Darius Rucker fired back at a racist comment directed at him via Twitter earlier this week. The country singer had sent a message about the inspiration to record his current single "Wagon Wheel" when one narrow-minded user decided to weigh in.
A user post under the handle @pqkullman told Rucker that he should "leave country to the white folk."
Rucker was quick to respond, reminding the user that country knows no color boundaries:
"WOW. Is this 2013 or 1913[?] Ill take my grand ole Opry membership and leave your racism. Wow."
"Gotta go to bed this has been hilarious tonight. If any hater thinks I care what u think. I don't make music for u. So don't listen," he later added.
The offender's account has since been deleted.
