Got that right! Purple with pink polka dots and you have good values as a human.. my door is open and I will drop whatever I'm doing to come assist if needed. Just typical country folk 😉
I live in the desert near a very small village. A black couple moved here from the east and were very confused by the welcome they recieved. They were amazed that most everyone carries a gun and immediately bought some . Race means nothing here and that makes it difficult for outsiders to understand us. Thank you for a good reaction.
I'm Puerto Rican and moved down to Texas to a tiny town with dirt roads. Have not encountered any racism at all. We're a town made up of white, mexican, native american and me. We don't care what color your skin is as long as you're a decent human being. To be honest, I encountered more racism in NY and mostly from my own. Everyone has manners in the south, even if they hate your guts. LOL
Just in case anyone doesn’t know the line “I’d like to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eyes “, it’s referring to Beechnut chewing tobacco. The sting from tobacco juice in the eyes is probably as effective as mace, maybe worse. Great reaction Fabian, just subscribed! 👍👍👍👍👍
The part he sings in this song about his friend being murdered is absolutely true. It was important to him to include a tribute to his friend that lost his life in this way.
Being from "South Alabam", I will not comply. I hate the direction we are headed. We no longer have self reliance, personal responsibility, or honor. It was my pleasure and honor to grow up there.
Yeahhhhh, now imagine having to go get your own switch off the switch tree.......really a privy hedge, but I digress. That was one long dayummed walk back to where Momma was awaitin. You better have a switch she approved of and don't be adiddle-dallying. Momma had things to do.
Hank Williams Sr. was legendary - he died at 29 years old, when his son Hank Jr., was around 4 years old. His son may not remember him but he inherited his dad's talent. The song is one of the few that still holds true even after the years that have passed. Thanks for playing this & your comments.
Hey there, Im Ashley and a new subscriber. Fun fact! My older cousin is great friends with Hank Williams Jr. They enjoy hanging out playing music and go golfing together. Hank has a house here in Alabama close to my cousins house. Hank is a really great down to earth country boy. For alot of us down here in the south, we are all about our love for Jesus, our love for family and friends and football. And there a large group of us who could careless what color/race you are. What we care about most is MANNERS and RESPECT! Manners is expected from both the elderly and young little children. Shoot, my mama was already working on teaching me manners before I could talk many words and told me to chew with my mouth closed. And even though Im 37 years old, I call women a little older than me either Miss Or Mrs and include their last name or say yes ma'am and no sir. If I end up having a close friendship with them, we go to first name basis. But still, all of them who are much older than me I always address as Miss so and so or Mrs so and so. Infact, earlier this year I made the decision to enroll in GED Adult education classes to study fir my GED. Its been challenging because I've been out of school for over 20 years. But I didn't always know what I wanted to do back then and I got married when I was a teenager and am still happily married after all these years, we will soon be celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary, and I just started working in retail and got assistant manager jobs and such. But I have now found a desire to go back to school and get my GED and then go to college to get my associate's degree to become a preschool teacher, and then go back to get a bachelor and master's to teach from Pre-K to 6th grade. Although I hear preschool and Pre-K does have a bit of a lighter load than some of the older grades. But they still work hard and a lot is expected out of them. I know because my sister-in-law is a pre-K teacher. My mother-in-law is a retired R.N. who worked for over 40 years. She says that if she could go back and do it all over again she would have wanted to be a teacher instead. She could have retired after 25 years if she wanted to. But she became an RN instead and had to work longer. And since I'm no spring chicken I have to consider what field I'll go into carefully. And I was drawn to either becoming a Pre-K teacher or a speech pathologist assistant. But I'm leaning more towards early childhood education. It was unnerving walking into that classroom after being out of school for 20 years. But much to my relief I was not the oldest student there. There was some teenagers there, and some of them in their twenties, but there was several in their '30s like me and some were even in their 50s. But age is just a number, and it's never too late to do something you feel driven to do. With that being said, I've had plenty of time to get to know some of the other students. But all of them that are in their teen years and in their early twenties always speak to me with the greatest respect and call me ma'am. It did throw me off a few times because it does make me feel a little bit old but I'm not offended, I know they are just being respectful. And I admire young people who know how to show respect to their elders. Even if they're elder is only 10 or 15 years older than them.
The only racists that I’ve seen are the ones running the Democrat Plantation. How does the party of the KKK, Jim Crow Laws, and segregation get the Black vote? THEY LIE! THAT’S HOW!
Hank Jr is that dude. Legit as can be. He fell off a mountain once, 500ish feet or something. He sang the National Anthem at a Pittsburgh Steelers home game one time, ive been to a lot if games, heard a whole bunch of singers, Hank blew them all out of the water. "If Heaven Ain't Alot Like Dixie" is a really fun song of his. "The Conversation", a duet with another legend, Waylon Jennings, tells Hank Sr's story in just a few verses. Hank Sr was rhe OG Outlaw of country music. He lived the rock star lifestyle, drugs, booze, women. And he died too quick because of it.
527 feet and hit face first into a boulder.. and Yup he survived... thats the reason he keep the full beard and sunglasses to cover the scars on his face from the injuries
Thanks for the reaction! I am from South Georgia and most of the people I know, whatever race, could give a damn about a person's skin color. What matters is a person's behavior no matter the skin color.
My mother died in 1979. I'm 75 but when the time is right, I still hear my mother, "say ma'am, sir and open doors for women and let them enter first." Works for me.
You get it ! As a farmer/rancher we work 24/7 365 days of the year. We love our God, family, friends, animals and land. Not an easy life but wouldn’t have it any other way.
Only a fool would say racism doesn't exist, but as a country gal...and a gen-X Alabama country gal...it ain't what it used to be (thank the Good Lord). Very good reaction! Have you listened to The Ballad of Curtis Loew by Lynyrd Skynyrd? Always been my favorite by them. Written in 1974...you'll really like it I promise.
From an old gal raised and lived country my whole life...we are not racist. My neighbors were black n helped raised me n my sister after my mom died when I was 8. They were just country folk like us. We take care of each other out in the sticks.
I moved from LA to a small town west of Fort Worth 8 years ago; couldn't be happier. My friends say ma'am to me all the time. I say "yes honey"; they say "yes ma'am".
This is an anthem to country ppl. I was 15 yrs old on a camping trip the first time I heard this song.. I'm still living it to this day... I don't go to cities.. It's just me, hubby, the dogs, the chickens..the kids have grown up and our gone
For those of you who do not know Hank has a beard to hide the scars on his face from when he fell while rock climbing. When he fell he lost half of his face. He only lived because a stranger happened by and saved his life.
I've been listening to this one since it was released in '82. I'm no true country boy but I was smart enough to learn how to get along without many modern conveniences if I had to. Know how to grow your own food, hunt & fish, preserve it for unrefrigerated storage and have the tools at hand to do so.
Grown up in the Country all of my life. Its just how we're raised. We know that nobody is coming to save us when things get bad. You can depend on yourself. That’s it. It was a sweet way to live though.
Spent my younger years on a farm, my dad got up at 4am to milk, feed cattle and chickens and various livestock we had at the time. Go to work, come home, rest an hour or less, go take care of the animals, eat, work the garden, or cut firewood, fix barns or fencing. Go to bed and start over. And usually worked another 6-8 hours on Saturday and Sunday. He was my hero and still is even if cancer got him in the end.
It is very refreshing to see a reaction channel where the reactor(s) are the inset and the featured artists and songs are the big screen. Well done, young man, and thank you. Keep on surviving. 😊
He was born in Shreveport when his dad, Hank Sr, was playing on the Louisiana Hayride. They lived in Bossier City on McDade St. After his dad died, his stepmom married Johnny Horton.
Hank’s description is spot on! When all hell breaks loose in America we will certainly be able to survive! Thousands of guns, tens or hundreds of thousands of rounds and folks who can kill a deer at up to 500 yards!
"Yes Ma'am" is the respectable response. Has nothing to do with age, when my niece was a toddler and asked me anything I said "yes ma'am" or "no ma'am". Same way I would respect my grandmother. It's called having manors. Some yankee lady got pissed off at me, tried to tell me I can't talk to ladies like that. I said "ma'am, you are in Texas, this is how we show you respect even when you don't deserve any." She kept arguing that I can't call someone her age "ma'am". "If you don't like it, then you can leave. But you have zero right or authority to tell me to change."
I always thought this video needed a remake to add more diverse group of country folks. It is a great song from the era of Outlaw Country music and you are right, there are lots of Blacks who are country too, and say Mam and Grace like the rest of us do.
There is a like a list of Country essential songs through time that stand the test of time and will be played, I guess forever at clubs. Thomas Rhett put out an entire song that lists most of them. Unlike any other artist, HWJR has had 2 of them that would be on anyone's list except for maybe The Hag as well, but for Hank Jr, most defintely Family Tradition 1979 and Country Boy Can Survive 1982. Hank Jr was an Alabama boy, but born in Shreveport because his dad was doing the Louisiana Hay Ride radio show when Rocking Randall Hank Williams, aka Hank Jr was born.
i WONT - refuse to - live without Old Habits & Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound (however A Country Boy Cam Survive is obviously the anthem & Family Tradition is a given as well), HOWEVER Caw-Liga is my guilty pleasure & the track I listen to mostly. (but OLD HABITS still my ☝🏼MOST FAVORITE)
Before the video even gets started, I just wanted to let you know that I try to support all local acts, even if they are on UA-cam. I am also from Fort Worth, Texas, and just wanted to write a message of encouragement. Let’s go!
As a white 63 year old, I thought the exact same thing when I watched the video, several thousand times, I’m in the country in Texas and most of my best friends are not white, but then again, the video was made in 1982 or so years ago
White people in the city too but Rappers don't have them in their videos, don't mean they aren't liked or excepted by either of them but the heart of each person. Racists just need to seek the Lord and the rest of us to love each other to praise the Lord for our brothers & sisters of all colors. TY for the reaction!
"Family Tradition" is one of his best songs because he followed his father's footsteps in drug and alcohol abuse. Black artists have done well including Kane Brown who wrote the great song "One Mississippi" which is now the official state song of Mississippi. That's impressive considering the fact that Mississippi is the birthplace of The Civil Rights Movement with the murder of Emmitt Till as well as the murder of three civil rights workers depicted in the movie "Mississippi Burning". Mississippi is also known as The Birthplace of American Music and has dozens of historic music landmarks you can visit as well as the official Grammy Museum. Morgan Freeman's restaurant and bar is called Ground Zero and it's down the street from the Riverside Inn which is mentioned in a dozen different songs of different genres. The Crossroads is an hour away, mentioned in several songs and the name of an Eric Clapton album, where allegedly Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange for teaching him how to play the guitar "real good". The movie "O Brother Where Art Thou" is set in Mississippi and Robert Johnson's character is depicted.
I've listened to the whole video.. I'm a country girl and I'm white.. but, hello, I know there are black country ppl too. I respect them.. Farming is hard work. no matter color.City ppl need to respect what farmers do every day.. Sunup to Sundown we don't quit.
Love your reaction and love the demeanor. One criticism though... Saying "9 out of 10 times, a country person is racist" is like saying 9 out of 10 times a black person is a gang banger. Just sayin'..
i've ever met a person who's consulted with "the world"....where you gettin your analytics?! 🤔 and wtf you "reporting" on? nah, 😒 you either gossiping or projecting (or a combo the 2) cause aw nah, WHO make these "rules"? AIN'T NO WAY YOU SERIOUS!
I grew up in a little town in Nebraska. One black family in town. Dad was friends. They played pool together. I remember going into their basement, every wall was covered in Ebony magazine covers? It was the coolest thing I had ever seen? They must have missed their own. The entire town of whitey-tighty accepted them. I grew up and moved to Houston for 12 years. Most of my friends were black and hispanic. It was no big deal? We hung out, we did stuff together. Late 1980's. I wish it were like that today? I blame oboma. There was not racial divide before that.
Hank Jr. gives credit to many influences and inspirations but one stand out was Rufus “Tee Tot” Payne. You might want to look him up to understand some of the diversity from which Hank draws.
43 yrs in northern MN here. Punking 12 cord of wood every spring, fishing, hunting, plowing, hay rides, pitchforks, harvesting gardens, drinking milk straight from the cow, and pulling a carrot, feeling the dirt in your teeth because you just brushed it off quick, tailgate parties. Yes. We can survive. I moved to NJ. I've never seen such a group of people who need help. With everything. All the time. Can't change a tire. Can't fix your own roofs. Hire others to mow your lawns. Don't make ANY Christmas gifts. Don't respect elders. Don't stand when an elder walks in the room, offering your chair. Hubby and I will be moving along next year. It's just too depressing and hostile here. Back to the country, where we belong.
I've lived in the country most of my life. It is very diverse and not very racist. Maybe that's just where I'm from, but I doubt it. The mainstream wants people to think those things because it fuels the division they strive so hard for.
I live in the rocky mountains of Colorado. 3 years ago a couple moved in a white woman married to a Black man from Zimbabwe, opened a restaurant. Most of our community loves and respects them. Recently there have been threats made. So I sit in the corner of the restaurant with a .12g. Mess with them you get me
I was in a bar one night talking to a girl. She said something, and i said "yes ma'am". She said, "did you just call me ma'am"? I said "no ma'am, i would never do that"... she didn't talk to me for long.
I believe if you visited the country you'd see most country folk ain't racist. And I don't believe it's significantly more prominent in cities either, the media portrays it differently than it actually is.
If you say so. I think it’s one thing being a minority and experiencing it first hand. You can believe it’s all sweet but only the ones who are discriminated against really live it day to day
@@FortWorthFabian If you say so, go on playing the victim. Smh So blacks must be racist too, there are lots of rapper videos with no white people in them, I don't think that, but that's the kind of logic in your saying no black people in this video makes country people racist, generalizing that way solves nothing.
@@Kevin-i6t5iyou’re getting in your feelings man lol don’t be mad just because I express my reality. It’s lose lose either way with folks like you. If I express my reality/opinion it’s being a victim 😂 I don’t care at all but is it real yes. Does it stop my life no. I don’t care if there’s no white folks in a rap video I accept that reality and why that is.. that’s life but on the flip side you can’t accept the other so 🤷🏾♂️ Stay blessed boss
@@Kevin-i6t5iyea and reality is racist sorry to say 😂 wake up and smell the coffee. Accepting reality isn’t being a victim it’s being aware. Now does it take away from the love in my heart for people NO
You are very correct. Many country families are Black. What used to be... is no more that i have experienced tho. You stated 9 times out of 10 racism exists more in the country.. I would say that no longer exists. We (Black and White) all help each other in the country. I am 57, and I had never seen racism until i joined the Army. And even that didn't survive once we went to war. But back home. no Sir, We all keep to our business until someone is in need, (No matter the color of our shells) We all strive together when it comes to it. And that is the way we want to keep it. Racism has no place in my Country.
Thing is alot of the videos you dont see the diversity, but we all know the diversity is there, were all neighbors and family. Hell Charlie Pride is country legend, Darrius Rucker is another, Coffee Anderson, not to mention the rodeo legend Leon Coffee, Willie Thomas, real history Bill Pickett and now Charlie Sampson. And alot more. Cowboys have a long history of diversity. so ill shut up just thought id share some history 😂
I grew up in rural South Georgia. I saw more racism in the cities and definitely more north. I also served in the Marines for 13 years. The vast majority of racism I saw from politicians.

It's respect, I have said yes sir to my now grown son. He's getting it done out here in the country. It's just respect.

Not all of us are racists in the country. Some are indeed, but not all of us.
The politicians are the racists. There's a lot of money to be made in racism. Plus divide and conquer is the main way to kill a country and take over
The only racists that I’ve seen are the ones running the Democrat Plantation. How does the party of the KKK, Jim Crow Laws, and segregation get the Black vote? THEY LIE! THAT’S HOW!
Most of the racism I've seen is coming from black people in the last 10yrs!...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠
To be fair, you'll find idiots in the city too. Lol

Hank’s description is spot on! When all hell breaks loose in America we will certainly be able to survive! Thousands of guns, tens or hundreds of thousands of rounds and folks who can kill a deer at up to 500 yards!
I got to hang out at a few black owned farms. It was a trip to check the fence line just pounding some beats, it was a fantastic time!
Hank Williams Sr is the grandfather of country
His dad was a great singer ❤
"Yes Ma'am" is the respectable response. Has nothing to do with age, when my niece was a toddler and asked me anything I said "yes ma'am" or "no ma'am". Same way I would respect my grandmother. It's called having manors.
Some yankee lady got pissed off at me, tried to tell me I can't talk to ladies like that. I said "ma'am, you are in Texas, this is how we show you respect even when you don't deserve any."
She kept arguing that I can't call someone her age "ma'am".
"If you don't like it, then you can leave. But you have zero right or authority to tell me to change."
I haven't heard this song in many years.
AMEN to your opening prayer!!!!
You got a lot of insight into what it is to live off the land. Good reaction 👍
I grew up in East Texas and now live in Utah. I got ya on the "yes mam, no mam" thing
Facts
Yes'Sir : )
Grew up with this song. ❤
I'm a metal fan but I can listen to this man and Waylon.
Enjoyed watching you😊😊😊.

I always thought this video needed a remake to add more diverse group of country folks. It is a great song from the era of Outlaw Country music and you are right, there are lots of Blacks who are country too, and say Mam and Grace like the rest of us do.
There is a like a list of Country essential songs through time that stand the test of time and will be played, I guess forever at clubs. Thomas Rhett put out an entire song that lists most of them. Unlike any other artist, HWJR has had 2 of them that would be on anyone's list except for maybe The Hag as well, but for Hank Jr, most defintely Family Tradition 1979 and Country Boy Can Survive 1982.
Hank Jr was an Alabama boy, but born in Shreveport because his dad was doing the Louisiana Hay Ride radio show when Rocking Randall Hank Williams, aka Hank Jr was born.
i WONT - refuse to - live without Old Habits & Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound (however A Country Boy Cam Survive is obviously the anthem & Family Tradition is a given as well), HOWEVER Caw-Liga is my guilty pleasure & the track I listen to mostly.
(but OLD HABITS still my ☝🏼MOST FAVORITE)
Before the video even gets started, I just wanted to let you know that I try to support all local acts, even if they are on UA-cam. I am also from Fort Worth, Texas, and just wanted to write a message of encouragement. Let’s go!
Love the closed captioning 😂😂😂 spin a button 😂😂😂
I'm in AZ now but I'm Funky Town to the soul. GO FROGGYS!
hes from alabama in birmingham there is musium honoring his father hank williams
He’s from my neck of the woods ❤️ we say ma’am and sir to everyone around here. Don’t matter if you’re 4 or 94 😊
As a white 63 year old, I thought the exact same thing when I watched the video, several thousand times, I’m in the country in Texas and most of my best friends are not white, but then again, the video was made in 1982 or so years ago
TY and God bless!
White people in the city too but Rappers don't have them in their videos, don't mean they aren't liked or excepted by either of them but the heart of each person. Racists just need to seek the Lord and the rest of us to love each other to praise the Lord for our brothers & sisters of all colors. TY for the reaction!
Yeah, we sick of all the sidewalk babies. Great reaction man.
Amen Brother!
"Family Tradition" is one of his best songs because he followed his father's footsteps in drug and alcohol abuse. Black artists have done well including Kane Brown who wrote the great song "One Mississippi" which is now the official state song of Mississippi. That's impressive considering the fact that Mississippi is the birthplace of The Civil Rights Movement with the murder of Emmitt Till as well as the murder of three civil rights workers depicted in the movie "Mississippi Burning". Mississippi is also known as The Birthplace of American Music and has dozens of historic music landmarks you can visit as well as the official Grammy Museum. Morgan Freeman's restaurant and bar is called Ground Zero and it's down the street from the Riverside Inn which is mentioned in a dozen different songs of different genres. The Crossroads is an hour away, mentioned in several songs and the name of an Eric Clapton album, where allegedly Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange for teaching him how to play the guitar "real good". The movie "O Brother Where Art Thou" is set in Mississippi and Robert Johnson's character is depicted.
I Live in the country…not racist. Great reaction, God bless
I've listened to the whole video.. I'm a country girl and I'm white.. but, hello, I know there are black country ppl too. I respect them.. Farming is hard work. no matter color.City ppl need to respect what farmers do every day.. Sunup to Sundown we don't quit.
He's actually from Montgomery Alabama
o ok
"We say grace & we say ma'am. If you ain't into that we don't give a damn."."
I believe he from Alabama. I know he had Hanks Montana Exchange near Cullman, Al. And my GrandParents lived about 15 miles away.
❤😊
Love your reaction and love the demeanor. One criticism though...
Saying "9 out of 10 times, a country person is racist" is like saying 9 out of 10 times a black person is a gang banger. Just sayin'..
Well guess what the world believes that statement. I don’t make the rules I just report them 🤷🏾♂️ I’m not offended by you saying that
i've ever met a person who's consulted with "the world"....where you gettin your analytics?! 🤔
and wtf you "reporting" on? nah, 😒 you either gossiping or projecting (or a combo the 2)
cause aw nah, WHO make these "rules"? AIN'T NO WAY YOU SERIOUS!
I grew up in a little town in Nebraska. One black family in town. Dad was friends. They played pool together. I remember going into their basement, every wall was covered in Ebony magazine
covers? It was the coolest thing I had ever seen? They must have missed their own. The entire town of whitey-tighty accepted them. I grew up and moved to Houston for 12 years.
Most of my friends were black and hispanic. It was no big deal? We hung out, we did stuff together. Late 1980's. I wish it were like that today? I blame oboma.
There was not racial divide before that.
You should react to Family Tradition by Hank Williams Jr.
I'm from a small village the whole town was a half mile long and about as wide our main street was a back country road
😮
Hank Jr. gives credit to many influences and inspirations but one stand out was Rufus “Tee Tot” Payne. You might want to look him up to understand some of the diversity from which Hank draws.
Country ain’t racist. All we are about is God, family, and country. In that exact order. Here you’re judged by how hard you work
43 yrs in northern MN here. Punking 12 cord of wood every spring, fishing, hunting, plowing, hay rides, pitchforks, harvesting gardens, drinking milk straight from the cow, and pulling a carrot, feeling the dirt in your teeth because you just brushed it off quick, tailgate parties. Yes. We can survive. I moved to NJ. I've never seen such a group of people who need help. With everything. All the time. Can't change a tire. Can't fix your own roofs. Hire others to mow your lawns. Don't make ANY Christmas gifts. Don't respect elders. Don't stand when an elder walks in the room, offering your chair. Hubby and I will be moving along next year. It's just too depressing and hostile here. Back to the country, where we belong.
If you want a good laugh use UA-cam Closed Captioning. Hank Jr is one of my all time favorite singer/ songwriters.
Funky town that’s where I am from👍
Shout out to you
Charlie Pride---Kane Brown--Darius Rucker--is a good start---
Video was made years after the song came out. Music videos didn't exist at the time
I've lived in the country most of my life. It is very diverse and not very racist. Maybe that's just where I'm from, but I doubt it. The mainstream wants people to think those things because it fuels the division they strive so hard for.
Thats the video in the song of his friend getting knifed ky the killer
Im in the country, and have many neighbors of color.
That’s great
Hank Williams is the son of Hank Williams Sr,
He’s not calling anyone ma’am. He says ‘we say grace and we say ma’am if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn’

I'm A Georgia boy white now living ks never let the color of friendship change me ❤❤❤❤❤mom and dad raised me better miss home
I have women tell me not to call them Ma'am. But its what my Mama taught me and it don't go away that easy. Lol
I live in the rocky mountains of Colorado. 3 years ago a couple moved in a white woman married to a Black man from Zimbabwe, opened a restaurant. Most of our community loves and respects them. Recently there have been threats made. So I sit in the corner of the restaurant with a .12g. Mess with them you get me

Facts
I was in a bar one night talking to a girl. She said something, and i said "yes ma'am". She said, "did you just call me ma'am"? I said "no ma'am, i would never do that"... she didn't talk to me for long.
If war broke out or something, country people would survive. They live off the land. City folk freak out if internet goes out 2 mins. lol
I believe if you visited the country you'd see most country folk ain't racist.
And I don't believe it's significantly more prominent in cities either, the media portrays it differently than it actually is.
If you say so. I think it’s one thing being a minority and experiencing it first hand. You can believe it’s all sweet but only the ones who are discriminated against really live it day to day
@@FortWorthFabian If you say so, go on playing the victim. Smh
So blacks must be racist too, there are lots of rapper videos with no white people in them, I don't think that, but that's the kind of logic in your saying no black people in this video makes country people racist, generalizing that way solves nothing.
@@Kevin-i6t5iyou’re getting in your feelings man lol don’t be mad just because I express my reality. It’s lose lose either way with folks like you. If I express my reality/opinion it’s being a victim 😂 I don’t care at all but is it real yes. Does it stop my life no. I don’t care if there’s no white folks in a rap video I accept that reality and why that is.. that’s life but on the flip side you can’t accept the other so 🤷🏾♂️ Stay blessed boss
@@FortWorthFabian sonny I don't get in my "feelings" I'm way to old for that childish crap, and I choose to live in reality.
@@Kevin-i6t5iyea and reality is racist sorry to say 😂 wake up and smell the coffee. Accepting reality isn’t being a victim it’s being aware. Now does it take away from the love in my heart for people NO
You are very correct. Many country families are Black. What used to be... is no more that i have experienced tho. You stated 9 times out of 10 racism exists more in the country.. I would say that no longer exists. We (Black and White) all help each other in the country. I am 57, and I had never seen racism until i joined the Army. And even that didn't survive once we went to war. But back home. no Sir, We all keep to our business until someone is in need, (No matter the color of our shells) We all strive together when it comes to it. And that is the way we want to keep it. Racism has no place in my Country.
Thing is alot of the videos you dont see the diversity, but we all know the diversity is there, were all neighbors and family. Hell Charlie Pride is country legend, Darrius Rucker is another, Coffee Anderson, not to mention the rodeo legend Leon Coffee, Willie Thomas, real history Bill Pickett and now Charlie Sampson. And alot more. Cowboys have a long history of diversity. so ill shut up just thought id share some history 😂
I grew up in rural South Georgia. I saw more racism in the cities and definitely more north. I also served in the Marines for 13 years. The vast majority of racism I saw from politicians.
