Songwriter Randy Newman is calling out what he sees as racism in the presidential campaign.
The Associated Press today reports Newman, an Obama supporter, released a protest song today, to confront racism in American politics.
"It's delicate enough that I'm not going to offend people every which way, but I wanted to get it right as best I could," Newman told the AP, which said he's worried there may be some backlash against the song.
