Jason Aldean has a small man insecurity. He is trying to exploit small town insecurities from his mansion and security detail. #PlasticCowboy
Can't imagine surviving a mass shooting where guns killed 60 innocent people and wounded 400 more, and you think guns are the way to resolve issues. Fcuking 🤡
To those who don't know the history of racism, Jason Aldean's song "Try That In A Small Town" couldn't possibly be racist. After all, there are no racist slurs or literal mentions of black people.
But to those who know the history of racism, the song is clearly racist. It's clearly conflating random acts of senseless violence with protests against police brutality, which racists have been doing since forever.
That's why the history of racism needs to be taught in schools. And that's why racists don't want it taught.
There is no non-racialized way to write a song about lynching.
When Jason Aldean sings, “See how far ya make it down the road,” it invokes a very particular legacy
Plus it goes without saying but when people like him talk about small towns people like me think about sundown towns. Look it up
There’s a better way to write a song about small towns without conjecturing memories of lynchings
plus who does he think he is to sing about people will be punished severely for having the audacity to take away the guns, he’s been through a mass shooting back in 2017 in Las Vegas during his concert… he should know better!
