Ted Nugent recently claimed that black Americans should be profiled in the same manner that different breeds of dogs are considered dangerous.
The American rock musician made the comments on entertainer Nick Cannon's podcast after the two rifted on race for several minutes until Nugent compared recent cases of strife in race relations to "storm clouds" and dogs, the Huffington Post reported.
Nugent, who insisted he is "anti-racist" because of his musical tributes to black musicians like Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, recently joked that he wouldn't mind shooting residents of Los Angeles' South Central neighbourhood with a machine gun from a helicopter.
