Country fans — well, all Americans, really — had something to be upset about this week when Brad Paisley and LL Cool J released their song “Accidental Racist.” While the duo claims that their intentions were to get people to resolve the racism issues in this country, they overlooked the fact that their song’s lyrics are actually racist. On a more somber note, The Iron Lady passed away. No, not Meryl Streep, but the actual “Iron Lady,” Margaret Thatcher — former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Check out the 10 funniest pop culture tweets of the week.
