TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A Kansas legislator is promising to get his "RedNeck Rap" video criticizing President Barack Obama back on YouTube.
The video drew criticism because it shows state Rep. Bill Otto, a Republican, wearing a hat describing opossum as "the other dark meat." A fellow legislator calls the video "disturbing" and evidence of bigotry, which Otto disputes.
Otto said Friday he'll include a new beginning to the video, to explain that the hat is a reference to his own "Ozark-American" heritage, not Obama.
He posted the video last month, but it was taken down Thursday evening. Otto said his two adult daughters removed it because they didn't like him being labeled a racist.
