashamed," later writing "I thought your charity was for inclusion, not EXCLUSION."   (Rich also cc'ed collaborator Cowboy Troy—who is African American—which kinda seems more racist).  Aiken replied "My charity is, why isn't your party?," and added a winky-face emoticon. OH, IT'S ON NOW. [Source]
