Let's take a look at the lyrics. We will start with the constantly recurring refrain. Well, try that in a small town See how far ya make it down the road Around here, we take care of our own 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 Keeping in mind that "our own" is traditional Klan language for white people.
Yep, most of the scenes showing rioters are stock footage filmed outside the U.S. This song by Jason Aldean is nothing more than the new theme song for the Klan. Jason Aldean's Claim About 'Small Town' Debunked in Viral Video https://www.rawstory.com/chris-christie-calls-donald-trump-con-artist/ An activist and writer has issued a brutal takedown of Jason Aldean amid the controversy surrounding his new song, "Try That in a Small Town". The country music singer, 46, released the divisive tune and its music video this week, which some people have called racist and an incitement to violence. Detractors said the song had "very scary lyrics," while others added some of the video was filmed on the steps of a Tennessee courthouse where a mob lynched a Black man in 1927. Aldean sings about the good things of small-town life. It includes lyrics such as, if somebody "cross[es] that line," to "cuss out a cop, spit in his face" or "stomp on the flag and light it up," to "try that in a small town." Other lyrics include: "Now it's true that I am ignorant on most of this, a couple folks for some reason called me a bigot," and, "Better never, ever let the sun go down... or the guns come out." Aldean has denied his song is problematic. He wrote on Twitter on Tuesday that "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." But activist and TikTok star Destinee Stark dissected Aldean's words in a eight-minute video on the social-media platform. Stark found that Aldean's comments about using real news footage to prove his point about the lack of safety in big cities was not entirely true. Some of his song's video was constructed from stock footage shot in countries such as Germany and Bulgaria. "I'm here to tell you that is complete bull****," Stark said in the TikTok video that has been viewed 1.4 million people. "In fact, he uses multiple clips in the first 30 seconds of the video that are either fake, or didn't even happen in America." Stark gives one example of a clip of a person giving the middle finger to some riot police on the street. The influencer added that the officers' helmets did not seem from the U.S. "I've never seen American police wear a helmet with the duck tail thing on the back," Stark said, before citing other examples of other things in the music video that did not seem American. Stark added that the clip was "actually video from stock video footage that is for sale on stock sites," including Shuttershock. Another clip from Aldean's video showed someone throwing a Molotov cocktail and was also stock footage, "but that's not all... it's from a controlled commercial video shoot for the sole purpose of stock footage." Stark said that the clip was also not American, but from Bulgaria. Newsweek contacted Aldean's representatives by email for comment about Stark's claims. We also emailed Stark for comment about the research and findings. Stark also found that a third example of footage that Aldean said came from within the U.S. but it was another stock video available for purchase. "His cult followers can keep coming to my account, giving me engagement and hate, and I'll just keep giving you facts," Stark added.
Who really cares where the video comes from or what you think it might be about? It is a great song and lots and lots and lots of people like it. Hope you never need the help of people in a small town.
1. What is the definition of a KKK member? 2. How many KKK members do you think there are? 3. Do you even know what KKK stands for? Lots and lots and lots of people like Jason Aldean
So... an entire arena full of Klan members cheering Jason Aldean on. Pretty much underlines the point. You know who else had crowds changing "USA, USA, USA". Indicted criminal Trump. It's well known that MAGA strongly intersects with KKK, neo-Nazis, and white supremacy.
1. You do not know what KKK stands for. 2. You do not know how many members of the KKK there are. 3. ***What is the agenda of the KKK? At first I was impressed that you might know something. My bad. 4. Do you know the definition of any words you use - KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacy? I wish you knew something.
Historian Eric Foner observed: "In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party, the planter class, and all those who desired restoration of white supremacy. Its purposes were political, but political in the broadest sense, for it sought to affect power relations, both public and private, throughout Southern society. It aimed to reverse the interlocking changes sweeping over the South during Reconstruction: to destroy the Republican party's infrastructure, undermine the Reconstruction state, reestablish control of the Black labor force, and restore racial subordination in every aspect of Southern life.[137] To that end they worked to curb the education, economic advancement, voting rights, and right to keep and bear arms of Black people.[137] The Klan soon spread into nearly every Southern state, launching a reign of terror against Republican leaders both Black and white. Those political leaders assassinated during the campaign included Arkansas Congressman James M. Hinds, three members of the South Carolina legislature, and several men who served in constitutional conventions
