I posted this message on TY's blog at www.rockstarinxs.com. There are tons of comments regarding the show tongiht.

Hey Ty! I think you’re amazing, I loved hearing you sing and I am a fan. I don’t know what you meant tonight with your comments, if it’s about race then I’m disappointed. I know black men in rock may be few and far in between but it could be equivalent to white guys in rap. Actually, a white guy in rap has a harder time making it (or being taken seriously) than a black guy in rock (maybe not by much but I do think it’s harder for a white). Was there not quality white people voted out before you? Maybe you should blame the black community for not voting for you, how may blacks do you think were watching this rock show? I don’t understand (if it is a race thing) why when black people don’t get their way it’s always race. I hate to bring up the show, but American Idol is the same. A black person could win the year before but if they don’t win the next year, you hear race was an issue. Like I said, I don’t know if you meant race was the issue but it seems to be what people picked up. I wish you the best and this white person is still a fan…you’re too cool not be a fan.
