And if he doesn’t they will boycott a museum exhibit about Kid Rock that Kid Rock funded, or something.

(DFP) – About a dozen members of a Detroit activist group called for Kid Rock to distance himself from the Confederate flag at a protest this morning in front of a Midtown museum where an exhibit bears the country-hip-hop-rock superstar’s name.

The controversial flag, flown by the South during the Civil War and associated with racism and slavery, has previously appeared in photos with the musician from Michigan. Robert James Ritchie, 44, has always been a fan of southern rock and has performed in front of the flag — as well as the American flag.

The Rev. Charles Williams II, president of the Michigan Chapter of the National Action Network and pastor at King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit, issued a statement Monday calling for Ritchie to keep the flag out of his performances.

Williams at the demonstration called Kid Rock “the home-town hero who is a zero with the Confederate flag” and asked museum officials to take his name off the exhibit Kid Rock funded if he doesn’t denounce the flag.

He and others met this morning outside the Detroit Historical Museum on 501 Woodward Ave.

“How in the hell can Kid Rock represent Detroit and wave that flag just generating millions and millions in ticket sales — a flag that represents genocide to most of Detroit?” asked Sam Riddle, political director of the National Action Network.
