I’m not sure about the racism in that song, but I note that you left this letter to the admins out:

quote:

"It's time for you to put the foot down and make it perfectly clear that the heritage of Texas will not be lost," wrote another donor who graduated in 1986. Their name was also redacted by UT-Austin. "It is sad that it is offending the blacks. As I said before the blacks are free and it's time for them to move on to another state where everything is in their favor."


Seems like SOME people associate the heritage of Texas with being racist lol

So the idea that government should not kill citizens without due process of the law, the most important right in the constitution, is a cancer. You constitutional conservatives have really gone off the deep end. Way to uphold the values of our constitution.



WTF are you talking about?

The person most interested in Kaep never playing again is Kaep, because if he did, everyone would see the real reason he isn't playing.

Considering how conservatives cancelled the Dixie Chicks, I wouldn’t put a particular starting point anywhere on cancel culture.

But this song is not blatantly racist or offensive. Without looking into the history, nobody would ever have a reason to be offended.

Just another case of white liberals on Twitter telling black people when they should be offended.

That's offensive to people who actually ride the short bus.

So the answer is no. Conservatives only want the cancel culture they don't like to go away. While preserving the cancel culture they wish to keep. There is a word for that kind of behavior.




I’m so sorry that the song will be played. I know how hurt you are.

nobody cancelled the Dixie Chicks, Natalie Maines spouted off on GWB and the Iraq War politics and pissed off their fans. It was Corporate Owned Country Radio Stations that blacklisted them

In both periods, those statues and monuments were symbols of glorifying white supremacy. The initiatives removing such things as I mentioned were about making that very change in what this country should be about.
