The legendary US singer and songwriter has ruffled feathers in Croatia by comparing Croats to American Whites and German Nazis in the course of a discourse on American politics.
Commenting on still tense relations between African Americans and Whites, Dylan said: "If you’ve got a slave master or the [Klu Klux] Klan in your blood, blacks can sense that ... Just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood".Dylan made the remarks in an interview with the music magazine Rolling Stone.
Speaking on the occasion of the release of his 35th album "Tempest", ahead of the November presidential elections, Dylan went on to describe America as a country formed on the backs of slaves.
"If slavery had been given up in a more peaceful way, America would be far ahead today,” he concluded.
