@AneeshMenon10@JayStark14@TheDixonWhite If you want to focus on that, then OK. I can argue that it’s less than 30 miles from his home and the town center of a small town in TN. People were lynched in trees and in front of other buildings, if you want to mark them as symbols too,,,get ready to be tired.
@PhillC1003@TheDixonWhite Look at his posts. I’m not bothered by being white. I’m good trust me. My opinion is he does things for follows and likes. That’s all.
@celesterstewart @TheDixonWhite OK. I can respect that. And Celest, thanks for having civil, open dialogue with me and not attacking me personally. It’s refreshing to be able to disagree on one level and still be polite & respectful. I have a lot of respect for you as a result of our interaction.
@celesterstewart @TheDixonWhite I’m just saying that the same place was used as a setting. And I guess I’m asking what the difference is…if it’s apples to oranges. Why is it OK for a movie but not a music video? All white people in both.
@celesterstewart @TheDixonWhite I don’t believe this is a dog whistle. I don’t think Aldean is racist. I think he wrote a song and maybe didn’t research where his video was shot. He lives less than 30 miles from that town square. Call it lazy, call it careless but I don’t see it as a dog whistle for hatred.
@celesterstewart @TheDixonWhite If you’re truly offended by the song or video, you have that right. But let it be on your terms. This guy is regurgitating things that someone specifically researched to make the song racist. If you knew about the courthouse history before and find it racist , fine.
@celesterstewart @TheDixonWhite They superimpose images onto the courthouse as if it were in flames to demonstrate that the institutions of law and order are failing. If they focused on the second story window…I may buy into that.
@celesterstewart @TheDixonWhite OK. The KKK has been notoriously a democrat society. Aldean is not a democrat. I’m don’t give 2 shits about him but if we’re going to tear apart his song then let’s look at every song. Let’s dissect wvwry single lyric of all songs. Let’s break apart every video.
@celesterstewart @TheDixonWhite I corrected my statement to say 1927. I’m glad you took it literal. And if we want to look for every atrocity committed against people at certain sites let’s talk about the streets of Chicago, New York…where present day people are killed for no reason. Let’s ban those places
@ThePhoton_2023 @FluteMagician@NW_StayDet 😆 I’m sorry. You mistook my politeness. I can rephrase. We disagree. You won’t change my mind. I won’t change your mind. You may fuck off now.
@FluteMagician@NW_StayDet If you think this song promotes any more violence than half the current rap songs on the radio today…that’s astounding. If anyone looks hard enough into anything g they can find something to diminish it. I’m just going to wish you well. Think what you want.
@ThePhoton_2023 @NW_StayDet 142 to do what? Dislike my comment? I’m saying the guy is a grifter. If they don’t like that…oh well. Dude is in it for likes and follows. Please. I called out his BS. What are they going to do ban me for free speech? Wouldn’t be the first time.
@shewanders2@TheDixonWhite Fun fact…Portland & Seattle still burned. Fun fact…the vast majority of BLM & ANTIFA protesters walked away without consequences. Fun fact…most of the JAN 6 “insurrectionists” have been charged with trespassing and nothing more. Try harder.
@PhillC1003@TheDixonWhite 1) Small towns: everyone knows everyone and people see everything. You’re more likely to be arrested in a small town. 2) Look at the posts on his timeline; self-deprecating himself
For being “white”. He’s apologizing for Aldean’s song while condemning it. That’s not his job.
