But when asked about it, just come clean with the meaning. Why is that so hard? Why does it need to be in code? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) What a coincidence: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/the-story-of-the-lynching-site-where-jason-aldean-filmed-a-music-video/ar-AA1e59Wt The Tennessee native has faced backlash in recent days for filming the music video at the site of Choate’s lynching, as well as lyrics that critics say evoke vigilantism and promote gun violence. The video, which shows a large U.S. flag hanging from the courthouse where Choate was lynched, was removed from CMT’s rotation in response to the criticism. Aldean denounced the allegations of “releasing a pro-lynching song” in a statement posted to Twitteron Tuesday. “These references are not only meritless, but dangerous,” Aldean wrote. “There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it — and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage — and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music — this one goes too far.” Edited July 20, 2023 by redtail hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a not so veiled threat. I am curious if you apply the same amount of scrutiny to Biden as you do some dumb country singer? The lynching was 100+ years ago, but if you gave half of the scrutiny to Biden his presentation of the white house in red was clearly to imitate Hitler. The lynching is likely not known by most of the town due to its age but everyone with an ounce of intelligence recognizes Hitler references. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irv Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Joke/Coke Bribe'em is the biggest hypocrite. Total racist. All the Libs are racist. They treat African Americans like helpless fools. Should be ashamed of themselves for treating them like that. What a mess. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a not so veiled threat. I heard some people mentioning that on the internet… The first thing that came to mind was- does that mean that no one can ever shoot a video with that particular courthouse because of a lynching generations ago? And how many times have other locations, that had bad things happen, been in videos? Gangster rap literally talks about killing people, and it is celebrated as art… At first glance I thought it was the White House…What if the artist just wanted something that resembles it, so they could hang the American flag, in response to the Pride flag being hung at the White House? Maybe he wanted the courthouse to depict law and order vs. the lawlessness shown in the video? My point is, there are so many possible reasons for the courthouse, that to just narrow it down to 1 makes it seem like people with an agenda we’re desperately seeking a reason to attack the video…After all, the “Anti-Racist” sees race in everything… The video was intense, yes- absolutely… But in no way do I see it promoting or advocating for the lynching of black people…It’s not about race- it’s about culture…And, even though I’m not from a small town, that video echoes the same sentiment that I had during those riots…so I definitely understand where it’s coming from…👍 Edited July 20, 2023 by JaCrispy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's selling to them just like trump is selling to you. He tells them what they want to hear and they eat it up. Sadly there are many of them as sampled here. For anyone to suggest this wasn't a willfull reference to the lynching is intellectually dishonest but we all know that's par for the course here. Simple but important questions get ignored but answered by your silence. Who thinks that the fake electors scheme was ok if it resulted in trump becoming prez? As I stated earlier, why is it so difficult to be forthright about opinions you clearly hold strongly but won't publicly admit. Aldean is doing the same thing. And it's deplorable.

I disagree… Again, Aldean never made the issue about race…He made it about crime and lawlessness around the country… It is only the people who don’t like the patriotic message, and agree with the destruction of country who try to discredit the message, and try make it about race- just like they do with everything else… However, Antifa, who was one of the main groups destroying cities 3 years ago is at least 90% white… To quote the famous Denzel Washington- Its not about race, it’s about culture… I may not be white, but I associate more with the message of the video and the people who support it, more than those criminal thugs in the street…👍 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a life. WTF isn't racist now? Pick anything and call it racist and the useful idiots will soil themselves and run with it. What a mess.
