If someone tells them its racist, they need no objective reason to think its racist.


They've picked a side and like brand loyalty when shopping, once people pick a side they usually support and justify the side they've picked.

They believe their ideology/opinion is the truth and what's right and those that differ are rooted in lies and misinformation.

People used to be afraid of propaganda but now they need it to live as much Oxygen. Look at this board daily...it's filled with outlandish topics, stories and takes so people can jump in and chose a side.

Right. Everything is now politicized, even sports.

If you want to convince me that a music video is not about lynching, don't shoot it front of a courthouse notorious for lynchings.

I understand if you don't like country music that it's not your cup of tea. However, for someone to call the song racist because it depicts the reality of our society is ridiculous.

The one thing this country needs is a dose of reality and maybe we can begin moving in the right direction.

These are the same morons that think a movie about stopping child trafficking is controversial.


We went to see it the other night. It’s a tough movie to watch, but a damn good movie none the less. I was curious about all the backlash against it. I figured it had to attack Democrats or something. But there was none of that. There was zero political messaging in the movie. All the movie did was tell the story of Tim Ballard fighting child sex trafficking. No mention of either Democrats or Republicans. How anyone who isn’t a pedophile can be against this movie baffles me.

People are offended because he only used videos of people rioting over BLM shite. He should have mixed in some other examples along with it to not make it appear to be just about BLM riots.

Was it notorious when it was used in the filming of Hannah Montana: The Movie with Miley Cyrus, a 2022 holiday film, A Nashville Country Christmas with Tanya Tucker, and another 2022 holiday film, Steppin’ into the Holiday with Mario Lopez and Jana Kramer?

Good is evil and evil is good now. It’s the same spirit behind the cancelling of Sound of Freedom, and the ridiculing of cancelling Bud Light over a trans who they think should be celebrated, or cancelling Disney for the same fight against reprehensible moral conduct supporting the indoctrination of children on sexuality they should not be exposed to.

Whether people know it or not, this is very much a war for our souls and it’s a spiritual one.

To whom?

Small towns across the South are filled with black people.

Terrific analysis of my post. I particularly like the juxtaposition of facts and myth coupled with the insight of the logic you bring to the discussion.

See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Gosh, that doesn't sound like vigilantism at all.

Ok, opinion. But his video and words reflect happenings in America. Here, you can’t drive in the city without fear of being carjacked. For a long while, anyway. His video is powerful, and some may find it and his words offensive bc it hits home. I’m don’t find it racial bc it doesn’t include only one. I see what reminds me of Antifa in some parts when I saw the video. I’m not sure why the uproar. If it were a song about a bunch of pedos or promoting gender change, it would be praised and celebrated.

It seems if you hate something these days, it absolutely has to be racist.

There is nothing to analyze. You jumped to a conclusion based on your heavy bias.
