Just as much as that white girl hair is culturally appropriate.

THEY ARE MENTIONING IT, NOT COUNTRY MUSIC PEOPLE

Also, I liked him much better as hootie but that is nostalgia talking.
I'm the opposite, I love his country stuff but could leave his Hootie stuff behind. That said, he still plays all the Hootie hits at his country shows.

That's cool. There's no such thing as country music anymore.

isn't this what you guys want also?
You realize these are all her quotes right? No one on the board introduced racism into the topic or made it about race. So in actuality, this board is proof that music not being about race is not just what we want, but what we already practice. It is quotes directly from Beyoncé making racism a part of it.

Damn, an extremely rich and influential artist married to an even richer artist still manages to act like she’s been wronged in life

Beyoncé sucks at country music!
Billboard Top 100 disagrees.
She’s not a country artist though. That’s what this is about. It didn’t even sound country. It was basically a Beyoncé cameo over a country track. Nothing about her presence on that track resembled country, at all. If Dolly Parton sang the chorus on a Dr. Dre track no one is ever going to say she’s a great hip hop artist.
It went to #1. She says she’s not welcome because she’s black. They purposely orchestrated this thing so they could invent another “racist inequity” to bitch about because they’re running out of shite. The race card is so far past its expiration date that I really can’t believe we’re still even acknowledging it.
Just STFU Beyoncé. There are countless thousands and thousands of white country singers in Nashville waiting tables who spent their entire lives singing country, and would kill for country music to make them feel welcome enough to just crack the top 100. Whereas she just woke up one day, decided to do a country song, sing it exactly like she sings everything else, and get a #1, and doesn’t “feel welcome.”
frick her.

What is funny as hell to me is that somehow during the release of this abomination of a "country" song a whole bunch of people found out who Rhiannon Giddens is. She's the real deal who paid her dues in the genre. She has more natural musical talent than Beyonce could ever dream of having.

I’d say it’s more fatigue after decades of bending the rules for black America only to have them continue to commit disproportionately large amounts of crime, a 70% single motherhood rate, continue to require diversity quotas so they can sniff the same colleges white and Asian people do (and actually have to pay for), and call white America racist despite the fact that, like I said, the rules have been artificially bent in their favor for decades.
I’m just curious how long they expect that to be the case. Forever? Nah… it’s just not sustainable.
You could give every black person in America 5 million dollars and they’d still call themselves oppressed. It’s just what they do at this point.

Except that there has been African American influence in the creation of country music. Think about who invented the banjo for example.

That bitch has more privilege in her pinkie finger than the rest of us do in our whole being..
Shes one of the most privileged people in the world, yet somehow managed to be the victim.
She projected things, and blamed others so she could profit from the public fallout.

Bouncy crying about racism and exclusion in country music while she has the number one country hit on the charts is a whole lot of bullshite. She's pushing a non-existent narrative. It's unbecoming for a billionaire to bitch about this when no such thing is in evidence here. She ain't a victim of racism in any way, shape, or form.

This is dumb logic.
1) Black Americans had a big hand in the banjo. That does not mean they are the sole sources of the banjo. The fretboard and tuning pegs are straight European. The drum body is African. But, when black people have a hand in something they automatically take credit for all of it and white people “stole it.” When white people had a hand in something they “didn’t invent it” and again, stole it from someone else. Every single thing invented by white people, you can google some self hating white idiot making an argument as to how they stole it from someone else because once upon a time maybe possibly some other skin color influenced one tiny thing.
2) Country music is so much more than the banjo. Country is much more acoustic guitar, which is Spanish. You barely hear it anymore except for a little added flavor. The guitar predates the banjo. And that’s straight from Spain. Do we call all music written with a guitar Spanish?
Whites invented the Moog, a Japanese guy invented the 808, but no one is ever going to say hip hop was invented by a white and Japanese guy. Nope, all credit goes to black America, 100% of the time. You can make this argument anywhere, people only do it when it makes white America look like thieves. Enough already.
