See a lot of rioting in small towns, do you? No, you don’t. Because nobody wants to go there, anyway. This is nothing but a racist dog whistle. A loud one.
In the small towns we r all close we see everyone as friends/family so u f**k with one ur going to get everyone ones haven a hard time with making it we come together an try and help out
Some of that images in there they think Jason Aldean is racist but let me tell you something happen somebody be racist if his wife Brittany Aldean invited Candace Owens her and her her husband to their house braces is when somebody don't like a certain color and those fools right there they're freaking ignorant I don't agree with that shiZ there may be racism from some white people I don't know and may not be it might be but I'm not one of them I love my sisters and brothers we were made in his image for God's children
If I see ANYONE mess with my buddy who is black, I will not hesitate to take care of THEM, because he is one of our own. That's the point! He would have my back in a heartbeat. We always say "Love you brother, no matter the color."
It's not about the cops. It's about violence and our choice to not accept it. We are all a community. We are all brothers and sisters on this planet and we have to look out for our own, meaning all of us. Race, creed, nationality, gender, political standing, etc. Non of that matters. We are all connected and we need to end the violence. That starts at home with educating our kids and raising them without hate in their hearts.
“Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk, carjack an old lady at a red light! Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store, you think it’s cool? Well act a fool if you like! Cuss at a cop, spit in his face, stomp on the flag, and light it up! Yeah, you think you’re tough? Well, try that in a small town, see how far you make it down the road! Around here, we take care of our own you cross that line, it won’t take long for you to find out! I recommend you don’t… try that in a small town!” it’s not a threat, it’s a promise!! I STAND WITH JASON!! Boycott CMT for pulling his video!!
Small towns take care of each other no matter what race color or creed. Neighbors helping neighbors and respecting and loving America and all its colors Its against acting the fool and destroying property and violence in general.
1st time seeing this for me. Thanks for putting it out here. I don't think black people are the only rioters, looters, criminals, or disrespectful people. I think the video showed that. Race doesn't determine how you act, you do. Glad to know some folks are speaking out against all the violence and disrespect. We should judge people by their actions.
There is no subspecies of human, therefor no races. This is 2nd grade science, at 9/10 elementary schools in the country. When someone feels a type of way about a groups beliefs, or someones skin color, or religion, or choice.... its called being prejudice. The reason why media replaced the word prejudice with racism is because calling someone a prejudicier doesnt have any impact, it doesnt incite anything. But calling someone a racist, does. This was actually researched. This happened in the 80's, and born in the 7th-8th US Census after slavery ended when the skin color column changed to race. It's a way to hide ones own prejudice, by claiming it's something else. In fact, its why we see it so frequently projected. Whoever claims racism, would likely not be able to complete a 2nd grade book report. Its that simple. You are correct. Judge people by the content of their character.
‘His kind’ represents anyone who is a law abiding citizen who loves and protects his family and community. It has nothing to do with race. Maybe listen again?
1. No small town is completely white and small towns people with different skin color see it the same way as Jason Aldean, you are welcome to convince yourself of that and ask some there yourself if you don't believe me. 2. We see a white female who spits in a cops face (minute 0:32- 033) during a blonde one shows her middle finger to the police (minute 0:27- 0:28) and the warning goes to these people too! CONCLUSION: When it's racist for a white men to warn black AND WHITE criminals to do this in a small town, then, by implication, you have to to support these riots to be not racist, just think about it.
When he says, “take care of our own” he is talking about the community as a whole. Taking care of each other. Being respectful to each other, helping each other out. Keeping the community safe. Not just taking care of white people. Geezzzzzz
Jason is from Georgia where the state of emergency was. I don’t know when I don’t watch the news. But this video was shot in Columbia Tennessee, which is where Jason currently lives with his wife and family. That’s a courthouse with the flag hanging off of it which is one of the oldest structures in Columbia. People are trying to say that because of the lynching against Black people at this courthouse took place back in the 1920s that Jason intentionally shot the video there as a subliminal message supporting lynching, which is absolutely and utterly absurd. He simply shot the video there because it’s a monumental landmark in his hometown, and he doesn’t like to travel far away from his family when he works when he can avoid it because of the touring that he usually does.
It’s not about going against cops. It’s about the outrageous violence that is going on in our country. In a small town every one knows everyone. We are all neighbors and if you go after us we will fight back. We have each others backs and will, help our neighbor in need regardless of color, religion or politics.
I didn't know Jason Aldean until this recent controversy and after I listened to one of his other hit songs "Dirt Road Anthem" today and then it all the noise just made sense. This man is probably invited to everybody's cookout.
Did you even see the white guy spinning in the cops face? This song isn't about race it's about people creating havoc in your town. He's saying don't try this in a small town cuz we will straighten it out ourselves. It has nothing to do with black white purple and has to do with people acted like fools and that small towns would not take this.
We probably don’t have 10 cops total on our little force out here. Buncha troublemakers show up, and race don’t matter, we gonna have to help out. Dat’s all. Aint nothin about one particular group or another, we got plenty of races out here and we all look out for each other.👍 Thanks y’all! Good reaction.
We got 2 cops. Open carry state. I’ll support and stand beside any of my neighbors! And I’ve only been here 5 years maybe. But no one else is coming to help.🤷♂️💪
It’s about family and community standing together against all the shit that goes on in the big cities. If you try that in a small town the whole town will stop that real quick
He's basically saying FAFO. He's saying don't bring that madness and chaos to his town - crime, riots etc. because they value their homes, businesses and community and stand up for one another. Everyone knows one another: the people, the police, the firefighters, are close and the men in those towns don't allow any degeneracy. Most times, there are male leaders in the town who quickly put an end to nonsense, so they never even need to call the police. In the cities, people have very little in common and don't have a shared set of values. Many people don't feel a sense of community, so they don't respect where they live.
no, what he is saying is our community wouldn't allow you to spit in someones face, that is assault and against the law, we have more respect for each other that to do stupid things like that. et me put it in perspective, he is saying that you can pull that nonsense in cities where police and people won't put a stop to your lawlessness, in small towns and some cities people don't play that, if you come to rob us, shoot us, burn down our businesses we will put a stop to that shit fast, because we aren't the police that will stand there and do nothing. As far as the gun comment his grandad gave him, they say they're going to round them up, meaning government wants to take our guns, and he is saying you aren't taking our guns. Not racist in anyway,, people crying racist are making the assumption that black people are the only people that commit crimes, loot steal and shoot people, just thinking such a thing is the definition of racism, so the ones crying racist are actually the real racists. The majority of black people and all races actually support the song and are sick of this false racism shit, and people not being punished for constantly breaking laws. The people that seem to be screaming the loudest are WHITE LIBERALS. He is basically saying don't come here acting a fool and trying and hurt our community, is basically telling criminals to fuck around and find out in a small town because we take care of our shit and our own regardless of color, we are a family, regardless what color you are, And you don't mess with family.
Small towns are tight communities where every one goes to the same schools and houses of worship. Generations may live there. You are considered neighbors and stick up for one another reguardless of race. or religion. We will not tolerate violence against others and stick up for one another. I am proud to say I grew up on a dairy farm and went to school in a small town.
HI..Taking care of my own in a small town means all the people in that community. It does not matter if your black, white Native ..ect... if you live in that community you will be protected. That's how they take care of there own and that includes everyone..much love to yall..
Enjoyed your reaction very much. A coupla counter points. 1) Small towns don't have a large urban police force. Most residents are armed because they HAVE to be. When they are in danger, there is no such thing as immediate help. You're on your own to defend your family and your neighbors if you can. People may care more because its easier to know people in a smaller community. This video is pro community, anti violence, anti-anarchy and anti-lawlessness. It seems some people are OK with that, but not in "small towns." 2) If you see ray-cism in this video your imagination put it there. I challenge you to find a single image of any clearly identifiable POC. I think Jason purposely edited his footage to avoid any reason to make a claim of bigotry. It's about defending your own community when danger comes close to home. (Even the liquor store robber is covered head to toe so that skin tone and hair features are impossible to determine.) The only identifiable faces causing trouble are white. 3) last point. some people claim its pro l-y-n-c-hing because it was filmed in front of a courthouse where one occurred...over a hundred years ago. So was the Hannah Montana movie with Miley Cyrus. Booker T. Washington warned us years ago about people who profit more from dividing us than uniting us. That's why, after viewing at least 50 reaction videos of this song, at least 90 % of the black content creators I've seen have not bitten the race bait. I am pleased to see so many black people see through the lies that they've been told by some. As Jussie Smollett proved, "The demand for racism now exceeds the supply so it must be invented." Even Rodney King graciously said after the LA riots and his cop beat-down that started them, "Can't we all just get along?" Amen, Rodney and RIP.
It is not being on the side of the cop, nor against the cops, it is not even a white/black thing. Yeah he said "good ole boys", that actually refers to southern guys, no color of skin does not matter. "We take care of our own", states the mentality of a small town. Color has zero to do with that. I have lived in a small town. Antifa thought they were going to roll through to another small town and riot at their country court house. The county cops and state police escorted them back to California as they would not have made it through the town. I got home from work, and at the church near the neighborhood I lived in there were about 60 people, white, black, hispanic, and asian, all with firearms waiting for antifa to try and roll through. We heard over police scanners that the police escorted them back to where they came from. The night before antifa rolled in while the town was in for the night and put graffiti up all over the place and destroyed somethings. People were seriously pissed off. This song is about how a small town can, and does come together despite differences. Which is what we all need to get back to and drop this racism BS.
Like others said, it's not about the cops. It's about crime and violence that isn't tolerated in small towns. It's about respect and standing up for your neighbor. It's too bad you didn't watch the longer version of this video. It drives home this message more. It's kind of like the in-color footage from Yuma. 3 armed men came into a convenient store to rob the place, not expecting a marine to be standing there who disarms them (and detains them until police arrive - part not seen in video clip) As for a couple of things you said, only 3 pieces of riot footage were from the US (2 were George Floyd related). Most of them were from Europe and Canada. The robberies were US. So it's clear he's pointing out the violence and disrespect that doesn't fly in a small town. Also, most small towns could care less what color you are and there are all colors in small towns.
No, it's not all about cops! It's about all the violence and crimes that were "allowed" to happen in cities, that would NOT be allowed to happen in small towns. Small towns have all kinds, all races, etc...He is talking about the unity and community of small towns, as compared to the divides in the cities. The backgrounds you saw were PUBLISHED incident of violence, destruction of property, attacks on cops, crimes, etc...He is saying to leave that all right there IN the cities, and don't even try to bring it to our small towns, as we won't put up with it! There is NO mention of color, black or white. It is NOT racist in the least, although the far left liberals are trying to portray it that way to get him silenced.
I think he's saying don't bring that mess into our little community. We're tightknit. Don't think what others say about it is true just because they said it. BTW, I didn't see a bunch of black people in this video....white. AND, I'm white
First of all, he said absolutely nothing about race, so you guys saying that it’s blacks against whites that’s kind of a racist thing to say when he never mentioned race one time he never mention feud against white against blacks, so I think you guys should check yourself a little bit. This song was about the riots with BLM and antifa destroying cities, and all he saying is try that in a small town where that shit is not gonna fly small towns consist of white blacks, Hispanics, Chinese, and all the other races that will not fly in any small town noticed how BLM and antifa never went to a small town🤷🏻♂️
The problem with America is everyone thinking that everything is black people vs police. This video is just talking about the violent riots. Do you think that violence is a good way to achieve political goals? The fact that you guys saw racism in this song means that you are racist. People like you just need to change the way you look at things.
Small town that helps each other in need regardless of race, religion or gender. It can even stand for the same for a big city neighborhood, looking out for each other. 💪🇺🇲💕
Take care of our own is saying in a small town everyone is treated like family... and he’s not saying anything about people of color.. he’s saying anybody comes around here doing that shit won’t be tolerated.. in the words of Lil Jon “don’t start no shit there won’t be no shit”
I'm from a very small town. If you're in trouble we all come to help because we're neighbors. Doesn't matter what you look like or believe. We lookout for one another. 🇺🇲
I wss born and raised in a small town and worked in the inner city as a fireman of 23 years , and believe it or not there were alot of small neighborhoods in the city. We all got along and we all protectied all . We here in a small town take care of anyone that lives in our neighborhood. Doesn't mean one color. We take care of everyone here.
Each take care of your own. He's town, his people that live in. Different folks, all type of folks live in a small town. He's against the non sense chaos (violence) that goes on in a big town. Saying you won't get away with that in a small town. They take care of their own, (no matter color or race). This has nothing to do with color or race.
My favorite part is the convenient store with the armed robber coming in and getting knock back out the door. "Raised up right" = zero toleration for dangerouse criminal activity. Hard working folks dont want rioting and violence in their communities. It kinda gets in the way of living the American lifestyle that consists of gauranteed freedom, life, and the right to pursue happiness. Thats what this song is about.
I ve lived in a big city and a small town. There is definitely a culture difference. It’s not a racial thing, it’s how we interact and look out for one another. Criminals and lawless behavior happens in bigger cities because you Caan be more anonymous and no one knows who you are. In small town we are much more open to people and we know our neighbors. We have each others backs and are not gonna let people tear up businesses and the community. The message is simple, small towns may be overlooked and dismissed by urban centers, but we won’t let anyone tear down our communities. If you’re part of our community we have your back.
I have been in law enforcement for 33 years. When you say the "opposite" side, there are no sides. This song is nothing about race. if you look at the video there are all races. if you watched the video till the end you would see what the song is about. in small towns we take care of each other. The song also is about the 2nd amendment. when he says my grandfather gave me a gun, and they say they are going to round them up. I live in a small town, work in the city, I have black neighbors. we look out for each other. that is what the song is about.
this song represents being a true American! Burning the flag, looting, rioting, sucker punching old women, car jackings; robberies, all unAmerican, come try this in a small town bcuz dat chit don't fly in a small town, as Americans, we take care of our own, meaning, we all are neighbors. friends and family round here and we will protect whats ours and as American we will fight for whats right! dont come round here being invasive tearing things up! its about being civil patriots loving and protecting family, friends, and neighbors! 1LUV
I live in an extremely small town in Ohio to the point where it's actually considered a village. If you lived in our town you would definitely be considered part of that "our." We actually had some protesters a few years ago come in on a bus. The townspeople just lined up on the sides of the street while the protesters walked. At the end of the day a lot of people shaked hands and the protesters got back on the bus and left. It was actually pretty cool man. I view the song strictly speaking about criminals committing crime. Peaceful protesters will always be welcome in my town!
“Around here we take care of our own . . .” Many of these social uprisings destroyed local businesses in the very neighborhoods the rioters were claiming to be standing up for. We have a Constitutionally protected, God-given right to protest in this country BUT destroying property, burning cop cars, blocking freeway traffic are NOT protected activities. The message of the song is that destructive behavior won’t fly in small towns. The businesses and property and people in small towns stick together to push back.
Generally speaking, small town communities will "take care of their own," regardless of skin color, because they all know each other and feel more like family.
I'm from a small town in Georgia. My people would drop our stuff to help out anybody. We are sick of the shit going on in big cities across the country.
There’s nothing racist about this song. His message is about the lawlessness that was going on in the major cities around the country. To interpret; the people of the small towns (no matter their color or background) around the country stick together and take care of their own (meaning the people ALL PEOPLE of that town) would band together to help each other fight back against the agitators.
It’s all about RIGHT and WRONG ! You don’t sucker punch an old lady on a sidewalk… you don’t hijack a car at a red light … you don’t stomp on the American flag… you don’t spit in a cops face .. you don’t burn down buildings… when he says they take care of their own, he means in a small town you take care of your own residents , regardless of the color , age , or sex. . If you are a good, law abiding citizen the town residents will not let these things happen to you , like they may in a large city ..they are true law abiding Americans !
Small town = tight community no matter the color. Everyone knows everything about everyone. Most of those riots that happenedConsisted of people from different states not just that one state or that one area. The saying try that in a small town don’t bring that hatred that anger to burn down a community,peoples livelihoods. In a small town that shit won’t be tolerated.
It’s a song about how people in small towns are close and protect each other. His own are everyone in a small town. He didn’t say anything racist in the song
The song simply says that riots, burning, and looting will not be tolerated in a small town. Everyone know each other and will stick together to help each other. It has nothing to do with race. Just don't bring that shit to a small town because it won't be tolerated like it is in the cities.
This isn’t about race. He was just showing what was and is happening in the world. He is saying that in a small town this wouldn’t happen. That the people have respect. Respect for life old, black, white,red or purple. That in a small town the wouldn’t let it happen.😊
Black folk live in small towns also. Nothing racist about it. All the song means is don't act a fool. We all know each other in a small town. We take care of our friends and neighbors . We help each other.
It’s saying in small we take care of our own people. Small town people are like family. No matter what color you are. We stand up against wrong together. I’m from Mississippi. Every one thinks that racism is so bad here. It’s the opposite. If we see something happening to anyone. We gone step in. We don’t put up with the stuff you see in big cities. It’s a respect thing!
"We take care of our own" refers to the people who live in the small town. In small towns people look out for each other and help one another. It has nothing to do with race. There is no racism in this video. His message is clear. He is criticizing the EVENTS taking place in the video. He basically says people in a small town wouldn't allow those things to happen in their community.
This has nothing to do with being on any side or race. I live in a small town of less than 1000 people. In a small town we do not see color, we see decency. When he said "we take care of our own". He isn't talking race he's talking people. We don't care if your Black, Brown, white or any other color we judge people on there actions not color. Example: Someone comes into town and punches or rob someone regardless of color. I can guarantee that would not end well for that individual. We police ourselves and in that case you would probably find yourself, naked, covered in honey tied to a tree and left to the woodland creatures. In a small town were all family regardless of color and you don't mess with family without repercussions.
We got black folks in the Country too they completely fine with this song in a small town we do not look at color we are like family we treat each other as such we will give out a helping hand to anyone in our community. But what we will not accept is someone coming from a different state or City to just caused destruction and mayhem. you Do not destroy your city or community. Its like folk forgot we got african Americans in these small towns too and we gonna stand up for each other because we believe in god family county an community.
This video didn't have the farmer who was in need of help and his community came to his aid. It was not against the cops at all it was more the disrespect against not only the flag, cops and peoples livelihood. He is saying come and try that rioting in the small towns and we won't stand for it because we take care of our community members. Thank you for being honest in this review.
Our own means whoever lives in the small town. In a small town everyone knows everyone. It dont matter if your black or white, if someone sucker punches you, carjacks you, robs you at gunpoint, they are gonna get strung up by the townfolk, cuz you're their family.
The song wasn’t about cops or race - it was about community…act a fool in a small town and it won’t be tolerated …it’s that simple. “Our own” refers to friends, neighbors and family.
Small town folk watch out for each other. This isn't a race issue. Small town folk don't loot, burn, and destroy other folks property. He's just saying don't bring that shit to a small town cause we're not gonna put up with it.
I dont understand the point of this video if you dont understand the song. To then say its a white vs black thing when its not. Not everything in this country has to do with race. We are set up to be divided because the people hold no power when seperated.
I live in a small town and we have one grocery store and a few gas stations and black and white both work there side by side just trying to make sure that their kids have the opportunity to get an education. We are a community and we will protect them all the same. He's talking about crime not race. If someone hears this and automatically think he's talking about Black people then they are the true racist.
It's not about cops vs. others. It's about all the disrespect toward the country and all the violence in the cities. Small towns most people know each other, they're like family. He's just saying we don't want that crap here. Listen to the words, sucker a punch an old lady, he never mentioned race. Not promoting violence he's just saying don't try all that violence here in our home, we won't put up with it. When he said "our own" he mean family, neighbors, loved ones. It's wanting to go back to normal where the country was like one big family, now we are all divided with all the violence.
I live in a small in Oklahoma around 200 people total most are farmers I myself am a 25 year retired military veteran and if someone needs help we all come together to support and help out. When that crap was going on everybody in town sat on their porches watching with their firearms. Waiting to end if it came near us.
It not about the cops not about black people it's about community and and treating each with respect. Try that in a small town should happen everywhere. Be kind and humble
In a small town, rural areas they have to deal with wildlife, bears, coyote, so for that reason alone, everyone is armed. emergency services are limited. Any disaster or threat, the town no matter your color has to stand up for and defend itself if necessary. No one will stop you from practicing 1st amendment right to free speech, but you are going to use your words. Let us know how we can help. If anyone wants to use your cause as an excuse to attack, riot, loot, or set fires, you will be met with 2nd amendment rights. That's all he is saying.
It's about the rampant crime that was masquerading as protests. Rioting, burning, and looting of small businesses; violent crimes against the vulnerable in society, like older people, women, and children. That seems to be tolerated in some cities, but not really in small towns. The people in the videos were more white than black. It wasn't about race at all.
He's against violence and criminal activity in the big cities. It won't happen in a small town. Fires and looting from innocent ppl. As Americans none of us should put up with this behavior.
No, it's not a tribute to the cops. It's talking about the violence done by groups who burned down businesses and weren't arrested or punished in anyway. Don't bring that violence to a small town. We don't want it and won't allow it. "We take care of our own" has no race. It's about our neighbors and that's NOT about race.
Its about loving thy neighbor and having respect for people and for our country. Dont burn flags that Americans have died for. If big cities have to play politics and let rioters destroy businesses that people put their all into, that's a shame. In a small town, we arent guaranteed a police department, we count on a county sherif to respond, can take hours. So we look out for each other, and their property. Just doing what's right, regardless of color, religion or any other category they try to separate us into. Just love thy neighbor.❤ Edit was correct auto correct spelling.
Take care of our own means the people in his community. Black white yellow green doesnt matter. A tight knit community ppl look out for each other. Theres a bond that cant be broken.
He is referring to the violence and destruction and ignorance of bigger cities. Small towns are more of a community and respect and compassion is prevalent towards others, and they won't tolerate the ignorance and disrespect and destruction that bigger cities deal with
The problematic thing about this song to the left is that it has unified the country, at least the silent majority is STARTING to have a voice! Enough is enough!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠
He’s anti-rioting saying “play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” Doesn’t matter if you’re blue, pink, black, brown, white… just be a decent human being. Not hard.
He is saying that if yo do shit like that in a small town, WE THE PEOPLE will shut you down in a minute, we don't play that and let people riot and tear stuff down. Out here EVERYONE is armed and willing to defend against all that crap you saw on this video.

Another Jason vid
You should listen to Hank Williams Jr.- A Country Boy Can Survive. It was released in the early 1980's.
Its not about being against the "cops". Its about bringing the chaos and lawlessness to a small unified community.
How about this chaos and lawlessness. th-cam.com/video/0pe241gW0dQ/w-d-xo.html&pp=gAQB
See a lot of rioting in small towns, do you? No, you don’t. Because nobody wants to go there, anyway. This is nothing but a racist dog whistle. A loud one.
Nailed it. 👌
On the Money- Exactly!
That’s something only blacks bring
"Take care of our own" means everyone... not just our own white people. Small towns are tight.
In the small towns we r all close we see everyone as friends/family so u f**k with one ur going to get everyone ones haven a hard time with making it we come together an try and help out
You are exactly right and please forgive me cuz I didn't get your name I'm so sorry I don't know if you're a king or queen but thank you
Some of that images in there they think Jason Aldean is racist but let me tell you something happen somebody be racist if his wife Brittany Aldean invited Candace Owens her and her her husband to their house braces is when somebody don't like a certain color and those fools right there they're freaking ignorant I don't agree with that shiZ there may be racism from some white people I don't know and may not be it might be but I'm not one of them I love my sisters and brothers we were made in his image for God's children
If I see ANYONE mess with my buddy who is black, I will not hesitate to take care of THEM, because he is one of our own. That's the point! He would have my back in a heartbeat. We always say "Love you brother, no matter the color."
We love everyone in our community and stand together! Has nothing to do with color or background!
Jason Aldean rocks he's a true American I'm behind Jason Aldean 💯🇺🇸
It's not about the cops. It's about violence and our choice to not accept it. We are all a community. We are all brothers and sisters on this planet and we have to look out for our own, meaning all of us. Race, creed, nationality, gender, political standing, etc. Non of that matters. We are all connected and we need to end the violence. That starts at home with educating our kids and raising them without hate in their hearts.
Preach!!
Right now, the only place that seems to be happening is in small towns. I won't go near a city anymore.
“Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk, carjack an old lady at a red light! Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store, you think it’s cool? Well act a fool if you like! Cuss at a cop, spit in his face, stomp on the flag, and light it up! Yeah, you think you’re tough? Well, try that in a small town, see how far you make it down the road! Around here, we take care of our own you cross that line, it won’t take long for you to find out! I recommend you don’t… try that in a small town!” it’s not a threat, it’s a promise!! I STAND WITH JASON!! Boycott CMT for pulling his video!!
Small towns take care of each other no matter what race color or creed. Neighbors helping neighbors and respecting and loving America and all its colors Its against acting the fool and destroying property and violence in general.
1st time seeing this for me. Thanks for putting it out here. I don't think black people are the only rioters, looters, criminals, or disrespectful people. I think the video showed that. Race doesn't determine how you act, you do. Glad to know some folks are speaking out against all the violence and disrespect. We should judge people by their actions.
Is that how you judge your Orange Fuhrer Jesus ?
It’s not racism at all.
There is no subspecies of human, therefor no races. This is 2nd grade science, at 9/10 elementary schools in the country.
When someone feels a type of way about a groups beliefs, or someones skin color, or religion, or choice.... its called being prejudice.
The reason why media replaced the word prejudice with racism is because calling someone a prejudicier doesnt have any impact, it doesnt incite anything.
But calling someone a racist, does. This was actually researched.
This happened in the 80's, and born in the 7th-8th US Census after slavery ended when the skin color column changed to race.
It's a way to hide ones own prejudice, by claiming it's something else. In fact, its why we see it so frequently projected.
Whoever claims racism, would likely not be able to complete a 2nd grade book report.
Its that simple. You are correct. Judge people by the content of their character.
It was mostly white pukes in antifa . Rioters,
‘His kind’ represents anyone who is a law abiding citizen who loves and protects his family and community. It has nothing to do with race. Maybe listen again?
1. No small town is completely white and small towns people with different skin color see it the same way as Jason Aldean, you are welcome to convince yourself of that and ask some there yourself if you don't believe me.
2. We see a white female who spits in a cops face (minute 0:32- 033) during a blonde one shows her middle finger to the police (minute 0:27- 0:28) and the warning goes to these people too!
CONCLUSION: When it's racist for a white men to warn black AND WHITE criminals to do this in a small town, then, by implication, you have to to support these riots to be not racist, just think about it.
You logic is sick
@@johnmaltby134chode
When he says, “take care of our own” he is talking about the community as a whole. Taking care of each other. Being respectful to each other, helping each other out. Keeping the community safe. Not just taking care of white people. Geezzzzzz
Jason is from Georgia where the state of emergency was. I don’t know when I don’t watch the news. But this video was shot in Columbia Tennessee, which is where Jason currently lives with his wife and family. That’s a courthouse with the flag hanging off of it which is one of the oldest structures in Columbia. People are trying to say that because of the lynching against Black people at this courthouse took place back in the 1920s that Jason intentionally shot the video there as a subliminal message supporting lynching, which is absolutely and utterly absurd. He simply shot the video there because it’s a monumental landmark in his hometown, and he doesn’t like to travel far away from his family when he works when he can avoid it because of the touring that he usually does.
Hannah Montana filmed a scene in one of the episodes, from the exact same building. Is she then also in favor of lynching.
@@ingarnordby6819 of course not she’s a liberal
Find an old building in United States that don't have any awful event in the last say 100 years.... Good luck
@@zendragon6214 ikr?!? and that’s not just United States that’s everywhere
ITS ABOUT COMMUNITY! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT?RACE! SMALL TOWN IS FAMILY!!!
It’s not about going against cops. It’s about the outrageous violence that is going on in our country. In a small town every one knows everyone. We are all neighbors and if you go after us we will fight back. We have each others backs and will, help our neighbor in need regardless of color, religion or politics.
THE SONG AND MESSAGE IS ANTI - CRIME! POINT BLANK PERIOD!!!!!!
I didn't know Jason Aldean until this recent controversy and after I listened to one of his other hit songs "Dirt Road Anthem" today and then it all the noise just made sense. This man is probably invited to everybody's cookout.
Did you even see the white guy spinning in the cops face? This song isn't about race it's about people creating havoc in your town. He's saying don't try this in a small town cuz we will straighten it out ourselves. It has nothing to do with black white purple and has to do with people acted like fools and that small towns would not take this.
We probably don’t have 10 cops total on our little force out here. Buncha troublemakers show up, and race don’t matter, we gonna have to help out. Dat’s all. Aint nothin about one particular group or another, we got plenty of races out here and we all look out for each other.👍
Thanks y’all! Good reaction.
We got 2 cops. Open carry state. I’ll support and stand beside any of my neighbors! And I’ve only been here 5 years maybe. But no one else is coming to help.🤷♂️💪
It’s about family and community standing together against all the shit that goes on in the big cities. If you try that in a small town the whole town will stop that real quick
He's basically saying FAFO. He's saying don't bring that madness and chaos to his town - crime, riots etc. because they value their homes, businesses and community and stand up for one another. Everyone knows one another: the people, the police, the firefighters, are close and the men in those towns don't allow any degeneracy. Most times, there are male leaders in the town who quickly put an end to nonsense, so they never even need to call the police. In the cities, people have very little in common and don't have a shared set of values. Many people don't feel a sense of community, so they don't respect where they live.
Oh okay thank you i appreciate you for letting me know what he mean! Thank you for watching
its about loving this country being against crime and coming together to stop the chaos
no, what he is saying is our community wouldn't allow you to spit in someones face, that is assault and against the law, we have more respect for each other that to do stupid things like that.
et me put it in perspective, he is saying that you can pull that nonsense in cities where police and people won't put a stop to your lawlessness, in small towns and some cities people don't play that, if you come to rob us, shoot us, burn down our businesses we will put a stop to that shit fast, because we aren't the police that will stand there and do nothing. As far as the gun comment his grandad gave him, they say they're going to round them up, meaning government wants to take our guns, and he is saying you aren't taking our guns. Not racist in anyway,, people crying racist are making the assumption that black people are the only people that commit crimes, loot steal and shoot people, just thinking such a thing is the definition of racism, so the ones crying racist are actually the real racists. The majority of black people and all races actually support the song and are sick of this false racism shit, and people not being punished for constantly breaking laws. The people that seem to be screaming the loudest are WHITE LIBERALS. He is basically saying don't come here acting a fool and trying and hurt our community, is basically telling criminals to fuck around and find out in a small town because we take care of our shit and our own regardless of color, we are a family, regardless what color you are, And you don't mess with family.
"Take care of our own" was referencing the people that live in the small town.
Refardless of color and sexuality
Small towns are tight communities where every one goes to the same schools and houses of worship. Generations may live there. You are considered neighbors and stick up for one another reguardless of race. or religion. We will not tolerate violence against others and stick up for one another. I am proud to say I grew up on a dairy farm and went to school in a small town.
HI..Taking care of my own in a small town means all the people in that community. It does not matter if your black, white Native ..ect... if you live in that community you will be protected. That's how they take care of there own and that includes everyone..much love to yall..
This song isn’t about color. It’s about good people standing together against evil
Song is great.
Leave it alone.
Taking care of your neighbors.
It is written..
I dare say, this may be one of those songs that becomes infamous for the lyrics, beat, visuals and message. Not many artists can do that these days.
Enjoyed your reaction very much. A coupla counter points. 1) Small towns don't have a large urban police force. Most residents are armed because they HAVE to be. When they are in danger, there is no such thing as immediate help. You're on your own to defend your family and your neighbors if you can. People may care more because its easier to know people in a smaller community. This video is pro community, anti violence, anti-anarchy and anti-lawlessness. It seems some people are OK with that, but not in "small towns." 2) If you see ray-cism in this video your imagination put it there. I challenge you to find a single image of any clearly identifiable POC. I think Jason purposely edited his footage to avoid any reason to make a claim of bigotry. It's about defending your own community when danger comes close to home. (Even the liquor store robber is covered head to toe so that skin tone and hair features are impossible to determine.) The only identifiable faces causing trouble are white. 3) last point. some people claim its pro l-y-n-c-hing because it was filmed in front of a courthouse where one occurred...over a hundred years ago. So was the Hannah Montana movie with Miley Cyrus. Booker T. Washington warned us years ago about people who profit more from dividing us than uniting us. That's why, after viewing at least 50 reaction videos of this song, at least 90 % of the black content creators I've seen have not bitten the race bait. I am pleased to see so many black people see through the lies that they've been told by some. As Jussie Smollett proved, "The demand for racism now exceeds the supply so it must be invented." Even Rodney King graciously said after the LA riots and his cop beat-down that started them, "Can't we all just get along?" Amen, Rodney and RIP.
You are exactly right.i don't hate people. I hate the way they act sometimes.
It is not being on the side of the cop, nor against the cops, it is not even a white/black thing. Yeah he said "good ole boys", that actually refers to southern guys, no color of skin does not matter. "We take care of our own", states the mentality of a small town. Color has zero to do with that. I have lived in a small town. Antifa thought they were going to roll through to another small town and riot at their country court house. The county cops and state police escorted them back to California as they would not have made it through the town. I got home from work, and at the church near the neighborhood I lived in there were about 60 people, white, black, hispanic, and asian, all with firearms waiting for antifa to try and roll through. We heard over police scanners that the police escorted them back to where they came from. The night before antifa rolled in while the town was in for the night and put graffiti up all over the place and destroyed somethings. People were seriously pissed off.
This song is about how a small town can, and does come together despite differences. Which is what we all need to get back to and drop this racism BS.
Like others said, it's not about the cops. It's about crime and violence that isn't tolerated in small towns. It's about respect and standing up for your neighbor. It's too bad you didn't watch the longer version of this video. It drives home this message more. It's kind of like the in-color footage from Yuma. 3 armed men came into a convenient store to rob the place, not expecting a marine to be standing there who disarms them (and detains them until police arrive - part not seen in video clip)
As for a couple of things you said, only 3 pieces of riot footage were from the US (2 were George Floyd related). Most of them were from Europe and Canada. The robberies were US. So it's clear he's pointing out the violence and disrespect that doesn't fly in a small town. Also, most small towns could care less what color you are and there are all colors in small towns.
No, it's not all about cops! It's about all the violence and crimes that were "allowed" to happen in cities, that would NOT be allowed to happen in small towns. Small towns have all kinds, all races, etc...He is talking about the unity and community of small towns, as compared to the divides in the cities. The backgrounds you saw were PUBLISHED incident of violence, destruction of property, attacks on cops, crimes, etc...He is saying to leave that all right there IN the cities, and don't even try to bring it to our small towns, as we won't put up with it! There is NO mention of color, black or white. It is NOT racist in the least, although the far left liberals are trying to portray it that way to get him silenced.
Not only allowed, but encouraged and paid for.
It’s about stopping all this nonsense and living together like we use to do….remember !!
I think he's saying don't bring that mess into our little community. We're tightknit. Don't think what others say about it is true just because they said it. BTW, I didn't see a bunch of black people in this video....white. AND, I'm white
Not Race, it is about crime and hoodlums.. ♠W.G.
First of all, he said absolutely nothing about race, so you guys saying that it’s blacks against whites that’s kind of a racist thing to say when he never mentioned race one time he never mention feud against white against blacks, so I think you guys should check yourself a little bit. This song was about the riots with BLM and antifa destroying cities, and all he saying is try that in a small town where that shit is not gonna fly small towns consist of white blacks, Hispanics, Chinese, and all the other races that will not fly in any small town noticed how BLM and antifa never went to a small town🤷🏻♂️
He's got bars, he's saying you bring that nonsense here you gonna F around and find out.
Ohhh okay !
It's a song about community and standing up for each other begardless of color or sex.
The problem with America is everyone thinking that everything is black people vs police. This video is just talking about the violent riots. Do you think that violence is a good way to achieve political goals? The fact that you guys saw racism in this song means that you are racist. People like you just need to change the way you look at things.
Small town that helps each other in need regardless of race, religion or gender. It can even stand for the same for a big city neighborhood, looking out for each other. 💪🇺🇲💕
The plot of the song is don't start no shit, won't be no shit.. as the Youngbloodz once said.. saying don't come to small towns just to act a fool..
What he's saying is we're not going to put up with the b******* no matter what race it is
Take care of our own is saying in a small town everyone is treated like family... and he’s not saying anything about people of color.. he’s saying anybody comes around here doing that shit won’t be tolerated.. in the words of Lil Jon “don’t start no shit there won’t be no shit”
I'm from a very small town. If you're in trouble we all come to help because we're neighbors. Doesn't matter what you look like or believe. We lookout for one another. 🇺🇲
I wss born and raised in a small town and worked in the inner city as a fireman of 23 years , and believe it or not there were alot of small neighborhoods in the city. We all got along and we all protectied all . We here in a small town take care of anyone that lives in our neighborhood. Doesn't mean one color. We take care of everyone here.
Each take care of your own. He's town, his people that live in. Different folks, all type of folks live in a small town. He's against the non sense chaos (violence) that goes on in a big town. Saying you won't get away with that in a small town. They take care of their own, (no matter color or race). This has nothing to do with color or race.
My favorite part is the convenient store with the armed robber coming in and getting knock back out the door.
"Raised up right" = zero toleration for dangerouse criminal activity.
Hard working folks dont want rioting and violence in their communities. It kinda gets in the way of living the American lifestyle that consists of gauranteed freedom, life, and the right to pursue happiness.
Thats what this song is about.
I ve lived in a big city and a small town. There is definitely a culture difference. It’s not a racial thing, it’s how we interact and look out for one another.
Criminals and lawless behavior happens in bigger cities because you Caan be more anonymous and no one knows who you are. In small town we are much more open to people and we know our neighbors. We have each others backs and are not gonna let people tear up businesses and the community.
The message is simple, small towns may be overlooked and dismissed by urban centers, but we won’t let anyone tear down our communities. If you’re part of our community we have your back.
I have been in law enforcement for 33 years. When you say the "opposite" side, there are no sides. This song is nothing about race. if you look at the video there are all races. if you watched the video till the end you would see what the song is about. in small towns we take care of each other. The song also is about the 2nd amendment. when he says my grandfather gave me a gun, and they say they are going to round them up. I live in a small town, work in the city, I have black neighbors. we look out for each other. that is what the song is about.
this song represents being a true American! Burning the flag, looting, rioting, sucker punching old women, car jackings; robberies, all unAmerican, come try this in a small town bcuz dat chit don't fly in a small town, as Americans, we take care of our own, meaning, we all are neighbors. friends and family round here and we will protect whats ours and as American we will fight for whats right! dont come round here being invasive tearing things up! its about being civil patriots loving and protecting family, friends, and neighbors! 1LUV
I live in an extremely small town in Ohio to the point where it's actually considered a village. If you lived in our town you would definitely be considered part of that "our." We actually had some protesters a few years ago come in on a bus. The townspeople just lined up on the sides of the street while the protesters walked. At the end of the day a lot of people shaked hands and the protesters got back on the bus and left. It was actually pretty cool man. I view the song strictly speaking about criminals committing crime. Peaceful protesters will always be welcome in my town!
“Around here we take care of our own . . .” Many of these social uprisings destroyed local businesses in the very neighborhoods the rioters were claiming to be standing up for. We have a Constitutionally protected, God-given right to protest in this country BUT destroying property, burning cop cars, blocking freeway traffic are NOT protected activities. The message of the song is that destructive behavior won’t fly in small towns. The businesses and property and people in small towns stick together to push back.
Generally speaking, small town communities will "take care of their own," regardless of skin color, because they all know each other and feel more like family.
I'm from a small town in Georgia. My people would drop our stuff to help out anybody. We are sick of the shit going on in big cities across the country.
There’s nothing racist about this song. His message is about the lawlessness that was going on in the major cities around the country. To interpret; the people of the small towns (no matter their color or background) around the country stick together and take care of their own (meaning the people ALL PEOPLE of that town) would band together to help each other fight back against the agitators.
It’s all about RIGHT and WRONG ! You don’t sucker punch an old lady on a sidewalk… you don’t hijack a car at a red light … you don’t stomp on the American flag… you don’t spit in a cops face .. you don’t burn down buildings… when he says they take care of their own, he means in a small town you take care of your own residents , regardless of the color , age , or sex. . If you are a good, law abiding citizen the town residents will not let these things happen to you , like they may in a large city ..they are true law abiding Americans !
Small town = tight community no matter the color. Everyone knows everything about everyone. Most of those riots that happenedConsisted of people from different states not just that one state or that one area. The saying try that in a small town don’t bring that hatred that anger to burn down a community,peoples livelihoods. In a small town that shit won’t be tolerated.
It’s a song about how people in small towns are close and protect each other. His own are everyone in a small town. He didn’t say anything racist in the song
The song simply says that riots, burning, and looting will not be tolerated in a small town. Everyone know each other and will stick together to help each other. It has nothing to do with race. Just don't bring that shit to a small town because it won't be tolerated like it is in the cities.
UNITED WE STAND, DEVIDED WE FALL...
❤❤
Hello ..law and order.quit thinking racism.
This isn’t about race. He was just showing what was and is happening in the world. He is saying that in a small town this wouldn’t happen. That the people have respect. Respect for life old, black, white,red or purple. That in a small town the wouldn’t let it happen.😊
Don't bring the lawless city crap to a small town where people stick up for their community and won't tolerate criminal behaviour
He's against violence! A small town could be YOUR TOWN🙏
It is about how small town communities real stand together and take care of each against the violence and protest. This song is not about racism
Black folk live in small towns also. Nothing racist about it. All the song means is don't act a fool. We all know each other in a small town. We take care of our friends and neighbors . We help each other.
It’s saying in small we take care of our own people. Small town people are like family. No matter what color you are. We stand up against wrong together. I’m from Mississippi. Every one thinks that racism is so bad here. It’s the opposite. If we see something happening to anyone. We gone step in. We don’t put up with the stuff you see in big cities. It’s a respect thing!
"We take care of our own" refers to the people who live in the small town. In small towns people look out for each other and help one another. It has nothing to do with race. There is no racism in this video. His message is clear. He is criticizing the EVENTS taking place in the video. He basically says people in a small town wouldn't allow those things to happen in their community.
This has nothing to do with being on any side or race. I live in a small town of less than 1000 people. In a small town we do not see color, we see decency. When he said "we take care of our own". He isn't talking race he's talking people. We don't care if your Black, Brown, white or any other color we judge people on there actions not color. Example: Someone comes into town and punches or rob someone regardless of color. I can guarantee that would not end well for that individual. We police ourselves and in that case you would probably find yourself, naked, covered in honey tied to a tree and left to the woodland creatures. In a small town were all family regardless of color and you don't mess with family without repercussions.
We got black folks in the Country too they completely fine with this song in a small town we do not look at color we are like family we treat each other as such we will give out a helping hand to anyone in our community. But what we will not accept is someone coming from a different state or City to just caused destruction and mayhem. you Do not destroy your city or community. Its like folk forgot we got african Americans in these small towns too and we gonna stand up for each other because we believe in god family county an community.
This video didn't have the farmer who was in need of help and his community came to his aid. It was not against the cops at all it was more the disrespect against not only the flag, cops and peoples livelihood. He is saying come and try that rioting in the small towns and we won't stand for it because we take care of our community members. Thank you for being honest in this review.
Small town, we don't care about your race, religion, or ethnicity. We take care of our own. In our small town, we stick together as one.
The background of the song is life. Theres nothing more to know about it.
Our own means whoever lives in the small town. In a small town everyone knows everyone. It dont matter if your black or white, if someone sucker punches you, carjacks you, robs you at gunpoint, they are gonna get strung up by the townfolk, cuz you're their family.
He said "I recommend you don't try that in a small town " We have each other's backs. In big cities that had riots, you don't know your neighbors
The song wasn’t about cops or race - it was about community…act a fool in a small town and it won’t be tolerated …it’s that simple.
“Our own” refers to friends, neighbors and family.
Small town folk watch out for each other. This isn't a race issue. Small town folk don't loot, burn, and destroy other folks property. He's just saying don't bring that shit to a small town cause we're not gonna put up with it.
It's about how small towns we protect each other. We don't care about color. If your one of our people in the small town we will protect you.
I dont understand the point of this video if you dont understand the song. To then say its a white vs black thing when its not. Not everything in this country has to do with race. We are set up to be divided because the people hold no power when seperated.
I live in a small town and we have one grocery store and a few gas stations and black and white both work there side by side just trying to make sure that their kids have the opportunity to get an education. We are a community and we will protect them all the same. He's talking about crime not race. If someone hears this and automatically think he's talking about Black people then they are the true racist.
It's not about cops vs. others. It's about all the disrespect toward the country and all the violence in the cities. Small towns most people know each other, they're like family. He's just saying we don't want that crap here. Listen to the words, sucker a punch an old lady, he never mentioned race. Not promoting violence he's just saying don't try all that violence here in our home, we won't put up with it. When he said "our own" he mean family, neighbors, loved ones. It's wanting to go back to normal where the country was like one big family, now we are all divided with all the violence.
I live in a small in Oklahoma around 200 people total most are farmers I myself am a 25 year retired military veteran and if someone needs help we all come together to support and help out. When that crap was going on everybody in town sat on their porches watching with their firearms. Waiting to end if it came near us.
We take care of our PEOPLE in a small town, regardless of race! We won't put up with violence!
What he's saying is FAFO.. I live in a very small town.. Where everyone knows everyone else. And we come to the defence of our neighbors
instead of hearing the words "small Town" think about your neighborhood..you protect seniors, kids , you protect your own against crime
It not about the cops not about black people it's about community and and treating each with respect. Try that in a small town should happen everywhere. Be kind and humble
In a small town, rural areas they have to deal with wildlife, bears, coyote, so for that reason alone, everyone is armed. emergency services are limited. Any disaster or threat, the town no matter your color has to stand up for and defend itself if necessary. No one will stop you from practicing 1st amendment right to free speech, but you are going to use your words. Let us know how we can help. If anyone wants to use your cause as an excuse to attack, riot, loot, or set fires, you will be met with 2nd amendment rights. That's all he is saying.
It's about the rampant crime that was masquerading as protests. Rioting, burning, and looting of small businesses; violent crimes against the vulnerable in society, like older people, women, and children. That seems to be tolerated in some cities, but not really in small towns. The people in the videos were more white than black. It wasn't about race at all.
“Our Own “ is anyone in any close knit community. No matter skin color.
He's against violence and criminal activity in the big cities. It won't happen in a small town. Fires and looting from innocent ppl. As Americans none of us should put up with this behavior.
No, it's not a tribute to the cops. It's talking about the violence done by groups who burned down businesses and weren't arrested or punished in anyway. Don't bring that violence to a small town. We don't want it and won't allow it. "We take care of our own" has no race. It's about our neighbors and that's NOT about race.
Its about speaking out against lawlessness & small towns who will protect themselves and not tolerate being robbed and attacked.
Its about loving thy neighbor and having respect for people and for our country. Dont burn flags that Americans have died for. If big cities have to play politics and let rioters destroy businesses that people put their all into, that's a shame. In a small town, we arent guaranteed a police department, we count on a county sherif to respond, can take hours. So we look out for each other, and their property. Just doing what's right, regardless of color, religion or any other category they try to separate us into. Just love thy neighbor.❤ Edit was correct auto correct spelling.
Take care of our own means the people in his community. Black white yellow green doesnt matter. A tight knit community ppl look out for each other. Theres a bond that cant be broken.
You should watch it again. You didn't catch the drift of the video.
He is referring to the violence and destruction and ignorance of bigger cities. Small towns are more of a community and respect and compassion is prevalent towards others, and they won't tolerate the ignorance and disrespect and destruction that bigger cities deal with
The problematic thing about this song to the left is that it has unified the country, at least the silent majority is STARTING to have a voice! Enough is enough!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠
He is saying don't come to a small town thinking you are going to burn and destroy the town cause the whole town will stand together.
He’s anti-rioting saying “play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
Doesn’t matter if you’re blue, pink, black, brown, white… just be a decent human being. Not hard.
Coming from a small town, it’s about standing together regardless of race.
This song is not racist at all this song is very patriotic and that's just my opinion
He is saying that if yo do shit like that in a small town, WE THE PEOPLE will shut you down in a minute, we don't play that and let people riot and tear stuff down. Out here EVERYONE is armed and willing to defend against all that crap you saw on this video.
