Picking the court house for his music video might not have been the best choice, given its dark past. Edit: Plus the "American BLM protests" shown in the MV are actually from a German music festival, the Toronto G20 Summit protests, and some Hungarian stock footage. The intensions for the mv wasn’t good. So is he? Probably.

@Puppycat23 And glorifying violence may not have been the smartest move, given that he was literally on the stage when the Las Vegas shooter opened fire on the crowd in front of him, killing 59 and wounding over 500.

@windinhishair Oh, so that was him on that stage. I did not know that. Weird for him to glorify violence after witnessing a tragedy unfold.

Jason was not part of the location decision - that was filmography who probably never considered looking into long ago history of the site - it just looked good. I think you are nit picking just to call someone racist.

@Puppycat23 Completely oblivious to the consequences of a violent, racist song.

@Budwick It’s common knowledge among blacks that lynchings took place outside the courthouse, that’s the case all over the South. If filmography didn’t know that, then that would be an example of white privilege.

Horse shit. Your tension over this non issue is an example black over sensitivity.

@Budwick It can’t be said that no one in production didn’t know about the court house’s history. Someone may have known the court’s history already, while others may have done research.

@Puppycat23 Sure it can. I just did.
Puppycat23 · F
@Budwick Yeah, you just did. But you weren’t apart of the production team who went to the courthouse in preparation for the music video who may have known about it first.
