Ted Nugent owned a ranch in South Africa during the apartheid era and made racist statements about Black people, claiming they are a different breed of man.

As it happens, back in 1990, Ted Nugent had a ranch in South Africa that he used for bow hunters. Really? Yep. What? Yep. He's that guy? Oh, yeah. He's a fucking... Jesus Christ! Did he write a song called I Love Rhodesia, too? Might as well have. Christ! When asked about his ranch and apartheid, Ted said, quote, My being there isn't going to affect the political structure. Besides, apartheid isn't that cut and dry. All men are not created equal. Oh, boy! The preponderance of South Africa is a different breed of man. Whoa. Okay, so let me, let me, let me, actually, you know what? Let's point this, let's get this down to the very brass tacks, Dan. Uh-huh. All right? Apartheid is incredibly cut and dry. Not according to Ted Nugent. In fact, you could say that this is a situation that is a black and white issue. You're either good or bad on apartheid. Zero middle ground. I mean, he said literally right after that, all men are not created equal. Exactly! So it's not, it's not, there's no murky understanding. He literally understands. I thought that that truth was self-evident that all men were created. Well, hold on now one second. Not in South Africa. So he says the preponderance of South Africa is a different breed of man. And then he follows that up by saying, quote, I mean that with no disrespect. What? God damn it. Somebody, somebody, God damn it. Nugent went on to say, quote, they are still people of the earth, but they're different. They put bones in their noses. They still walk around naked. They wipe their butts with their hands. And when I kill an antelope for them, their preference is the gut pile. That's what they fucking want to eat, the intestines. These are different people. You give them toothpaste, they fucking eat it. I hope they don't become civilized.
