texanfan27 07/26/23 9:25:30 AM #70:	Most country music isnt racist, though there are some (hank Williams Jr sadly is on that list and grew up listening to him). Most modern sadly does suck as well, cause most of it doesnt have the heart behind it, there is no substance. Ive gotten to the point where I feel most the other songs on the CDs that dont become hits are better than their radio releases. And Im wonder how someone could say waiting on a woman by brad paisley is sexist, when the whole song is about how waiting on her is always worth it. Honestly Im more surprised Im still a guy doesnt get more flack though. And hes one my go to artists. --- I'm a ? Block.

Chrknu 07/26/23 1:35:18 PM #73:	KanWan posted... Snoop and Willie Nelson hang out a bunch The "I have a black friend" defence is handled, then ;) Nah, just kidding. I actually had to research Willie Nelson after I saw this topic, because I listen to him. Apparently the song Beer for my Horses with Toby Keith has been drawn into the discussion about racist songs because of these lyrics: Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son A man had to answer for the wicked that he done *Take all the rope in Texas find a tall oak tree* *Round up all them bad boys, hang them high in the street* *For all the people to see* & *We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds* *Too much corruption, and crime in the streets* *It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground* Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down You can bet he'll set 'em down Willie Nelson responds to the allegations that there were no racism implications from their side and that he wouldn't have joined the song if there was. I choose to believe him :) When I hear this song I just imagine old western movies and stuff from Red Dead Redemption, where it's basically white guys getting hanged, so I never thought that it could be construed as racist. Just reflecting on it now, if it was an artist that had a racist history, I could totally see this being something to be wary of. I think it's important to look at history of the artist to understand the possible intentions. I don't think Willie fits the description for it to be a racist dog whistle. --- Hell is not a place you go if you're not a Christian, it's the failure of your life's greatest ambition -Immortal Technique <cite>Chrknu posted [p:975077356] in So it turn...
