MATHEW KNOWLES ON BEYONCÉ CMA SNUB IS 'WHITE AND BLACK THING' ... There's a Dark History Here

Beyoncé getting no love from the Country Music Association does not come as a huge shock to her father Mathew Knowles ... and he thinks race is a factor here.

Bey's dad tells TMZ … he's not surprised his daughter received zero CMA nominations for her "Cowboy Carter" country album, given her history with the awards show.

Mathew says Beyoncé didn't have a good experience performing with the Dixie Chicks at the 2016 CMA Awards -- her inclusion didn't go over so well -- and he says the CMAs never apologized to Bey.

Beyoncé has one of the biggest country albums of the year, but Mathew says the voters are "showing it still comes down to white and black."
