"Try That in a Small Town"

[Chobham]

Is the latest to draw the ire of the 'wokester's'. Apparently the song is blatantly racist. I listened to the song and didn't hear anything you'd call racist, so I then watched the video, nothing there either. As a last resort I looked up the lyrics just in case those redneck racists were trying to pull a fast one, nothing there either.

So I sat and pondered what all the fuss could be about and the more I thought about the more inescapable the conclussion that presented itself. The 'Woke" believe that all blacks are criminals. It's the only explanation of how a basically anti-crime song could be considered racist and still make sense.

Of course there is one other possible explanation, the record company started the call in campaign to get the media and public to focus on the song because nether the music nor the lyrics are particularly notable in and of themselves. If that's the case, it worked. #1 on the charts.

I read about this so I watched the video. Not a fan of Top 40 country (I do like traditional country and Americana) and thought the video was corny but not anything to be upset about. CMT’s decision to take it down generated some media buzz and might have given the song a nice bump on the charts.

Jason Aldean is a successful white guy.


What's not to hate?



Disclosure: I have several of his CDs.

I'm boycotting CMT now (not that I ever really watch it. Is MTV still a thing even?).

Bunch of freaking cowards. How the hell can they look anyone in the eye and refer to themselves as "country."

They're officially now nothing more than a freaking Dixie Chick Cabal...

Cunty?


Maybe it's CuntyM000zik . . . .

I think you're on to that.

I'm guessing they're vying to replace Muzak in our elevators and lobbies...

Wat has hated "pop" music for half a century.

I was Heavy Metal before I was Country, and not that old-timey twangy stuff...

The stuff now that more resembles Rock'n Roll than what is currently passing as R'nR.

Never been much of a heavy metal fan. More of a classic rock and roll, blues and traditional country fan. Within the latter genre, I really like the new generation of bluegrass artists that are catching fire these days. Guitar shredders like Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle with their bands featuring killer mandolin, fiddle, banjo and bass players that are performing their own stuff while paying homage to the greats like Doc Watson, Old & In the Way, etc that came before them.

 

[VinnyVeritas]

I really don't listen to much music any more.

It just seems supercilious.

Maybe country if
I'm driving.

As with most "outrage from the left", I've yet to find a single leftie saying a word about it.

I don't listen to country, so wouldn't care if it was a good or bad song.

Wonder what they were thinking in choosing the setting. Probably just an inadvertent coincidence.

“Viewers also noted that scenes in the video were shot at the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where a Black man named Henry Choate, 18, was lynched in 1927. The site is also where the infamous Columbia Race Riot occurred in 1946.”

Got a point?

 

[jomar]

Got a point?

Like I said, them choosing video background where a racist lynching took place and a race riot took place probably has nothing to do with the overall vigilante message of the song. People are so sensitive!

The video also includes images from BLM protests.

As with many things, the symbols are there to be seen (or to be ignored if you want to pretend you don't recognize them). Like statues of 'heroes of the Confederacy', it's either your heritage or just a beautiful monument that happens to belong there.

The OP is a moron.

Let that sink in.

Imma Rock & Roller so I was never going to hear it anyway. Rock On

 

[phrodeau]

I feel nothing but sympathy for Aldean. It must be hard to accept that one’s music triggers people.

 

[ll74]

Ilm say this, the daftness of the right is evident in my Twitter feed. Comparing the song to WAP? Right

Okay, then:

SubzeroGirl poster posts and giggles with overt racists (busybody, akatrex), and with full knowledge of the fact:

Friendly PSA.

This is the way,

[Rightguide]

The song contains a lot of truth. There are a lot of small towns in my state that take a dim view of the criminal element and where locals will play hand ball with outsiders who forget their manners.

Latest Deplorable false narrative; it's all over social media. They get more desperate by the month. Good luck getting this one to stick outside of your white-supremacist circle-jerk club.
