Small towns are all over the planet with any folks anyone can dream of. The rules are the same everywhere. We look out for each other. Big city stuff doesn't fly in any small town.
This music video was removed from CMT (country music television) That is only the first or second time that has ever happened in CMT history. He and the music video were labeled racist and encouraging violence. When it was actually discouraging violence and destruction of property and the flag. He even says "I recommend you Don't, try that in a small town." It's a warning that is simply the truth of how small towns work. Like a public service announcement. If you don't know about how small towns work let me just tell you. They were also upset that he used real news footage of events that were aired on the news. It was/is ok for the news to constantly show it 24/7 even for little kids to see?? But he puts in a video that condems the mainstream narrative then he's considered a problem and they attempt to cancel him. Fox news actually made him take one of their clips out of the video.
These days when mobs loot and burn the media assures us it's "mostly peaceful" and it's "racist" to call it what it is. But I still do. At 78, I'm like the honey badger--call me what you want and I don't give s____.
Naa I think its more the location on where he filmed the video..that court house has a dark past in history..its where Henry Choate a black teen, 18,1927 was falsely accused of attacking a white girl.. He was jailed, but a mob of hundreds of white people kidnapped him from his cell. He was tied to the back of a car and dragged across town, and eventually hanged in front of the Maury County Courthouse..Just the history of the court house and then in this video clips of mobs he has in the video.. just docent sit well..
I know about small towns. I was born and raised in one. It was very racist, at least when I grew up there. I hated all the racism. Now it's drug infested. I don't go back enough to know if the rampant racism still exists or not. From what I see on FB, it seems to but is more "discreet" now. I live in a medium sized town now, more urban. Racist attitudes are much less common here and I love it. This video made it crystal clear what Aldean was implying. Larger, more urban towns have a larger population of various minorities. Many more than you'd find in "a small town". Doesn't take a genius to see the correlation. On top of that, the site the video was filmed at has an horrific history as it pertains to slavery and lynchings. Not subtle at all, right? 🙄
Sad how people hang onto racism... Im white and 100 miles from this building and didnt know about the lynching that took place. Im pretty sure if there were racist messages tryin to get sent it would be easier to get the message... Most people dont want anything to do with the bad things that happened then.... Im 34 and didnt get brought up to treat people different bc of their skin. I think the message is clear. Dont mess with tight communities that exercise the 2nd and look out for their neighbors.
Hes absolutely right. Pop country in America all sounds the same these days. The guy who sang this song aint even from a small town. Most of the pop country is just lowest common denominator pandering, just like all pop music. Its America the whole pop music industry is just a grift. This song came out and got everyone whipped up into a frenzy for a couple of weeks, but thats the point innit. Get mad over a song and we aint talkin about how were all gettin screwed
As someone raised in Georgia, it’s no lie. Outside of Atlanta..if you try that mess in a small town… we’re not afraid to fight back. In fact, if a small town over yonder needs help, we’re loading up and driving to help them. Most small towns, people are loaded to the teeth. You’re taking your life into your own hands if you decide to trespass or do anything criminal against us. We’re also extremely nice, but won’t take sh*t. Oh, and all races in small towns come together. My mom is Native American, and she would not tolerate any of that bs. So, if you want safety and security, small towns are where it’s at. This is why so many people are leaving cities like New York and Los Angeles and they are flooding Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. As they say, actions, speak louder than words, and that says a lot to me. They’re leaving these big cities because they are filled with crime, and the governors are so FAR left , they don’t care for their people at all. We will fight for ourselves here. With or without our governments help.
It's always big cities that have the most idiots, thugs, criminals, violence, destruction, immorality, homelessness, the list goes on and on and on. Why anyone would want to move from a small town to a big city is beyond me. Seems like a very illogical move unless viewed from a purely from a financial standpoint of seeking a higher paying job or something.
@mumuspain2086 hilarious. Small towns have the highest levels of teenage pregnancy, are the most racist, judgemental and intolerant of all. They try to appear holier than thou while judging everyone else and getting all up in their business. Nobody wants to live in your glorified Walmart parking lot of a crap hole mate. 😂
This song is controversial because it was filmed was at the town square in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where the Columbia Race Riot began in 1946 after a struggle between a Black World War II veteran and a white shopkeeper. It has racist undertones and encourages violence.

As a Hispanic living in USA, this is a great song. Even here in LA when the riots of 2020 happened. In the neighborhoods and business you would see the Rioters stopping on their tracks and doing a U turn because the neighbors, White, Black, Hispanic, Armenian, Asian coming out of their businesses with their ARs and shotguns standing sholder to sholder ready to defend and protect the people and their livelihood. It was a beautifu thing to watch ...
There is a split in America between the blue (democrat) states and the red (republican) states. The blue states are not prosecuting criminals so there is a lot of crime. It’s also city vs rural areas and there were some clips in the video from the race riots in recent years.
@@hiddentruebeauty But but, Biden's America bro! It's so stupid how broken our country is at this point, news and social media are just obliterating our society at this point.

I mean sure, there are cities (both red and blue) that do stupid things, but saying blue states don't prosecute crime is ridiculous lol
@@hiddentruebeauty Crime is not prosecuted the same everywhere when Soros backed DAs refuse to press charges or let convicted felons out of jail early leading to chaos on the streets.

Small town USA makes up 90% of this Country! Thank God I was raised in a small conservative town in the South and I’ll NEVER leave! We have little to no crime bc everyone has at least one Gun, but most have multiple and we have less restrictive laws on guns and have what’s called the Castle Doctrine in North Carolina. That means us Carolinians have an extra layer of protection if we shoot an intruder! Also we all know each other and all the cops. We don’t even have many cops here bc we know how to protect ourselves and have the right to protect ourselves with our firearms , therefore nobody comes into our small fully Armed town with tough country boys who don’t take any sh*t. God Bless America & the South!!! ❤️🇺🇸🤟🏻
Glad none of us were alive back then. I totally get the meaning of this song, as I live in a small town in TX. We watched video after video of paid protesting on the News where you could see the day before J6, dump trucks from the city were dropping off bricks in little piles all down the streets of the capital bldg. like they were deliberately leaving thfm to be used by any lame stupid enough to use them. There were Trump supporters that were there, protesting the fraudulent election, next thing you know Antifa shows up from a side street, where they were caught on camera, changing from their black military clothing & boots, & putting on Maga Hats & T-Shirts thst said Trump on them.

Today I look around at the shape our country is in with open borders, & govt fueling race wars. We are smart enough to see it for what it is. An attempt to divide our Country by Race. In my small town, we aint having it. Your actions tell us who you are. Be the person you want others to be. Kind, caring, & an ounce of humility will take you places🙏🏼
I don't mean to step into someone else's relationship but I don't think it's a coincidence Gaynor likes country and married Daz. The values and temperament are very similar. ❤
How in the world were you caught off guard on this Daz? This song is #1 in the charts, surrounded by controversy and being reacted to by reaction channels worldwide. The ultra left tried to cancel it and Aldean. True Americans in the left, middle and right camps put it to the top.
Yeah, and the week it reached number one, the number two slot was occupied by the artist who uses the N-slur. Tells you what kind of people are listening to this type of music.
No, the people who put it to the top sleep with their sister-aunts and live in a trailer while they send all their money to a supposed billionaire who can't afford to pay his legal fees on his own. In short: shut up.
People been seein crazy stuff on tv that dont reflect whats goin on day to day. The places with the strictest gun laws have some of the highest crime rates, BUT ON A LIGHTER NOTE make vids while yall are in the southern TN north AL area. Well give you great recommendations for where to go and youll get multiple invites to thanksgivin DEFINITELY get a southern thanksgivin meal while yall are here! Love the content!
I like the song a lot, but I wouldn't even call it straight-up "country". Country doesn't have guitar fills and drums like that. I would say "Country Rock" or "Southern Rock".
@@IMB322 It is racist and untrue. People have the freedom of speech, and to showcase BLM rallies, make false claims that they’re violent, and then stand in front of a building where lynchings took place is completely unacceptable.
Grew up in a small town, but it's the town that had black players on the basketball team. When we'd visit other towns, well the cops were there surrounding the bus when we won. That was 30 years ago! Thankfully things have changed. I think the reason this video caused a stir, the footage wasn't small town folks. It focused on the idiots, who gave a bad name to thier neighbors. Small town odds, one on one, city odds are a bit different.. You're blaming most for the actions of a few? Break it down, small town with 4000 or less versus people you don't even know in the city? I have no problem with the song, just can understand why others would.
In America.. as may be the same in the UK. Small Towns (your Villages) .. all know each other. We don't take kindly to people coming in and hurting our families, destroying our homes or our small businesses. It won't stand in a small town in America. You come to a small town in American .. Good Luck. We have the Right to Bear Arms and protect ourselves.
I don't think you have to live or be from a small town to understand this message. I'm from a mid size city in the midwest (2.2 million metro) and I guess we also don't understand wanton, unhinged destruction of anything nearby. We all respect the right to peaceably protest, and it used to be that it hindered your cause to resort to violence. Apparently, that has changed.
Why most people are against it he is hypocritical he tells people not try things but his first wife gave up so much made him big time then he cheated on her with a trophy wife.
Wow top song and most controversal. Im notna country person but this song is truth. I live in a city where anything goes. However, where i grew up it wouldnt happen. This was our riots
Love this song... nothing racist in it... I bought the dang tee shirt... I'm from small town America.. don't mess with our own. We will take care of our family and friends... Cities are different... Rural communites take care of each other
I live north of Indianapolis and used to work in Chicago during all the riots and craziness. When all that was going down in Chicago and ppl were burning and looting everything they had a group of rioters decided to go down I65 towards central indiana. The indiana state police actually blocked the interstate and turned them around partly for the rioters own safety. It's a different mentality outside of the big cities and rural towns will typically not put up with that crap
It's a catchy song. It's catastrophically stupid in reality, but it's a catchy song to revel in nostalgic daydreams to. I've lived in small towns and big ones too. This is an example of the mental masturbation that creates stories of small towns that don't fit the narrative like Uvalde, Jasper, Saltillo Shores, long list of small towns that are monumentally horrific. Only the most stupid assume small town are less apt to terrible aspects of humanity than anywhere else.
I like what you said at the beginning, its controversial but it's a song you can feel good with 100%. Lol mental masturbation. I'm not sure if I agree with the second part of your comment, or if I completely got it.
None of those fit the definition of a small town. One of them is actually considered a city. (Uvalde) Not to mention this about mobs breaking the law and hurting people and getting away with it, which wasn't what happened in the circumstances you are likely referring to. In addition, for Uvalde, it wasn't the ordinary folks that were the problem, it was a messed up person and the cowardly police...
@@jameshunt9208 Those are just famous examples. As I mentioned, I've lived in both small towns, like Pottsboro, Tx and big cities like Dallas. As I also mentioned, you're just as likely to find the worst and best of humanity in either place. At least black folks were allowed to drive through and live in Dallas.
As an American, but not a regular listener to country music and entirely unaware of what's on it's charts, I knew exactly what this was going to be about just from the title. It's where we are these days.
Nothing like a guy who grew up in **Atlanta** singing about small town behavior in a video where a lot of the footage was taken from protests in Toronto and Montreal. Cool "American country" song bro. I remember when it dropped from the number one spot to #20 in one week when the internet moved on to something else. It Just showed that it was never a good country song with any staying power. Just another pop star finding a "controversial" way to get attention for more millions. He's about as country authentic as Kentucky Fried Chicken.
As a proud American living in a small town, these idiot rioters wouldn’t last five minutes . They tried to come to our town and we’re quickly turned around. They didn’t try to come back. Nuff said
This man wasn't born or raised in a small town. The whole song is at best a result of frustration over the current political climate, and at worst it's political profiteering (The most likely answer).
I love this song. It was controversial when it first came out but its calmed down now. It went to number one pretty quick. I cant remember if yall have reacted to Toby Keiths Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue the Angry American or not. It was written in response to 911. Another of my favorite.
DAZ & GAYNOR - Do you realize how controversial this song is in the U.S.? It’s so incredibly racist and bigoted? How can you support that? You should’ve researched this song before promoting it.
This song is controversial because it was filmed was at the town square in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where the Columbia Race Riot began in 1946 after a struggle between a Black World War II veteran and a white shopkeeper. It has racist undertones and encourages violence.
No,people just wanted something to be upset about like usual. So someone started digging up history to see if they can make some false connection to this song. I thought it was about antifa but I guess some people think only blacks act up. Sounds like you are the racist ones.
You're treading on thin ice. With your fellow conserevatives constantly sucking up to Russia and threatening civil war like babies that need their nappies changed, I wouldn't joke about who is a "real American."
Its a subliminally racist song.. and its literally only charted high because closet racists love it and cream over it.. if he was singing about anything else none of these ppl jizzing over it wouldnt care and I didn't think yall would agree with him but since you do.. ✌🏾
Daz, when you're in the US you'll want to visit Charlottesville, VA. In 2017 a white supremacist deliberately drove his car into a crowd of people peacefully protesting the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing one person and injuring 35. *From Wikipedia:* "Fields was convicted in a state court of the first-degree murder of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, eight counts of malicious wounding, and hit and run. He also pled guilty to 29 of 30 federal hate crime charges to avoid the death penalty. He was sentenced to life in prison plus 419 years for the state charges, with an additional life sentence for the federal charges." You've expressed great joy over car attacks on left wing protesters. Perhaps you can meet up with Virginia white supremacists and klan members and let them know you appreciate their effort. If you read the article I left under the most recent 'car attack' video on your primary channel it explained that this tactic has long been used by white supremacists and the klan to terrorize peaceful leftist protesters.
WRONG path. That thinking is why this world is becoming TOO SOFT. This world NEEDS more straight forward accountability and a lot less coddling. "Can't do that, Can't say that. Heaven forbid someone gets their feelings hurt."
@kendallcarstens9194 I agree. I wish more people would be more straightforward and just say they're racist instead of hiding behind the flag or music videos.
@@quasicrystal5166 if you can tell me how im missing the point i will no joke give you $100. ok now let your mentally challenged brain go wild. prove me wrong, come on i know you can do it
You should look up the meaning behind that song It is steeped in racism at its finest. it is a banned song and ur doing a reaction to history steeped in racism hence the name don't try it a small town
Are you watching the same music video? There is not any mention of race. The majority of the news footage shown was white people committing violence. I am very familiar with the accusations about this song. I know the history of the building behind him too. Where exactly is the racism in this song/music video?
Southern country and Western country are very different American subcultures. This shit is embarrassing. Western small towns are small. Small towns in the population dense southeast, you can throw a rock and be in another town or city.
A country boy can survive by Hank Williams Jr. is probably the type of song you were expecting. It's truly a great song.
Hank Williams especially one of his fiddle songs is what was coming to my mind.
Small towns are all over the planet with any folks anyone can dream of. The rules are the same everywhere. We look out for each other. Big city stuff doesn't fly in any small town.

I don't mean to step into someone else's relationship but I don't think it's a coincidence Gaynor likes country and married Daz. The values and temperament are very similar. ❤
How in the world were you caught off guard on this Daz? This song is #1 in the charts, surrounded by controversy and being reacted to by reaction channels worldwide.
The ultra left tried to cancel it and Aldean. True Americans in the left, middle and right camps put it to the top.
Are you knew here? Daz doesn’t listen to music😂
Yeah, and the week it reached number one, the number two slot was occupied by the artist who uses the N-slur. Tells you what kind of people are listening to this type of music.
@@b-six-twelve Cope harder. I'm sure you listen to music where the "N word" is every other word. 🤡
No, the people who put it to the top sleep with their sister-aunts and live in a trailer while they send all their money to a supposed billionaire who can't afford to pay his legal fees on his own.
In short: shut up.
In my small town in E, Texas , you never know who is packing . Almost no crime.
Saw him in Scranton PA it was great
100% truth. They won't even consider trying that shit in my small town. They know better.
Yea right. You’d get fucked up just like the rest of your pink buddies
@@sixhunnasilent2560 I have a whole room full of things that say otherwise. Moron.
Who is the "they" you referring to?
@@Bea-Dubya Anyone who tries it.
@@Bea-Dubya Pretty sure "they" refers to African-americans.

I think ive seen them do that one
Toby Keith song "as good as I once was"... I appreciate it now as I get older
People been seein crazy stuff on tv that dont reflect whats goin on day to day. The places with the strictest gun laws have some of the highest crime rates, BUT ON A LIGHTER NOTE make vids while yall are in the southern TN north AL area. Well give you great recommendations for where to go and youll get multiple invites to thanksgivin DEFINITELY get a southern thanksgivin meal while yall are here! Love the content!
Its a really important song, at a crossroads in society.
Go to the Smoky mountains if you are in Smashville. Knoxville and around that area is phenomenal.
I love this song ❤
I like the song a lot, but I wouldn't even call it straight-up "country". Country doesn't have guitar fills and drums like that. I would say "Country Rock" or "Southern Rock".
This song is just beautiful and TRUE
This song is stupid and nowhere near the truth
It’s racist.
@Michael-kf7gm
Come on Michael, it's not racist when it's true
@@IMB322 It is racist and untrue. People have the freedom of speech, and to showcase BLM rallies, make false claims that they’re violent, and then stand in front of a building where lynchings took place is completely unacceptable.
Grew up in a small town, but it's the town that had black players on the basketball team. When we'd visit other towns, well the cops were there surrounding the bus when we won. That was 30 years ago! Thankfully things have changed. I think the reason this video caused a stir, the footage wasn't small town folks. It focused on the idiots, who gave a bad name to thier neighbors. Small town odds, one on one, city odds are a bit different.. You're blaming most for the actions of a few? Break it down, small town with 4000 or less versus people you don't even know in the city? I have no problem with the song, just can understand why others would.
Gay..
@@CollinKillian Congratulations on coming out Collin. Good luck to you and your future man.
We should be like the South in England. We’ve gone soft with these gangsters, thugs and criminals
Small fact, china has the biggest army at 5 million, the USA has 100 million gun owners! And none of us only have 1 gun😊
Southerners are very passionate and patriot You should also watch Buddy Brown s How trespassers die!
In America.. as may be the same in the UK. Small Towns (your Villages) .. all know each other. We don't take kindly to people coming in and hurting our families, destroying our homes or our small businesses. It won't stand in a small town in America. You come to a small town in American .. Good Luck. We have the Right to Bear Arms and protect ourselves.
The idea and a granddads gun is that it’s unregistered and typically grandadified (modded) with a damn homemade instruction manual
Good song speaking the truth.
I don't think you have to live or be from a small town to understand this message. I'm from a mid size city in the midwest (2.2 million metro) and I guess we also don't understand wanton, unhinged destruction of anything nearby. We all respect the right to peaceably protest, and it used to be that it hindered your cause to resort to violence. Apparently, that has changed.
Why most people are against it he is hypocritical he tells people not try things but his first wife gave up so much made him big time then he cheated on her with a trophy wife.
What a tune 😍👊
Hes not wrong, they tried to bring their crap into idaho and were shut down real fast by our local militias 💪
i see the problem here, he isn't listening to the lyrics, this sends a different message and he isn't picking that up lol
This. Band is .most Americans I promise
.
Are you going to do a meet and great in Nashville?
Yay music reactions
Wow top song and most controversal. Im notna country person but this song is truth. I live in a city where anything goes. However, where i grew up it wouldnt happen. This was our riots
Love this song... nothing racist in it... I bought the dang tee shirt... I'm from small town America.. don't mess with our own. We will take care of our family and friends... Cities are different... Rural communites take care of each other
I live north of Indianapolis and used to work in Chicago during all the riots and craziness. When all that was going down in Chicago and ppl were burning and looting everything they had a group of rioters decided to go down I65 towards central indiana. The indiana state police actually blocked the interstate and turned them around partly for the rioters own safety. It's a different mentality outside of the big cities and rural towns will typically not put up with that crap
Biltmore House in Asheville NC is beautiful this time of year. It’s not far away from Tennessee and the ride is amazing, I promise
Especially now with the leaves starting to turn.
Have you listened to any Colter Wall Daz or G?
song would be better if he was actually from a small town and actually wrote his own songs
Amen
Why? The song is about the regular person that won't deal with the riots, and crime orchestrated by group's with agendas.
@@davidcosta2244lol and yet he filmed the video in a spot a riot of white people killed a black person
I've lived in small towns where people commit all those crimes. I guess he hasn't been in a small town.
This song is country pop not really country
It's a catchy song. It's catastrophically stupid in reality, but it's a catchy song to revel in nostalgic daydreams to. I've lived in small towns and big ones too. This is an example of the mental masturbation that creates stories of small towns that don't fit the narrative like Uvalde, Jasper, Saltillo Shores, long list of small towns that are monumentally horrific. Only the most stupid assume small town are less apt to terrible aspects of humanity than anywhere else.
I like what you said at the beginning, its controversial but it's a song you can feel good with 100%. Lol mental masturbation.
I'm not sure if I agree with the second part of your comment, or if I completely got it.
None of those fit the definition of a small town. One of them is actually considered a city. (Uvalde) Not to mention this about mobs breaking the law and hurting people and getting away with it, which wasn't what happened in the circumstances you are likely referring to. In addition, for Uvalde, it wasn't the ordinary folks that were the problem, it was a messed up person and the cowardly police...
@@jameshunt9208 Those are just famous examples. As I mentioned, I've lived in both small towns, like Pottsboro, Tx and big cities like Dallas. As I also mentioned, you're just as likely to find the worst and best of humanity in either place. At least black folks were allowed to drive through and live in Dallas.
Really?
Everyone screaming about racism y'all are A joke
It's about law and order that helps the community.
I live in a small town and you dam right that wouldn't happen here.
That song is kinda a banger. If he had filmed it literally anywhere but a lynching site, people would not have noticed this song for some time.
A great country song to react to would be Garth Brooks Friends in Low Places.
This song panders to people who will never, ever have this happen in their small towns. It does keep them afraid though.
Afraid? 😂😂😂
You guys are afraid of everything. I live in a small town and the fear is everywhere. They're afraid to go to a big city.@@joeladams2540
You're right. This song in no way illustrates anything about small towns. I'm not surprised since the singer never lived in a small town.
@@joeladams2540 People who carry guns to go grocery shopping are scared of everything and everyone.
As an American, but not a regular listener to country music and entirely unaware of what's on it's charts, I knew exactly what this was going to be about just from the title. It's where we are these days.
You guys have got to go to a gun rang here in America
Amen! Try that sh%t in a small town!
Howdy from Knoxville Tennessee 👋
Nothing like a guy who grew up in **Atlanta** singing about small town behavior in a video where a lot of the footage was taken from protests in Toronto and Montreal. Cool "American country" song bro. I remember when it dropped from the number one spot to #20 in one week when the internet moved on to something else. It Just showed that it was never a good country song with any staying power. Just another pop star finding a "controversial" way to get attention for more millions. He's about as country authentic as Kentucky Fried Chicken.
We the people need to stand up against ignorance
Yeah, no. Read about "Sundown Towns" in the states and then think about what he's saying.
Great reaction guys! Please react to Dirt Road Anthem next.
As a proud American living in a small town, these idiot rioters wouldn’t last five minutes . They tried to come to our town and we’re quickly turned around. They didn’t try to come back. Nuff said
He got the song right.
I love you Daz an gainer
This man wasn't born or raised in a small town. The whole song is at best a result of frustration over the current political climate, and at worst it's political profiteering (The most likely answer).
Bingo
100 percent try that shit were everyone is a hunter and owns guns
Guess Mr. Aldean forgot about January 6th in his video.
I love this song. It was controversial when it first came out but its calmed down now. It went to number one pretty quick. I cant remember if yall have reacted to Toby Keiths Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue the Angry American or not. It was written in response to 911. Another of my favorite.
Woah scary tune
Raspy voice these days... love some Chris Stapleton... and I grew up on Kenny
DAZ & GAYNOR - Do you realize how controversial this song is in the U.S.? It’s so incredibly racist and bigoted? How can you support that? You should’ve researched this song before promoting it.
You should watch Tom McDonald's American Flags.
Just a note: this is the same country singer who’s concert goers were opened fire on and many died at his concert at Mandalay Bay in Vegas shooting.
And you're somehow suggesting that's his fault?
@@DaveJansenTPV what? I said “just a note”…do you know how to read? It was an observation: what planet are you on? 🤣
Okay?
Since when did you guys get so political
Have you not paid attention to the things Daz says.. he thinks it's ok to kill protesters and run them over
I don't think Daz knows.
What!?
Do Chris Stapleton fire away... great song great music video
This song is controversial because it was filmed was at the town square in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where the Columbia Race Riot began in 1946 after a struggle between a Black World War II veteran and a white shopkeeper. It has racist undertones and encourages violence.
No,people just wanted something to be upset about like usual. So someone started digging up history to see if they can make some false connection to this song. I thought it was about antifa but I guess some people think only blacks act up. Sounds like you are the racist ones.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Go mum 👊
You have to check out Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean
👏
Real americans love this song... hippies and leftists dont count.
You're treading on thin ice. With your fellow conserevatives constantly sucking up to Russia and threatening civil war like babies that need their nappies changed, I wouldn't joke about who is a "real American."
A great song. The truth hurts for some people. Isaiah 5:20.
I believe that verse is directed at people like you. You're the bad guy.

@@jameshunt9208 makes sense to me.
As much as i like this song the events of January 6th are the exact opposite of this song so hypocrisy is the true winner in the end
Its a subliminally racist song.. and its literally only charted high because closet racists love it and cream over it.. if he was singing about anything else none of these ppl jizzing over it wouldnt care and I didn't think yall would agree with him but since you do.. ✌🏾
Daz, when you're in the US you'll want to visit Charlottesville, VA. In 2017 a white supremacist deliberately drove his car into a crowd of people peacefully protesting the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing one person and injuring 35. *From Wikipedia:* "Fields was convicted in a state court of the first-degree murder of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, eight counts of malicious wounding, and hit and run. He also pled guilty to 29 of 30 federal hate crime charges to avoid the death penalty. He was sentenced to life in prison plus 419 years for the state charges, with an additional life sentence for the federal charges."
You've expressed great joy over car attacks on left wing protesters. Perhaps you can meet up with Virginia white supremacists and klan members and let them know you appreciate their effort.
If you read the article I left under the most recent 'car attack' video on your primary channel it explained that this tactic has long been used by white supremacists and the klan to terrorize peaceful leftist protesters.
This song is too pandering, Jason gotta get some more subtle lyrics
WRONG path. That thinking is why this world is becoming TOO SOFT. This world NEEDS more straight forward accountability and a lot less coddling. "Can't do that, Can't say that. Heaven forbid someone gets their feelings hurt."
@kendallcarstens9194
I agree. I wish more people would be more straightforward and just say they're racist instead of hiding behind the flag or music videos.
@@kendallcarstens9194 you are missing my point but i know you too far gone anyways

@@quasicrystal5166 if you can tell me how im missing the point i will no joke give you $100. ok now let your mentally challenged brain go wild. prove me wrong, come on i know you can do it
You should look up the meaning behind that song It is steeped in racism at its finest. it is a banned song and ur doing a reaction to history steeped in racism hence the name don't try it a small town
Are you watching the same music video? There is not any mention of race. The majority of the news footage shown was white people committing violence. I am very familiar with the accusations about this song. I know the history of the building behind him too. Where exactly is the racism in this song/music video?
How is it steeped in racism?
@@Yo-6495it’s not, these clowns look at everything and cry racist because they can’t actually come back with facts to dispute it

You used too many words to say nothing.
This song has a MUCH deeper meaning then y’all understand. Rooted in racism.
😂
Absolutely brainwashed

@@Eagless97 😂
You had your accusation ready before this song came out, and you were looking for a target. You missed by a mile.
Oh no 💀

Southern country and Western country are very different American subcultures. This shit is embarrassing. Western small towns are small. Small towns in the population dense southeast, you can throw a rock and be in another town or city.
