Because it doesn’t effect us in any way unless we are actively being an idiot anyway? It doesn’t much effect my life as someone that has no desire to say it, and doesn’t really care if a black person says it.

Society reacts differently to similar behavior from different types races, genders, religions, etc.... in all kinds of places.

Do you scream into the void at ladies nights happening at bars? Hate seniors discounts? Some black people get to say a word that you don’t.... big frickin deal.

I don't justify any type of discrimination.

I find it pretty sad that you do.

I'm a Christian, with a few variations in my personal beliefs. I as a person, am not responsible for how the world thinks. I can't even control my immediate family, I can only positively influence..maybe. Now, I have standards that I go by, those are personal standards, that doesn't mean that everyone has to have the same standards as I do, this is what freedom is all about. I can't tell anybody what to think, nobody can tell me what to think. If you want it any other way, then you are the fascist. That's a fact.

I’m not arguing it’s some shining example of great behavior by anyone.

I’m not saying lock him up, but if he learns a lesson the hard way- I’m sure plenty of us made some dumb mistakes that we wouldn’t mind having back. I’d guess some of us learned from them, some of us didn’t. For his sake, hopefully he reigns it in a bit as the drunken behavior has bit him a couple times recently

Why the frick do you care what Morgan Wallen does when he's drunk after coming home from the bar?

Apparently lots of people don't care since his album sales are up since the incident

Ludicrous. Dude said a WORD that someone has decided 13% of the country can say without penalty while others lose their livelihoods over. A WORD.

Alyssa Milano can brag about killing two kids and keep a career going. People take the Lord’s name in vain all day long without penalty.

Sticks and stones.

So you are totally OK with a guy losing his livelihood and his career that he has worked his entire life to have just because he got drunk in his own driveway and said a word (not directed at anyone) and someone overheard it and decided to make it public?


If so


frick you

I’m not saying he should be black listed from any employment for life. Nor do I think this will ruin his career.

I haven't looked at the nine pages of comments but has anyone mentioned anything about Elvis Costello just standing off by himself in a corner whistling nervously after seeing the reaction to this? Because his drunken rambling about Ray Charles was a hundred times worse than what Wallen said and no one on the left has ever said diddly squat poo about it.

Oliver’s Army “one more widow one less white er” 5.4M views and still up on YT but they had to bury DAC.

I said it several times just yesterday driving from Mobile to Jackson singing along to The Chronic. Great album. Made Dre and Snoop millions and millions of dollars. Surely the ones who paid those millions are entitled to you know, sing the lyrics. I know I do. But then again I like to pride myself on not being a pearl clutching little bitch.

I also have a best friend who’s black. Roomed with him in college and stood in his wedding. I can promise you he is not even remotely offended by this drunk country singer dude. If you notice it is mainly limp dick white people who are offended. However if you change the tone, the setting and the “a” to an “er” your arse will get smacked. Luckily he has this thing called perspective
