First of all, here are the lyrics to Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town”
The first question we must ask is “what, specifically, is the ‘that’ that Aldean is requesting we try?”
“Sucker punch[ing] somebody on a sidewalk” appears to reference the “Knockout Game,” a group activity where rabid negroes randomly clock white ppl upside the head
But here’s the thing about the “knockout game,”
It’s just something white people made up.
Let’s be clear: there are people who sucker punch people, which is wrong. But the notion that negroes enjoy committing random acts of violence against whites… npr.org/sections/codes…
Is actually an American tradition. In the 1980s, it was called “wilding.” During the civil rights era GOP Sen. & VP candidate William Miller coined a phrase to demonize ppl who believed civil rights protesters were nonviolent & not attacking brave police officers:
“Soft on crime”
The idea has justified lynchings for more than a century. Remember, the event that turned Ida B Wells into America’s biggest anti-lynching crusader started with the accusation that a Black kid sucker punched a white boy as they played marbles
To be fair, it’s possible Aldean wasn’t talking about Black people. You know who sucker punch more people than rabid negro thugs?
Cops
We talk about police killings but what about the people who survive?
41% are punched or manhandled. Black males are 2x likely to be shot by cops but 5x to be punched
So either Jason Aldean was fueling a racist conspiracy theory about or he was telling the truth & he doesn’t want cops in his small town
But wait… There’s more
Who’s carjacking people?
This one’s easy. Most car thieves (61%)are white but most carjackers (56%) are Black. He doesn’t care about cars being stolen, Jason should actually be applauded for caring about black people. You know why?
White people don’t really get carjacked
Whew!
Again, Jason isn’t worrying about business owner getting money stolen, he’s only worried about crimes black people commit
The VAST MAJORITY (76%) of business losses due to crime is caused by embezzlement & forgery.
52% of embezzlers are WHITE WOMEN (shocked me too!)
But who are these people Jason claims to protect and love so much in the small rural town he’s protecting with his granddaddy’s gun?
White people
But what happens to these thugs in small towns?
Jason wouldn’t call the police on these criminals (remember, they be punching people).
Jason wouldn’t make a citizens arrest
He mentions his granddaddy’s guns & says he has “good ol boys ready to fight)
Sounds like a lynch mob
But some people would disagree. Now, for 250 years, Black people have been fighting for a lynching law. Those activists had 4 criteria that defined a lynching:
1. It had to be extrajudicial 2. It had to be done by 3 or more ppl 3. It had to public
But here’s the thing:
A lynching is not just a hanging. In fact, a lynching isn’t always a murder. Many people survived lynchings. But even when the attempt was unsuccessful the ACTION was still a lynching.
But since Congress finally passed a lynching law, let’s see the official definition
“If death or serious bodily injury…results from the offense”
Legally it is a lynching
Police be lynching
Mobs be lynching
Racist white people be lynching
America be lynching
But not Jason Aldean
Jason Aldean just made a lynching carol for racist white people in America

1. The Home homeownership thing? It’s the biggest determinant of wealth in America. 3 out of every 4 white households own their home. It has never been above 50%. Black people are charged higher mortgage rates than whites with the same credit.

The DOJ has settled lawsuits against every single 1 of the 5 biggest banks in America for discriminating against nonwhite borrowers. A home in a Black neighborhood is undervalued by $48k vs a home in a white hood with same crime, rate, resources etc
This is Whitekanda, an area was created by a race war, white fear, the prospect of an all-Black state, stealing land from indigenous people & one of the greatest real estate scams of all time.
First, American exceptionalism makes us believe that the British colonized the place we call America but that’s not really true. Before America was born, France technically had more property in North America than the British.
But everyone was down with slavery
In 1791, enslaved Black people in French-controlled Haiti jumped off the large successful slave revolt in the history of the planet.
Long story short: they won
Not only did France leave, they said “Fuck this New World shit,” had a fire sale & left the ENTIRE HEMISPHERE
First of all, let’s get this out of the way. Almost every form of popular music & art created by Black Americans.
But it wasn’t just art, it was part of a cultural tradition.
Gospel music wasn’t just Black people singing songs about Jesus, it was a form of communication
It was literally how they learned to speak the language and preserve their history. It was instructions for escaping slavery and the first Google Calendar
How do you plan a revolt or spread the word of resistance or worship when your god is outlawed?
Cotton Mather, a Harvard grad who got in through affirmative action (his daddy was president) writes a letter after he finished drowning witches. His enslaved man Onesimus, told him how to conduct a medical procedure that he had seen work on 3 continents.
Mather was like: Yeah right, youre just slave."
Mather told his doctor. His doctor said "yeah right, you're just a slave."
Mather wrote another white man across the ocean, who affirmed that people around the world (except white people) knew about this "inoculation" procedure.
The problem with Nikki Haley is not that she is a woman or a 1st generation immigrant or even conservative. It’s how her hypocritical use of these weaponized racist dog whistles.
For instance, Nikki Haley supported tuition vouchers and tax credits for school choice and thinks that governors should refuse funding for schools that talk about race teaches students to act like victims.
Damn, she’s brilliant!
See, to understand the origin the idea of using tax credits and vouchers school choice, you gotta know CRT!
You gotta talk about race!
See, for most of its existence, SC was majority Black. After the civil war, SC had to rewrite the state constitution to become part of AMERICA
