This makes me chuckle a little bit- do y’all remember that rap song Dazzey Dukes?

I’m sure some of you Baws may not have been born (which totally makes me traumatized bc it seems like yesterday I was listening to it on a spring break adventure)

Anyway - do those guys get cancelled too?

But songs that use the "N" word and sing about gangbanging get nominated for sing of the year...

Grammy's = Politics.

F the Grammys

Blue on Black is an absolute all time banger in my book. Will never not listen with gusto.

Oh well.

Anyone who seeks approbation or validation from these types by prostrating themselves to meet their insane demands deserves whatever idiotic opprobrium is inflicted upon them.

I might have more sympathy if the statement ended with the comments in bold:

We have been told this decision has been made because In recent days, concerns have been raised regarding one of the cars in my muscle car collection. The car was built 17 years ago as a replica and homage to the iconic car in the television series, The Dukes of Hazzard. That CBS show was one of the highest rated and most popular programs of its era and like millions of others, I watched it every week. In the show, one of the central ‘characters’ was a muscle car which displayed a confederate flag on its roof. Years ago I put that car in permanent storage yet in no way does that car indicate that I believe that black people are 2nd class citizens and it indeed demeans the real struggles black Americans have faced and overcome to suggest otherwise.

Never meet them on their own battlefield. Ever. If you give any weight to their premise, they win.

I’m not sure if we are in disagreement here but just to make clear, my bold appendage above is a wholesale rebuke of the “woke” mindset.

Not at all. I think we are on the same page.

I was just throwing out my version. Sorry for the confusion.

What's next cancelling all Waylon Jennings tunes because he would narrate?

You’re joking, but remember a couple of years the the deceased lady that sang the rendition of “God Bless America,” the one the Yankees and Philadelphia Flyers played at their games, was canceled because she sang a satirical song almost 100 years ago.

These idiots need to stop butt-scooching and cancel every song and artist that used gender specific pronouns.

So insensitive.

Using this logic, CBS should be cancelled and all of it's shows, actors, directors, producers, etc should be wiped from history.
And everyone give their money back.

I think that most of you guys are missing the whole point.

Because of a person politics does that mean their music should removed from Award winning nominations?

What is the criteria for an award in Music now days? Make sure that the paint job on your car is acceptable?

I made the comment earlier... The "N" word is soo bad that I wont use it.. I am teaching my kids not to use it.. But it's in all the new music being released and the grammy's nominated things like that for song of the year.

Does that mean that me and my kids can only recite parts of the song and not other parts.. While certain select individuals can have the privilege of doing so?

If we can't recite the whole song, can we then get the song for a discounted price?

We have gone way way past confederate statues at this point.
