It’s racist to some people cause obviously only black people commit crimes. Had an argument with a woman she said it paints black people in a bad light. Liberals here really just have the usual racism of low expectations they have always had. The other one is there was apparently a lynching back in the 1920s at that Courthouse however again that wouldn’t be relevant if they weren’t assuming they are talking about black people (aka in their minds criminals)

I live in a small town in the US. He's not wrong. The big cities have lost their fucking minds, but if anyone tries that here in a small town, well, we got a 2nd amendment for a reason... Try that here and you most likely won't live to see tomorrow. We do take care of our own. Also, there's something even our own government doesn't take into consideration.... Warriors desire peace more than anything. As a Vet, I can confirm this. Most of us move to small towns to get away from ignorant assholes. If you tried that riot shit here, you will find out. That is why American small towns are known collectively as "the land of fuck around and find out." Big cities make the news. The reason small towns don't is simply because we use our law and rights to defend ourselves.

Here’s the context from an American on why the lyrics are so fucked up. “Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk Carjack an old lady at a red light Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like” He’s describing crimes but he’s clearly talking about black people. Due to how they’re portrayed in the media. Lots of historical context over 150 years about how black people were enslaved then set free then partially enslaved again then set free but only as 2nd class citizens and given no right until about the 1960s where there are still many racist people alive today that we’re still around back then. All that to say. Black people in the USA are much poorer than their white counterparts who have a 150 year head start to the race. Since poverty is directly tied to crime there’s more crimes being committed in poorer neighborhoods which are more likely to be populated by black people. When you factor in income into the statistics all races commit crimes at the same rate but a lot of media institutions intentionally leave out that context and just show bar graphs that show black people committing more crimes than white people and then continue the narrative that all minorities especially black people are criminals. “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face Stomp on the flag and light it up Yeah, ya think you're tough” Cussing out a police officer and stomping out the American flag are all legally considered free speech under the 1st amendment of the United States constitution. However Jason does not approve of those actions and even though you’re free to do it. He hates you for it. And here’s why. “Well, try that in a small town See how far ya make it down the road Around here, we take care of our own” “Try that in a small town” is basically him saying if you try and do constitutionally protected activity like calling a police officer a bad word or burning the American flag you will be shot. And killed. So don’t come to our small town and we won’t have to murder you. Is the translation Also “we’ll see how far you make it down the road” is referencing a recent news story in the state of Georgia where an elderly white man shot up a car full of teenage black girls and killed 2 of them because they were turning around in his driveway because they made the wrong turn. They then sped down the road as they were bleeding from their wounds and then the driver passed out from blood loss and they crashed into a tree. The man was not arrested for almost a month. When Jason is saying “we take care of our own” he’s referring to white people. It’s a very common thing said by racist people here in the south. Also the “small town” reference is referring to white neighborhoods. Due to legal racial segregation for so long many small towns especially in the south are extremely white. “You cross that line, it won't take long For you to find out, I recommend you don't Try that in a small town” So this is him directly talking to black people and threatening them directly saying if you come move into our white neighborhood we will shoot and kill you. Why? Because the “cross that line” comment. Is a direct reference to “redlining” A practice where black people were legally segregated into their own neighborhoods too and forbidden to move into white neighborhoods This is the most egregious part in my opinion. “Got a gun that my granddad gave me They say one day they're gonna round up Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck” When Jason says “they are going to round up“ the “they” he is reffering to are black people. And the round up he’s reffering to is them getting together and collectively demanding equality and fair treatment by the police. Aka “hey don’t kill us disproportionately please. It kinda seems like you’re purposely trying to kill us” This is also in reference to the murder of George Floyd in 2020 after he was strangled for 9 mins straight by the police begging and pleading for air until they crushed his wind pipe and he died. The protests demanding justice afterwards is directly being referenced here “Full of good ol' boys, raised up right” This is so racist Jesus Christ 😂😂 omg so “good ol’ boys” is literally a reference to the confederate states of America during the American civil war. The confederate soldiers, who were fighting on the side of preserving slavery in America were called “good ol boys” now in modern times this is just a racist dog whistle Now I have completely and egregiously oversimplified so much historical and contemporary context but hopefully I did a good enough job explaining why this dude is so fucked up and a piece of shit

The song speaks up against the liberal behavior we saw with their riots. They don't like that. The song is terrific and speaks up against violence and bad behavior. The hot button insult from liberals is always calling anyone who disagrees with them "racist" believing that labels one and they can't fight against it.

I live near the town of Undisclosed Location, Alabama at the conner of No Street and Where Avenue. My neighbors are Black, White, and Red (Choctaw Peoples). We get along. We support each other. A couple of years ago, we got hit hard by a fast-moving Hurricane Zeta which managed to make it 100 miles inland with 90 mph winds. No power. No county water. Power lines all over every which way. It was a mess. I have Solar Power, not for any Green thing but because of emergencies. I loaned out generators. I gave out water from my wells. I made ice in my freezers. I was proud to do it. I had a big oak tree that fell across my 200-meter-long driveway. Neighbors arrived with chain saws. It was converted to firewood in two hours. The following hunting season, I had four deer dropped of by neighbors who claimed that "We figured you could use it." We take care of each other. Only Blue City people could object to the song.

They didn't cancel Hannah Montana for this place being in the movie. I've lived in a small town all of my 47 years and I can tell you, we stick together regardless of color or background. There was a group of black ladies that would do an exercise walk in the mall on Saturday morning. They'd pray before and one day were asked to leave because they were praying. The following weekend, hundreds of us showed up in the mall parking lot, shoulder to shoulder, all races and prayed with those ladies right in front of the mall. In small towns, we stick together and as Aldean said, we take care of our own. Our guns are our means of hunting and defending our homes and families. If someone seeks to take your guns it's because they intend on doing something you'd shoot them for. We don't care who it is, if our communities are attacked, we will defend each other and each others businesses and homes from being destroyed. That is just how small towns in America are.

They said it was racist. He only showed actual video footage and never called ANYBODY out. Sounds simple to me.

That’s actual news footage

I moved from a city in Massachusetts to a small town in Tennessee and the crimes and violence against defenseless people wouldn't be tolerated a example would be i got mugged 4 times growing up north down here someone decided they were going to break into my house while i was gone and neighbors i barely knew showed up with guns telling them lay down on the ground the police are on the way and youd better believe those criminals obeyed them

The reason that it was so controversial is because of where they filmed the video. Which to me is a tactic to distract from the message the song is portraying. To me it means in a small town nobody would try this kind of thing, ie. rioting violently, looting, etc, in a way as they would in a bigger city where the reprimand would probably be far less or nothing at all, because they would never get as far as being caught by the law or otherwise because they would be stopped or already too afraid/worried whatever it is to do those things. It is also important to mention that most protesters are there in a peaceful way, but the people that are being brought up in this song, and in this light are the ones who give peaceful protesters a bad name. It’s a real shame, but the controversy comes from a place of only preaching more hate and anger, because that is not what was meant by this song or video.

Hi from Indiana..... this song is fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The song is basically saying that the riot and crimes being committed in the cities won’t fly in a close knit community who isn’t afraid to fight back. Most of the controversy is pretty stupid pretty much them picking out words in the song and fixating on them. I remember someone did a whole rant on the “good ole boys” line. They were accusing Jason Aldean saying that he was apart of a right-wing radicalist group who adopted that name even thou the good ole boys has been a phrase for years, getting a lot of its popularity from dukes of hazard. The other major bit is over the location which ok welcome to American you can got to the most peaceful city there is and if you dig back far enough you’ll find a shit ton of fked up shit that happened there, so I don’t put much stock in a building

I'm from Texas, in a small community of 126 people, farming people. This song resonates as it captures the spirit of standing together, coming out to take care of others in the area. The song speaks up against the riots, the violence perpetrated against people who don't agree with the 'Woke' agenda. Protests can be a good thing, folks can speak their minds. Protests that turn to violence against people and businesses who are not the reason for the protest are wrong. The only thing I might say is problematic is the courthouse WAS the site of a black man's lynching... way back in the 1920's. The culture of racism back then was wrong. Good luck finding an old 1920's courthouse anywhere in the nation that didn't have a history of at least one such travesty of justice. Wounds of the past cannot be healed by continually ripping the wound open.

I got the message that in big cities people get away with stuff he's just trying to bring out our attention to what's going on in the world and that's why he says what he says in his song it had nothing to do with attacking people's race. but if you were to try that in smaller town and a full community where everyone knows everyone because the town is so small that's not going to fly, as he said, so you can't hide in the town, you can't escape, and there going to take care of their own.

Dude I'm 60 years old grew up in a small town with maybe a 1000 people. And not all of us like each other but you let somebody else come in there and mess with your neighbor it wouldn't go well for them. RESPECT!!!!!!

I live in Idaho in America and the reason this song is being hijacked is that it speaks for real America and how we feel about all that's going on. We are all armed and will not tolerate this if it comes to our home towns.

You are so right on

Truth hurt…. Is what happens in large cities, NY, LA, Chicago, crime as you see on the video many people didn’t like the fact that is true.

The courthouse is near Jason's home. Just a guess on my part but it was likely just a good setting for the video in a location where Jason's production folks have local contacts.

They've never been to a small town, and just as we rebelled against you Brits, we will again reenact 1776, if we need to, on our own government as our constitution says to do if it ever becomes tyrannical.

I love this Luke, I'm a City Boy from Chicago, Illinois, but having lived in Texas 15+ years yeah, to me Aldean did/said nothing wrong bro, I honestly can't figure out why folks are in arms about this????

BTW, also, NEVER apologize for having an opinion. I fought, lost friends, and bled for all people's right to do so. I may be American, but that includes your right to speak. So no, obviously unable to speak on this, is not the correct take. I love you and your channel, but I find it personally offensive that you are so careful with your speech. I didn't bleed for you to be a pussy. However, I know I'm coming off as "too harsh." Sorry about that, and I will continue to support you in all you do. Please forgive me for that.

I live in a small town that is about 45 minutes north of where Jason is from in Georgia. I live in Jackson which has a population a little over 5,600 people. The lyrics try that in a small town make sense to me because some of the things he's talking about would get you a good butt stomping here. We have each others backs and we take care of one another. You don't play around with the American flag. Come to a small town and try burning a flag....it won't go well. Yes there are a lot of rednecks here and there are racist people here I'm not saying we don't, but it isn't as prevalent as it is in the big cities.

It's pretty frequent that bigoted small towns murder minorities that even just visit their town. Pretty common they murder teens for accidentally knocking on the wrong door as well.

This song is a much-needed response to three years of Leftist crime and violence...supported by our Government. It gives voice to millions of decent people whose sense of normalcy has been toppled by this madness. Hope this adds some insight.

It’s only controversial to the woke leftists. Since CMT banned the video sales have skyrocketed!! This song is America. Patriotic. The majority who are sick of what’s happening to our country love this song. We need to clean house of those in Washington since 2020. React to Rich Men North of Richmond.

My personal opinion is it's a terrific song!

Some of the controversy stems from the fact that The video features footage of protests and robberies projected onto a courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where 18-year-old Black man Henry Choate was lynched in 1927 Lynching used to be a fairly common way that people “took care of their own” the song was pulled from a TV show and now everyone is taking sides.

That's just an excuse someone had to dig real hard to come up with. It was 100 freaking years ago and if you hadn't have had some woke joke tell you about it, you never would have known or cared. Stop manufacturing reasons to be pissed off and miserable. The truth is, this site was used because it's not far from where Jason Aldean lives and he could go back and forth between shooting and being with his family.

Day 69 of recommending the Beyblade openings. There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!

That just doesn’t make sense for people to be mad about because the lyrics aren’t specifically targeted at any one race. I think that the people who think the music video is racist are the real racists for automatically assuming the crimes were committed by black people.

The reason its Controversial is the building in the video is a building in Atlanta, Georgia apparently there was a lynching of a African American that was there a very long time ago and the uneducated people to put it sorta nicely who say this is controversial are putting the lynching and the crimes in the video together because they think that black people only do those crimes which is completely not true, i mean he showed damn near all races committing crimes but im pretty sure more of the crimes in the video was white people committing them. Thats what im thinking at least, hell im going to be honest as someone who lives in a town that has a population of only like 4000 people, i barely even graduated high school and ive never even left the state im from (Missouri, USA) even i know that what they are saying about this song is bullshit, there may be violence in the video but there is barely any crime im my town because literally just about everybody knows everyone. honestly i feel like as long as you raise your kids right, and to keep in mind that kids will grow up doing the things they see their parents do whether that be violence, drugs or whatever. My grandparents raised me, and i learned from them that being humble and kind will get you alot further in life that violence ever will sure people who are violent may get to the top so to speak but they soon fall back down because violence doesn't solve anything

Exactly. Says more about them than the song or Aldean. Spot on.

Honestly, my belief is it is controversial because *some* people had falsely believed they were destroying typical American attitudes and they can't stand people willing to stand against violence and threats.

I never heard of this singer before until all of the controversy. When his song was labeled racist I had to find out all about him. When I first listened to the song. It made me cry . I grew up in a small town. I watched The video and read the lyrics, Not one black person is in the video And there are. No foul words.. Many reviewers that are black have said. That this song is not racist.. Everyone had to find out what the problem was... This is what happened...... Over a 100 years ago, at the sight of that building where they have the flags, there was a lynching of a boy of 16 years of age. He was lynched because he assaulted a white boy. Arount the same age. So all of the hoopla is over a lynching that took place over a hundred years, ag[o.

Lots of things were filmed there. They knew nothing of the history

Well it just means law and order hasn’t been turned off in small towns. Acting up brings shame to the families name. Every one knows every one else. You will go to jail. Leave your crazy in the big city if you like it like that.

Only reason i heard about this song was cause of the so called "controversy" xD But I think it's more of a "twitter angry" moment.

Yes like you said nothing racist about it. Just good old boys taking care of their neighbors. And speaking out against rioters during the BLM movement. Along with any other kinda violence. Stating it wont be allowed in small towns. Ive listed to black creaters reacting to this and 99.99% stated they loved the song and it wasnt racist at all. One even stated the people who do say this is racist is a racist themselves. The only reactir who said it was racist was a 20 something year old black kid and his father disagreed with him. His son kept trying to get him to change his mind but the father was adamant. Saying Jason wasnt talking about him. He was talking about rioters, looters and all kinds of violence. Saying their is a difference between protesting for BLM which i support 100% and rioting and destroying peoples property and homes and businesses. Tom McDonald definitely said it best when he says the government is trying to turn people against each other, and nothing will change until you ban together and stop listening to them. Every one should be equal, we all bleed red. And this is coming from someone who's grandparents were racist. Luckily my mom taught us differently and we were all the same, we grew up never seeing the color of someone's skin. If my mom followed her parents views (which at that time seemed normal for people to think like that) she'd never have had me or maybe sisters since we were born from Mexican fathers, our brothers from white guys. Her mom didnt like our paratage, going as far as to say if i was a Mexican she didn't want to see me and my mom better not bring her in the house (where they lived together, as our mom took care of her for awhile before my uncle took over). She got over it. We didnt have a close relationship. Funnily enough she had two favorites, one of our brothers and the oldest sister (half Mexican) and she doted on them more than anyone. Indulging them in food (which to no surprise, they are obese as adults. Probably very unhealthy. Our brother wont go to the doctors even to see if he has kidney disease that runs in the family. (so far only one of us has it so far, my other sister, besides our mom and uncle.) But the overweight sister has finally been told she has to go on a diet and lose weight because shes borderline diabetic (we've tried before to get her to eat healthier and lose weight for health reasons but she'd go on the defensive and accuse everyone of not wanting her to eat).

Nice song. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
