Jason Aldean accused of promoting LYNCHING and RACISM in a song with ZERO race-related lyrics

CMT removed Jason Aldean’s recent release “Try That in a Small Town” after the song sparked mass controversy because of its alleged promotion of lynching and racism.

Granted the lyrics have zero mention of race and the music video focuses almost exclusively on white people committing crimes, how are the wokeists justifying their accusations?

“Apparently the video was filmed in front of a courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where a white mob lynched a young black man, Henry Choate, from the building in 1927,” Sara Gonzales explains.

Aldean “must be a history expert,” she adds sarcastically.

A closer analysis of the lyrics and music video will reveal that the song actually speaks out against left-wing rioting, violence against law enforcement, gun control, and soft-on-crime approaches.

“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,” Aldean said in a statement following the scrutiny.

While Sara thinks Aldean’s defense of his song is certainly justified, Jason Buttrill thinks that the only thing the country star owes to the people vilifying his song is a big “suck it.”

“They want you to capitulate in front of the entire world stage” Jason says, “and it doesn’t matter if you do, because they won’t accept your capitulation” anyway.

Regardless, it appears that millions of non-woke fans are rallying to support Aldean and his song. Despite being pulled by CMT, “Try That in a Small Town” has hit #1 on the iTunes charts, surpassing Taylor Swift and K-pop stars alike.

Perhaps Aldean owes a thank you to all his critics, then?

“The appropriate response [is] ‘thanks for making me a ton of money and making me #1 on the charts,'” Rob Eno says.
