"Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like

Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough

Well, try that in a small town

Got a gun that my granddad gave me

@foldedunfolding

Where he filmed the music video.

News outlets like the New York Times pointed out that is the same site where a Black teenager was lynched in 1927. Henry Choate, 18, was accused of assaulting a white 16-year-old girl. He was jailed: however, a mob of hundreds of white men grabbed him from his cell. He was then tied to the back of a car and dragged across town before he was eventually hanged in front of the courthouse.

The lyrics and the location of the video make him and absolute racist and this man deserves to be cancelled.

@iamonfire696 look at the wrinkly-skinned old bag, yet relentlessly smooth-brained, sunsporter going back and forth with me

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@foldedunfolding Good call because he’s a racist conservative who is blinded by cognitive dissonance.

@iamonfire696 @foldedunfolding
There’s been a lot of videos and movies filmed there over the years including “A Nashville Country Christmas” and the “Hannah Montana- the Movie”. It’s a popular spot for filming and photos outside of Nashville. Unfortunately you can go to many rural county courthouses across the south where horrible things were done in the past but that doesn’t mean those acts are reflective of the artists who film there today. And of note a production company chooses the locations not the actors or artists.

@JesseInTX He could very well refuse to film the video there. But since they removed the scene depicting Fox 5 news coverage of a BLM protest in Atlanta that was projected on a Tennessee courthouse which was the location of the 1927 lynching.

That tells me he knows he’s done wrong and is only changing the music video because he’s been called out for it. Why would that scene need to be projected on the courthouse? What for?

@JesseInTX not to mention the fact that this follows him dressing in blackface for halloween
JesseInTX · 51-55, M
@iamonfire696 again a production company and a director, just like in a movie, chooses local and edits. Let me ask a question, and this isn’t meant to be offensive, but before this video was made did you have any idea of the history of the Murray County Courthouse? Any idea of who Henry Choate was?
JesseInTX · 51-55, M
@foldedunfolding so what do you say about Joy Behar, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Justin Trudeau, Robert Downey Jr, Fred Armisen, Ralph Northman, Ted Danson?
