John Schneider then used an analogy with Beyoncé trying to break into country music. “They have to leave their mark, like a dog in a dog park,” he explained. “You know, every dog has to mark every tree, right? So that’s what’s happening here.”

It reached number 4 on the music charts. He went on to release approximately 17 songs on the Country Songs chart and had four number one hits between 1981 and 1987.
John Schneider called racist after his dog analogy towards Beyoncé
Not long after John Schneider made the analogy, X users were quick to attack him for being racist toward Beyoncé.
“This isn’t a racist dog whistle, it’s a fucking foghorn!” declared one user “.
“Imagine controlling a musical genre created by black people,” wrote one X user. “Imagine getting angry because a southern artist from Texas decided to go back to her roots. By the way, this isn’t her first country song!! Anyway… Get Beyoncé’s new single #TEXASHOLDEM.”
Other X users pointed out that it is not John Schneider’s place to remove musicians from the country genre. “You can’t control genres, especially ones you didn’t even create,” said a fellow critic.
Another X user pointed out that crossovers between musical genres are not new. “Paul McCartney released a country song 50 years ago (Country Dreamer and Sally G)…even the Stones had a huge country influence (Dead Flowers Far Away Eyes), so don’t get this about Beyoncé unless it’s because she’s…”
