Yes.  And they are the same people who know and support what the song is about, but are too cowardly to admit it.  

So you're saying they are auto-tuner salesmen?

Maybe pick someplace different.  How about a place where 1) most likely there's never been a lynching, and 2) is actually the most sacred community gathering space?

That's right, if you want to capture the essence of southern small town community, shoot the video in front of the WAFFLE HOUSE.

FIFY

Vermont, as just one example, is full of small towns with landmarks that don't have a history tied to lynching black people.

This post reminded me of this:

Some of us live in small towns, so yes, we’re bored.

The funny thing is the person that posted it most likely hates Cardi B music.

Somehow, we're all always a little surprised about who will come out of the woodworks to defend blatant racism.

Saw Anne Murray there probably 7-8 times.
My dad was a BIG Anne Murray fan.
Also saw Clint Black with my future wife. The lineup these days looks like a lot of crap bro country.

Not that into the Cardi B version but Ben Shapiro's reading of WAP was one of the greatest cultural events of the decade.

How's that for a shitty music take?

She was and they were. In addition to being a racist, at one point she got on shaggy and talked about how she wasn't going any further than edging and "panty play" (whatever that means, I  just like the classics) with her husband because he needed to be sharp and focused for work.

Husband iirc was Frogstyle. He was a good poster and would call her out online when she would have a particularly nutty rant.  I think he was seriously injured overseas not sure if active duty or a contractor
 

I believe one classic thread was where a poster made a critique on the type of woman who had only male friends and she went on basically proving all the poster’s points in her subsequent ramblings

 

somehow some pics from her college days  got posted and yes she was hot back in the day at least

 

for some reason I recall GOLL saying she literally tried to run him over one time while he was on his scooter

That's right. I met him in person the night of the infamous El Arroyo jello shots/make-a-wish foundation incident. He seemed like a good guy.

I was pretty mortified to have to witness Eric Church open for Robert Earl Keen during his second-to-last show at Floore's Country Store last September. It went James McMurtry (fuck yeah)-Eric Church (fuck you)-REK (greatness). A buddy of my wife's and I mercilessly mocked Church's set. He wore aviator sunglasses on stage in the rain. My wife said he apparently has some dry eye issue to where he has to wear shades on stage. Clown.

A few years ago, Brisket and I were well into a bottle of whiskey and came up with the Chinese Restaurant name generator. You got your choice of a an adjective, a place in China, and/or an animal. Happy Dragon, Hunan Lion, etc. We could probably adjust the code to spit out country lyrics. 

There is a formula: alcohol, truck / farm equipment, fishing and/or hunting, critters, women, articles of clothing on women, names of cities/states (preferably in the South), dirt/mud, bodies of water. Those elements make Bro Country. It’s predictable and terrible.

If you want a good demonstration of how banal, homogeneous, and unimaginative country music has become, I offer this--

I suppose now this could be updated to throw in a few racist dog whistles.

Was he the dude that wrote the hilarious story about being out in Dallas one night?  The only thing I can recall about it is a line about being the only armed man at a Deep Ellum party, or something like that.  I think it was all the way back in the hornfans.com days.

I imagine that to people who have never actually encountered one, they could be a tad frightening.

I wish I remembered more specifically what it was but there was a post from Rocko at some point indicating that he wasn't aware of the moistening effect that arousal has on vaginas. It could have been bedouin but the feeling I have associated with that memory is pity rather than terror so I believe it was Rocko.

 

I'm not a bro country guy at all but my gf/fiance/wife and I went to the rodeo a few years in a row before pandemic and then moving. Luke Bryan at least put on a good show, the next year I got more influence in picking and we settled on Brad Paisley. I don't love his songwriting but I'd watch him play guitar at any opportunity.

They’re the middle mass, the embodied entitlement that one inherits when they come from a legacy of settler colonialism, slave trading, and evangelical purity culture that justified genocide.

This is just dumb

name a society in human history or prehistory that did not expand and migrate based on population and need for resources. The only things that have ever checked human expansion are natural physical barriers, communicable disease, and other humans better adept at waging war than they were. 
 

chattel slavery of course was not practiced in all societies, but subjugation and servitude of captives was ubiquitous as was genocide

i cannot think of any where priests were not part of the ruling class, and the people were not convinced that what they were doing was right in the eyes of their god(s)

 

 

Also was Alan Jackson the father of bro country? Seems like Way Down Yonder on the Chattahoochee started it all
