The Michigan native has strong political beliefs, and he isn\u2019t shy about sharing them, like it or not. That was ever so apparent when Rock, who was born Robert James Ritchie, went on a rant over \u201cpolitical correctness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know and just talk about things without going for each other\u2019s throats and protesting everything and God forbid you say something a little bit wrong, you\u2019re racist, homophobic, Islamophobic. This, that and the other,\u201d Rock said to Fox &#038; Friends co-host Steve Doocy. \u201cPeople need to calm down, get a little less politically correct. And I would say you know, love everybody,\u201d he added. \u201cExcept I\u2019d say screw that Joy Behar b*tch.

Host Steve Doocy immediately apologized to the viewers. However, Rock didn\u2019t back down. The controversial rocker did dial back his description of Joy Behar just a little, while still letting the world know exactly how he felt about her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean lady. I mean lady,\u201d Rock added laughing. \u201cMaybe we\u2019ll go on and I\u2019ll hash it out with her and we\u2019ll talk about it.

Rock also toured extensively with Lynyrd Skynyrd, another \u2013 albeit Southern \u2013 act that made frequent use of the Confederate flag,\u201d Rolling Stone reported. \u201cAs Fox News points out, Kid Rock aligns himself with the Southern pride connotations of the flag and not its racial implications, since Rock\u2019s son Robert Ritchie Jr., is biracial, and as of December 2014, the First Kiss singer also has biracial grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/newzdiscover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Group-wants-Kid-Rock-to-stop-using-the-Confederate-Flag-YouTube-640x331-1-300x155.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"155\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newzdiscover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Group-wants-Kid-Rock-to-stop-using-the-Confederate-Flag-YouTube-640x331-1-300x155.webp 300w, https:\/\/newzdiscover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Group-wants-Kid-Rock-to-stop-using-the-Confederate-Flag-YouTube-640x331-1.webp 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nDetriot Historical Society\u2019s statement on Kid Rock (Credit: WXYZ\/Screenshot)<\/p>\n<p>Despite the controversy, the Detroit Historical Museum stood by the rocker, saying his contributions to the Motor City outweigh his appropriation of the Confederate flag, which is not featured at all in the exhibit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Kid Rock Music Lab is one of 10 permanent exhibitions at the Detroit Historical Museum,\u201d the museum said in a statement. \u201cKid Rock\u2019s contribution to Detroit\u2019s music history is significant and warrants his inclusion along with other key figures like Stevie Wonder, Bob Seger, Aretha Franklin, and Eminem.
