    Well I don’t think he meant anything other than that he probably agrees with the lyrics. Four people wrote the song and he’s not one of the songwriters. Also he’s not from a small town.

      Why the fuck would he knowingly sing something he would know would cost him his reputation?

      Answer: he knows the song is racist and agrees with the message.

        Because he’s going to gain a large following amount the core base of die hard modern country music listeners. The people who are (rightfully) upset about it weren’t listening to him anyway.

          🤦 I keep forgetting no one cares anymore and the U.S. is split up into factions. All the more reason for the left to arm themselves, I guess.

            This isn’t really a new thing. Take the Dixie Chicks for example.

            Not that I disagree with the second part, at all.
