The founder of a Black country artist collective says it's 'a slap in the face' that Morgan Wallen was allowed to perform at the Grand Ole Opry
The historic Grand Ole Opry country-music venue was criticized for allowing Morgan Wallen onstage.
Wallen drew backlash last year for using a racial slur but has since enjoyed commercial success.
The founder of a platform for Black country artists called Wallen's attendance "a slap in the face."
The Grand Ole Opry, the country venue in Nashville, was criticized after allowing Morgan Wallen, a singer who was caught on tape last year using a racial slur, to perform on Saturday night.
Wallen's appearance sparked criticism on social media — from people including the singer-songwriter Jason Isbell — directed toward the Grand Ole Opry, which describes itself as "the show that made country music famous."
Holly G, the founder of Black Opry, a platform for Black country musicians and artists, said in a letter to the show's talent organizers that Wallen's attendance was confusing and "a slap in the face" to people of color.

Isbell is just insufferable ever since he got married.

Morgan Wallen is a slap in the face to music in general.

In this new religion of Wokeness, there is no forgiveness.

If the GOO and Wallen stand their ground on this they will have more support than ever from both sides.
If they fold they will lose their base and the wine crowd will still hate them.

The fact that a organization that caters to one race calling out a open organization for allowing the performance of a particular artist for being racist ?
Posted on 1/10/22 at 10:41 am to jralspanky
I didn't. Can you provide context?
