      I don’t remember if he was explicitly racist but he definitely stoked shit with his post-911 songs.

      You can say that about all pop country artists and have a pretty good chance at being right

      No. He did suck, however.

      The overtly racist one is Jason Aldean.

        His most popular songs are all about American soldiers killing Muslims. He was a massive racist.

          Well, shit.

            The ‘Try that in a Small Town’ guy is basically “Mom can we have fascism abroad?”

            “We have fascism at home, sweetie.”
