"I'm so sick of folks asking me why I have a show full of white folks," Perry said during an August interview with Atlanta's WALR-FM.
“A reporter asked me this. I’m thinking, 'What the hell?' Stop asking me that damn question. People are people!”
More recently, Perry told The Associated Press that "reverse racism" was the cause of the controversy.
“That’s totally reverse racism, because it was coming from African-American people,” he said. “I don’t know if it was because they thought I should only be giving jobs to black people. Well, I think that’s ridiculous. If you look at the hundreds of black people I’ve given jobs to and even the ones I’ve made millionaires, people of color, I just think it’s unfair.”
