From the New York Post:

During an appearance on Maher’s “Club Random Podcast,” Mellencamp revealed he wrote a song called “From the Cotton Field to the Playing Fields” that he never recorded because he believed it was “wrong.”

The song’s message was an attempt to show how white people love to have black entertainers and often exploit them.

“I would say that the playing fields are a lot better than the cotton fields,” Maher said 29 minutes into the interview.

“That’s what I would say about that. Maybe I’m crazy, John, but it seems like making no money as a slave picking cotton — it was not as good as playing left field for the Yankees.”

As Maher attempted to continue his argument, Mellencamp interjected and said there is “no doubt” that “1 or 2% of black people” in America “have a better life.”

“Oh, stop, that’s what you think?” Maher responded.

“1 or 2%?”

“OK, let’s say 10%. I just pulled a number out of my a–,” Mellencamp said.

Maher then told Mellencamp that is where his opinion “belongs.”

Mellencamp again said he had pulled the number out of thin air when Maher said his claim was “just not true.”

Democrats/Marxists/Leftists like John Mellencamp lose all credibility when they pull numbers out of thin air. But they keep doing it, stating made-up statistics as facts.

It's pretty funny.
