Par for the course right here.
We showed you this Jason Aldean video yesterday. It’s called “Try That In A Small Town,” and it’s one of the great politically motivated songs of our current time. Here are the opening lyrics, which more than likely are the ones the left is suggesting are racist and the reason they’ll go ahead and cancel this song:
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it’s cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you’re tough
Well, try that in a small town
Pretty straight forward, and the only way you think this is racist, or pro-lynching is if you think black or brown people do these things more often than the other races. And that, ladies and gentlemen, would make you the racist.
…
Yeah, the song has been canceled by Country Music Television.
Here’s CNN with some phenomenal coverage:
Multiple outlets have reported that the music video for the single – whose politically charged lyrics have resulted in a backlash – has been pulled from CMT…
The lyrics, critics say, are evocative of vigilantism, racism and “sundown towns” that practice a form of all white segregation in which people of color and others who were considered outsiders knew they faced violence if they were not out of an area before the sun went down.
One commenter called it a “modern lynching song.”
A modern lynching song? Sundown towns?
So calling out violent extremists — white, black, brown, yellow, even rainbow people — who destroy cities with their little temper tantrums, is now racist? And on top of that, you’ll get canceled for doing so (other platforms, I’m guessing, aren’t far behind CMT here)?
Amazing times we live in folks.
