@@NotStanleyTucci No, the hatemongering race baiters, who, BTW, are getting filthy rich pushing that narrative, are the ones who are trying to divide us. In my small town all of the races get along and help each other out. That's the way it should be.
@robertranco see it however you want. It's that attitude that fans the flame of division. Are you filled with that much hate that you're completely blind? Or are you just playing dumb to be an ignorant troll?
I'm from Knoxville TN which is a pretty big city, but it consists of a lot of small, diverse communities. And we take care of each other regardless of race, religion, or political views. The song is simply saying, "Keep your crime away from us because we don't play that game here."
Then why does the video not focus on crime, but instead on protests, which is our first amendment cherished right that dictators prohibit immediately. Protecting our own is what White Supremacies, fascists, militia, Proud Boys, vigilantes, and folks just looking for a fight (especially if it's 10 on 1). That's not moral values nor is it supporting "law and order." It's cowardly mob rule. There's safety in following the mob, it can even be thrilling. It's great being positive we're always on the right side of exactly 2 sides, best settled by violence instead of wimpy, boring negotiation, reasoned discussion, and compromise.
Im black and from a small town in Ga. We all look out for one another and our kids. When we pass eachother on the roads we wave. We see someone with a flat tire we stop and help. All the stuff u wont find in a city. So dnt bring ur shenanigans here bc you be delt with by all of us not just white or black. I love it here. When u walk in a bank they know ur 1st and last name. Way to go Jason Aldean, most of us agree with his message and praying for his continued success...🙏🏽🙏🏽
I remember a film clip from the summer of the BLM and Antifa riots. One of those groups was walking through a small town. Their streets were lined with men holding guns watching them walk through their town and the message was clear……don’t mess around here and keep walking. The men holding the guns were completely silent and their guns were pointed at the ground. Those who support the rioters hate it because it completely negates their tactics and message. This is why we need our second amendment. It is a deterrent against tyranny. Love all your reactions Brittney.
If you are referring to Snohomish Wa, I was of the people lining the streets, heavily armed! It was a great site to see, everyone coming together to protect the town. I now live in a very small town in north Idaho, we are a very tight community that would protect this town at any cost.
I live in a fairly small town. There was a BLM protest of around 15 people walking around the courthouse with signs. They were peaceful and people respected their right to free speech. They didn’t block traffic, scream obscenities, vandalize property, etc.. and no one threatened or intimidated them. It was all as it should be.
Kalispell Montana did the same thing, they were unloading their gear and the rolling coal group if you will met up with this group and told them pack up and we'll escort you out of here, and even gave them an armored convoy escort out of the state. Hwy 2 was blocked off at certain points and times by our own Highway Patrol and Sheriff's Department for their 121 Mile journey out. Now, that was to be honored.
There's a lot of black people here in smaller towns. We ALL take care of each other, it's called FAMILY. Family doesn't have a color. I have a mixed family.
Yep super mixed in the Great State of Tennessee as a tenth generation Tennessean and proud of all our heritage! Scotts-Irish Choctaw with African American mixed children , grandchildren,nieces,inlaws and all . ..RACES DONT EXIST. .. FAMILY DOES!!!
amen. i have never judged by color..friends from everywhere. this is about the criminals who try to justify violence with the term protest. They got handed theirs in Wisconsin and when they protest marched here in Indiana small town, they were greeted with armed residents on porches..go ahead..try it chumps
Britt, I grew up on a farm in a small town community in N, GA. We saw no skin color. If a neighbor needed help, everyone dropped what they were doing and RUSHED to render Help ! No questions asked.. It didn't matter of skin color ! We took care of our neighbors !! We were raised in Christian Family's and Church. Love Ya Girl.. Just subbed your site.. BTW,, I found the same thing in the Military. We would give everything including our lives for our Family and Friends. HooAH !
@@rodneyedwards4230 I'll second that comment. When we were at sea you couldn't go very far from the problems so they had to be dealt with. I was USN 1966 to 1977 on the West Coast and westward. Vietnam was calling... Britt was talking about small towns and the difference when you looked at the environment in a much larger urban city. In the small town I've lived near since my family moved there in 1966, you figured it out fairly quickly. The Deputy Sheriffs knew your neighbors, your parents, most of the grandparents, and didn't have to go screaming down the road in their cruiser, they just drove to your families place and talked with your parents until you wandered in... oops!! An old friend of mine built a tube frame go-kart with a Briggs & Stratton engine he put on it. He used to go ripping around the neighborhood until he saw a cop and he'd zip off on a side road and disappear. This worked about twice. The third time, he laughed when he thought he'd out run the Sheriff's car and headed for home. When he came around the corner, that white cruiser was sitting in his driveway and Deputy was talking with his mother!! He know the jig was up and slowly pulled up past the cop and said "Hi" to his mom. That didn't cut it at all. She told the Deputy, "I'll take care of this." She told her son to park it in the shed and go to his room. She sold his go-kart and he rode a bicycle for the next couple of years. That was small town living in the sixties & seventies.
Amen Brother! I'm from small town Iowa and it was MUCH the same. Oh and BTW< I'm also retired military. The majority of the members in the services are from small towns, all across this great nation!
I’m from Forest Park, Georgia which is near Macon where Jason Aldean grew up. He is not being racist but talking about the community and how we take care of our own. It’s just the way we are. We have to stop letting the mainstream media and politicians divide us.
@@DocRock71who's encouraging any of that? He's warning criminals that pulling their bs in a small town would be a mistake. Cops and courts don't play either.
@@DocRock71Self-protection is not vigilantism, which in my mind is seeking out someone to inflict retribution on. Cops are standing down in these big cities when flash mobs and riots are occurring in places like my birthplace of Chicago. And this is on the orders of Dem Mayors! So with your brilliant philosophy people should just lie down. ANTIFA and BLM are terrorist groups run by Deep-State Dims. They even bully fellow Dems that don't do their bidding! So this is about not being a victim to their tactics. It's not about political parties anymore; it's good versus evil.
@@sooankim9247 Sorry to break it to you, but self defense is NOT vililantyism. The message is that small towns do not tolerate violence the way cities do. While police were told not to interfere with the riot and looting in cities, small town law enforcement wont look the other way. Criminals will be arrest, charged, tried and sentenced to the fullest extent in small towns.
Hands down, the BEST reaction to this song! And you hit the nail on the head, my friend. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with race or political opinion. It's about having each other's backs! I'll give you an example from my personal experience: I live in a town of around 6,000. We're 48% white, 39% black, with the remainder being Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, etc. A few years ago, there was a 30yr old black guy who stopped on the highway (4 lane, 65mph) to move a piece of debris so that nobody hit it & potentially wreaked. A young white guy was driving along & hit him. He died on the way to the hospital. State Police determined that the driver was NOT on his phone, was NOT speeding, & there were skid marks showing that he tried to stop. It was just a horrible accident. BUT, the driver made some racists comments to his friend via snapchat. The friend screenshoted them & posted them on Facebook. The town was in an UPROAR! People were talking about protests & possible violence. The man who was killed owned a barber shop. But it wasn't in great shape. His family needed help to keep it going with him gone. The entire community came together to completely renovate & update his shop. Local businesses stepped up & donated flooring, equipment, etc. Local contractors did the work for free. When it was finished, they threw a huge grand reopening & community wide BBQ. The racist little twerp who hit him...he was basically run out of town. He left the STATE. He was made well aware that he wasn't welcome. THAT is small town life. We go to the same stores, the same Churches, movie theater, bowling alley. Our kids go to school together, play ball together, take ballet together. You don't get that in a city. THAT is what this song is about! *I'll accept my award for longest comment now.🤣🤣
What on earth are you talking about ???? 39% Try 16% black there more Mexicans here then there are black and more coming every day. 76% white are you that stupid ??? If there a race war in America you losing big time. I would strongly suggest that you educate your self. Democrat want you to get stupid. You think the democrat are for black people ??? Democrat fought to keep slavery. It was Abraham Lincon Republican that Freed the slaves From the Democrats. Democrats made the kkk Look it up It's called History. while your looking up History look up the word Fascism. To Stop an opposing view from speaking. Democrats. But Republicans are like If you too stupid to educate yourself then F around and find out. Sad day when that Happens. Democrats lie and your so stupid you believe them with out looking it up for your self.
@@RyuS-kw4dl Dude, I have no clue what you're talking about! 1st, I'm a white female & VERY Conservative. 2nd, my TOWN is 39% black according to Census numbers. I never said anything about the NATIONAL figures. 3rd, What Democrat view could you possibly have gotten from my comment. There was nothing political about it AT ALL. It was a story about neighbors helping neighbors & not caring about race/politics/religion/social status...just caring about other human beings. I can't figure out why you'd have a problem with that or how that makes me "stupid"! 🤔
I heard no ramblings! Just an intelligent young woman with a very thoughtful response to the video. And might I add if more people were this thoughtful it would take care of much of the division in this country. God bless you Britt!!
"Good Old Boys" That term has been around for a long time. It means a group of rural young men known by most of the area's population as high spirited, boisterous and sometimes over rowdy pranksters who would drop everything to help anyone in the community. Nothing to do with creek squad or any hate group.
For me, Good old boys will always be associated with the intro to the Dukes of Hazzard. I can appreciate that there may be other , even negative, associations with the term ( in politics for example), but that’s where my mind always goes.
When the line about the good old boys comes up. And it shows the guy in the store that grabs the gun. That is an actual event. It was a Marine that stopped an armed robbery.
Such a wholesome reaction. You are a wonderfully sweet gal. Btw keep that smile. I have watched many of your videos and you are so down to earth and real with your thinking.
You are so SPOT ON!! In my little neighborhood, when I was sick last yr, I put a message on our neighborhood FB page, one of my neighbors, dropped off chicken soup, crackers, Gatorade on my back porch. I still dont know who the kind person was, so, I was never able to pay them back. I just try to pay it forward whenever I can. That's what community does. I am so grateful for the community I live in.
You got the message right thank you iam proud of you. Every race has good and bad. Why we as a nation put up with the minority of trouble makers is beyond me we need to take back our towns and our nation. We need to prosecute the wrong doers including law enforcement if they do wrong .
@@PhilCarson-ge8nd Absolutely not! Keep in mind...Jan 6th was broadcast and talked about over and over and over by your MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, The coverage on Jan 6th was was far greater and criticized way more then the riots were by these networks. If you want i can send you clips on how light and down played the riots were by the news outlets Calling them mostly peaceful protest with cars burning in the background behind reporter. Many on Jan 6th were arrested and some have lengthy sentences. Hell, you had Kamala Harris on tv telling us all...."their not gonna stop" When she should have been condemning them. Can we say the same about the riots? I know there were some arrest. Only to learn many were released very quickly. Look, Jan 6th was wrong period and those perpetrators are paying for their crimes. This song by Jason gives the exposure on the the riots that it lacked from the media. So, don't even try your crap about blind eye on Jan 6th. Far greater damage and innocent lives destroyed by the riots. Jan 6th has been well exposed and covered. Time to even the playing field.
I'm a small town Georgia❤ girl myself. We won't have that foolishness around here. We take care of each other and have each others back. If we were all that way with compassion maybe the world would be just a little bit better. ❤Love this song!
I live in a safe placein canton mi, with 2 acres, we all have guns, but i would back anyone up , doesntnt matter color of skin, we all bleed red, right. Now if we can get all these kids on board.
I'm 65, grew up in a biracial home in a time when it was unacceptable. It is a shame that in todays society that we have so many race baiters that will try to find anything to keep the hatred going. Their main focus in this song was about the building in the background being a sight of a lynching that took place in the 1920's -1940's (don't have exact date) , but they don't mention the fact that several events and movies without issue i might add, have used that same site because it doesn't fit the narrative they want to push.
ALSO From the same history of the Maury County Courthouse: On June 15, 1904, the ground was broken for the new building. The cornerstone was set a few months later on October 8th by Dick Porter, a man estimated to be over 120 years of age. As a slave, he worked on the two previous courthouses in 1808 and 1846. Now, as a free man, he was selected to lay the first trowel of mortar on the cornerstone.
My family and I have that same mentality, like “You mess with one, you mess with the whole bunch”. My dad actually told someone that once. He said, “Just so you know, if you mess with Garrett, you mess with 30-something other people”. I thank God for where I grew up and the environment I grew up in.
Sunny Hostin of The View tried to claim that Macon Georgia is the most racist place in the US. She was implying that it's all white cowboys like Jason Aldean. What she didn't know is that Macon is majority black.
So you’ll kill somebody for no reason or your ok where the video was shot where there was a lynching a long time ago of black people. Plus your ok with storming the US Capitol because that’s what he’s talking about.
@@stonecoldcowboy1817 First off, I'm not a brother...(I) at the end means a girl, y at the end means a boy. I typed it correctly but auto-correct changed it. I'm 52 so I know my grammer sir. So maybe if I cap it it'll be correct...MARINE. I thank ALL of you guys for your service...Marines have the best looking dress uniform I've ever seen. Unfortunately, my husband is a Navy veteran...🙄. Don't even get me started on them, all I can say is they took the Marines & Army where they needed to go. Much love to you Military guys, real American patriots love & thank you & your families for your sacrifice. ❤️❤️
@@jerrimilsteen5427 thx for the kind words and I apologize for not paying attention to the i at the end! That was not Marine-like of me BC we pay attention to detail! Of course, I have been out a while. I am 57 but once a Marine always a Marine!
@@martinklaus2203 Ya, I think most rational people consider it a riot once a protest turns violent. I could be mistaken tho. I know that's the line for me.
Your commentary is on point. This song is about how anonymous bad actors may commit violence and lawlessness with impunity in a big city, but that kind of behavior doesn't fly in a small town.
Martina McBride did a song called "Independence Day" - if you don't know it, take a look at the B&W official video. Then explain to me what Jason Aldean's grandpa's gun did to help that family. "Some folks whispered, some folks talked, but everybody looked the other way." Then, rickybobbytexas, please explain exactly what Jason Aldean's grandpa's gun did to help Ahmaud Arbery. Young black man out for a run, and three Georgia crackers hunted him down like an animal, for sport. Wouldn't be surprised if one or another of those men used their grandpa's gun to shoot him dead. How 'bout that small town where some college kids in upstate NY went in the wrong driveway, and got shot, one of them died, as they were backing out? How did Jason Aldean's grandpa's gun play out in that incident? I could go on, with innumberable examples. He's singing about "We better not see you here when the sun goes down" like it's a good thing.
Agreed but the song is also a bit delusional in implying that a small town will have the resources to deal with that many angry people at once. 1 or a small group of people will absolutely be dealt with quick but the stuff happening in big cities was wild in the number of people involved.
We need to protect each other, our communities, our homes, our children, our parents, our grandparents, our neighbors, we are stronger together than apart. This is about having a moral compass. Thanks Britt for reaching out with so much common sense. We cannot let violence and fear guide us. We all have to stick together. We all deserve a safe place to be with our family.
Enjoyed to hear someone like you who is in touch with reality reacted to this song. We all should have such things you pointed out in common. Freedom is a beautiful thing and to do things to undermine and destroy it is shameful. Thank you !
Doesn't matter what skin tone our neighbors have, we look out for each other against hardships and evil doers. We want our neighbors to be happy, healthy and safe. God Bless you!
But "our own" is usually our just our friends and family or white supremacy. How come it's never about our common enemy, giant monopoly corporations (big oil, big pharma, big food processors, big tech) or the handful of super billionaires who are confident they can control who we hate and fear (by owning Fox News, OAN, NewsMax) as easily as they've rigged our economy. I guess big tough small town folks turn into wimpy cowards when it comes to corporations (unless less it's InBev who bought and Busch diluted Bud Light YEAR AGO or Chick-Fil-A, the most Bible-thumping anti-Dem corporation).
I'm not a country music fan by any means but the more I hear this song, the more I love it. Thanks for giving a fresh and honest opinion of small town values.
Of course you love it. A white, entitled girl loving a song by a white man where he's singing in front of a court house where blacks were lynched. Right up your alley.
Who, the good ol boys you mean? Did he think that would be acceptable? Among whites, I'm sure, but that lyric doesn't include any other race ,but white! If he wanted to glorify the site of that lynching, he should have left that lyric out!
Yes I completely agree, and this is not insinuating anything against race or creed or gender, it’s about us taking care of each other. I was raised in a farming community outside of a small town and, if there was any trouble we took care of each other whether it was a field on fire or a family that was down on their luck that needed food, we took care of our community ❤
As a Jew from New York City I can tell you it’s insane here. It’s been that way since I was ten years old. I’m almost twenty nine years old now. And I have no tolerance for it. Thanks for the reaction, Brittreacts.
Exactly right, he's talking about everyone who acts a fool. I grew up in a small town desert California. everyone knows everybody. Even the gang members don't mess with civilians. I'm not even into country and I Love this song.
Amen Britt!! You are spot on in your reaction. This is about all Americans; let’s get back to supporting, loving and respecting each other. ❤Thank you for reacting to this song. God Bless you and your family.
Britt, this was one of my favorite reactions to this song that I've seen so far. You are right on the money, and I appreciate how thoughtful you are. Keep up the great content!
Jason isn’t wrong. That is literally my small town. He’s singing in front of my local courthouse. I was working 1 block away when this was filmed. Jason is a member of our community. A community that is filled with every single ethnicity imaginable. Nothing happened in Columbia during the riots because our community knows that riots only hurt our fellow neighbors which in turn only hurts ourselves. Riots are pointless and unacceptable in our community. We are spending time, money, and effort to renovate and improve our town. We have community events where everyone is welcome and everyone enjoys being together. We help our neighbors. We don’t destroy their homes and livelihoods, and when somebody else does we stand up against that act. We have our issues like any town, but riots and violence of this magnitude will not be tolerated.
I had the great privilege of growing up decades ago in Appalachia, growing practically everything we ate on a small farm. The people of the community shared tools, garden produce, aid during illness, everything. Even that place is no longer the same. I am happy that my children have opportunities I only came by later in life, but I also share as much of my years as possible with them so they comprehend what they do have.
@robertstephenson6806 I think it is fairly obvious this is a prepared, premeditated copy/paste provocation rather than an off-the-cuff participation in a friendly conversation.
Ya got me confused, Appalachia, Privilege? I've never heard those two words even spoken on the same day ! Well, Hows that Cartwright bunch doin out there ? now don't lie to me !
@@martinburns7928 It seems most people don't realize that a privilege is simply something that not everyone has the opportunity to experience, be it health, community, or wealth (the most widespread assumption nowadays).
@robertstephenson6806 You do realize that you are wasting your effort by writing 27 paragraph comments, right? Because as soon as anyone sees that you’re writing a novel they don’t even bother finishing the first paragraph. You may as well preach to the wall of your living room, and do you realize that your ranting about others’ iniquities is in direct violation of the admonishment by the God you claim to serve, “Judge not, lest ye be judged thyselves”??? I think that thou art a hypocrite, ye self proclaimed prophet.
Great analysis. I grew up in a small town in the Chicago metro area, and everyone looked out for each other. Didn't matter what color or religion you were. We were all about community. Some people don't like that these days, but I'm so glad I grew up where I did.❤
I've live in a small town of under a thousand people and this is just a beautiful song about that life. We take care of our own no matter what!!! Good morning Britt!!
I agree with you. I live in a predominantly African American area, and we all look out for each other. Doesn't matter the skin color. It's about taking care of one another, cause that's what good humans do. We stand together! The good against the bad. Lots of love to you!
Man, just from those two times you mimicked the guitar I can tell you have an incredible singing voice and mad vocal potential. I'd love to hear you sing a song you're passionate about.
I live in a small town in Kentucky (less than 8000 population) we are a diverse community of all races and creeds. We support each other. If you come into our town with malice on your mind, you will be dealt with.
I've always joked that in a small town, if you throw a rock, before it hits the ground, everyone knows about it 😂 People also live with values and don't act a fool. You need anything, the community is there. Someone getting attacked? Well people will step in.
Values? No, that’s your old reputation, way back when. Nowadays, most small towns are full of crackheads and methheads and heroin junkies …. You’re not fooling anyone!
We lived and worked in 3 small towns, each quite different for two decades. They each had lotsa community spirit, people never locked their doors, but in each there were NEVER any incidents of RESIDENTS TAKING THE LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS nor was that glorified like in this song! Residents WERE concerned about REAL issues plagues these places that hadn't elected a Democratic in 150 years. Real issues like HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, LOW WAGES, YOUNG FOLKS -- THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST -- ALL LEAVING, THE MEDIA MAKING FUN OF US AS LOSERS AND TRASHY, BOARDED UP BUSINESSES ON MAIN STREET, HIGH OBESITY RATES, CORRUPT POLICEMEN. Federal and state funds poured into these areas for empty regional, airports, empty rural highways, main street building renewal, and economic redevelopment, but nothing ever got better (meanwhile the pro-rural legislatures in these three states starved their big cities). Then the meth and opioid (now fentanyl laced pot) ravaged these towns since we left (NOT GANGS OR PROTESTORS). Both cities and small towns are full of good, caring people, not vigilantes or rioters (like the media distorts constantly). This song divides us by portray NON-PROBLEMS of suffering and dying small town. For example, Texas has long been the MOST URBANIZED STATE POPULATION but pretends its so folksy. There's no North or South anymore, only COUNTRY OR URBAN (ALL big cities ONLY elect Democrats) and the biggest migration wave today is Blacks moving back to Southern States to ESCAPE RACIST POLICE.
Wish I could give this video ten thumbs up. You’re right on point about the freedom we have in this country that just goes right over people’s heads. They don’t realize how good they have it. Loved the video. Keep up the great work!
Hey Brit, awesome song! Thanks for sharing. Jason is one of my favorite country artist. Your take on it is spot on. Also I love your energy and personality. Being easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either.😊
Respect people of color, people of other faiths or no religion, respect LGBT people, respect women making PERSONAL decisions about their bodies and lives.
Amazing how people start to believe in themselves and not letting fear/bullying influent their critical thinking. There is still hope yet for the subsequent generations.
As of yesterday, they cut out a part about farmers taking care of their own. It was quite emotional as the farmer who was talking was in a wheelchair and he was emotional. I don't know why they took it out. I love this song and the message it brings. The music is awesome.
I just subscribed to your channel after watching your video. You are truly a breath of fresh air amidst so much nonsense going on lately. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective of logic, reason and common sense.
True story of small town reality... My brother and I were traveling out of town, and stopped into a small town bar, complete strangers to everyone... Everybody we met was polite and gracious, and we both were polite and respectful in return, and we were both fully aware of "Small town mentality"... Then it all hit the fan.... One of the locals, drunk off his butt, and whom neither of us had even stood up, spun the bar stool my brother was sitting on and, in a drunkenly slurred voice, made a comment about my brother's long hair, and sucker punched him.... Unfortunately for the local, he failed to fully connect, but my brother "Connected" fully with his response, knocking the guy completely out cold... Then it was on... The whole town turned on both of us... We were the "Invaders" and "instigators" attacking them, and needed to be removed...We were now the "Bad guys in town"... We had to fight our way out of the bar... We had to sit for a couple of hours in the police station, but were never arrested... They eventually let us go, with no charges filed... Fortunately, we were sitting close to the cash register... Close enough that the whole incident was caught the bar's security camera, which was pointing at the register... Proved that we were just minding our own business, having positive interactions with other patrons in the bar, and not looking for trouble until trouble found us... Apparently, nobody had anything bad to say about us until after the "drunk" introduced himself... Unfortunately for us, word got around town that we were being released, and we were met with what could easily be described as a mob, surrounding our truck... Probably about 20 people in reality, but to us it looked like hundreds of people... My brother and I were thinking, "Here we go again"... We very soon found out, things were not as bad as it looked... Word had also got around what had actually happened... That we (More specifically, my brother) did not start anything, and that we were only defending ourselves... The mob was actually there to apologize to us for what had happened, and they even invited us to attend some celebration party the town was planning a few weeks later... We graciously accepted the apologies, but politely declined the invitation to come back... The "drunk" who started it all, who apparently had no charges filed on him by the local police, and who we declined to press charges on, was in the mob, and he apologized too... My brother and I got the distinct feeling he was only doing it out of "Peer pressure", like the other people in the town made him do it, but we both shook his hand and accepted the apology anyway. The owner of the bar even offered us free drinks if we wanted to go back there, but we politely turned it down too, opting instead to hit the road, and leave on a good, positive note... We silently just wanted to get out of there before anything else happened... As for the drunk, I have no idea how often he drank, his situation, his story, or anything about him other then how he acted that day... My brother, who has since passed on, and I let go of any judgement of him as soon as we got out of town... We never had any harsh judgement on the town people either... They were, except for the actions of one, all good people who had the back of one of their own, and when they got the whole story, they went out of their way to try and set things right... Can't argue with those kind of values...
As a girl that grew up in an extremely small town - i can say from the homework I've done on this video is 4 writers wrote this song - Jason wasn't one of them. Then for the video - there are people who look for the area to film. They were approved for this place. Jason and the band were just told - show up at this location to film. So- they did. They were glad because it wasn't too far from home. So as that girl from an extremely small town - i can say that every word was correct.
I disagree. If you know anything about Jason and his wife, they are as right wing racist as they come. They are not raised up right. They don't even know what the Civil war was about in my small north Georgia town. They think it's about southern pride. And the cops, if they don't like how you look, expect to be harassed. I wish I had your optimism but our freedoms are being taken little by little. Do you know what happened at that church they are filming in front of?
This song is a clear example of the power of the media. And the manipulation the media does. I have watched so many reaction videos for this song and everybody is left scratching there head. Questioning how this song is racist..
I just watched this reaction and felt compelled to comment. Your discussion was not only beautiful and sincere but also incredibly compelling and heartfelt. You have a wonderful way of connecting with your audience and reacting to the content with such genuine emotion. Please continue your excellent and honest work. It truly resonates and makes a difference.
This guy has a great message. Love it, support it, condone it, and I'm as fed up as many others are with the evil trying to just overrun good and decent people with their violence and hatred of their own country, and they can always leave if it's so bad here. We will stop them
Hi Britt! I found your channel by accident and, I love it. I'm 65 yrs old but, enjoy listening to your perspectives. You're such a lovely young lady, who keeps it real.

Oh, BTW, I live in a small town in KY. Lol ✌

I saw news footage of an incident that occurred in a small town (can't remember which town which providence in Canada) where the citizens lined up to keep ANTIFA from coming into their town.
First time finding your channel, i love your level headed thinking. Small towns are communities. They know everyone, help each other and will defend each other.
Amen to you Britt!!! So true! And like you said, when does this foolishness stop!! It's terrifying and people are living in fear. This will be an anthem for folks to believe that it needs to stop! ❤❤❤
Love ya Britt. In small town Oklahoma "good ole boys" means country boy and girl. "Good ole boys club" is totally different like sheriff's kid never got in trouble or mayor's family never could do anything wrong
The song is actually trying to prevent violence. If those who would riot and loot and destroy bring their "violence" to our small towns, these small town folks will show them what real violence is. Old saying: Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'.
Spot on. I left Kennesaw, GA in 2019 to move back to my hometown which is a very town. And you ma’am are spot on with your breakdown of this and unfortunately how Atlanta is now. I love that city very much, I lived there and Kennesaw for 10-15 yrs and miss it very much but with all the craziness and uncertainty that is goin there idk if my wife and I will be moving back anytime soon unfortunately. ( the picture of my wife and I that is my profile picture here was taken at Lake Acworth/ Alatoona in Acworth/Kennesaw)
John Mellencamp wrote a song in the 1980's, it's great!! Small Town Well, I was born in a small town And I live in a small town Probably die in a small town Oh, those small communities All my friends are so small town My parents live in the same small town My job is so small town Provides little opportunity, hey Educated in a small town Taught to fear of Jesus in a small town Used to daydream in that small town Another boring romantic, that's me But I've seen it all in a small town Had myself a ball in a small town Married an L.A. Doll and brought her to this small town Now she's small town just like me No, I cannot forget from where it is that I come from I cannot forget the people who love me Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town And people let me be just what I want to be Ooh nah, nah, nah, yeah, ooh yeah yeah Got nothing against a big town Still hayseed enough to say Look who's in the big town But my bed is in a small town Oh, and that's good enough for me Well, I was born in a small town And I can breathe in a small town Gonna die in a small town Oh, and that's probably where they'll bury me, yeah
First time watching your videos. You come across as an intelligent person. This isn't a rage against big cities it's a rage against violence. Mob mentalities take over more in larger groups which is more likely in larger cities as opposed to small towns. We all must stand up against violence where ever it takes place.
Thank You for such a candid reaction!!! To me, the majority of the violence shown was that of a mob or riot stemming from a protest and we all know, a mob doesn't have a color. It is simply a group of people who claim to be committed to a "cause" and they are willing to throw reason and restraint to the wind and act like the animals we once were. Maybe I'm way off base here, but that's what it looks like to me. Also, How many people profit from this sort of violence?
That courthouse was the site of a lynching in 1929, CBS and CMT are up in arms about it, but they don't mind their parent company Paramount used it for the film A Nashville Country Christmas or that the Myley Cyrus movie Hannah Montana used it. Hypocrisy
Thank you for making those points.. I'm from Los Angeles County. I am Mexican-American and I'm living in the epicenter of where gang banging was invented. From Latino street gangsters who eventually become South Siders in County jail and graduate to the Mexican Mafia in prison, the. Bloods and Crips. Becoming a gangster is not a victim of racism is a choice. I'm a successful man who had the same chances who grew up with those people I just mentioned. I have several childhood friends who grew up to be hardcore criminals. But that was their choice. No one forced them to commit robberies and murder people. Everything is a choice. We live in this great country. But we take it for granted. I believe we (Americans) are one of the most ungrateful people in the world.
Agreed, people here are so spoiled and have so much, but they're greedy, and all they want is more. In a University town in Missouri, buses full of people came to March. They were met by a sheriff who told them they were welcome to protest, but warned that they should not turn violent. These people, he told them are good people. But they are armed and have a right to use deadly force to protect life and property. The marchers marched around the town square twice and got back on their bus and left. It took about 7 minutes. They made their point, as they have a right to do peacefully. They remained peaceful, and they left intact. They seem to only get out of hand in cities where they know the mayors will ask the police to step down, and where prosecutors will not prosecute them.
@@tomemig7465 As all other protestors in America do! Are peaceful. Yet Trump ordered his goons (no name on them unmarked uniforms) fire rubber bullet and exploding grenades at a 100% peaceful crowd. Horse-ridders rode thru the crowd, too, the clear the street BEFORE THEIR PERMIT had expired, all so Trump could walk across the street to a church so he could hold a Bible upside down. American Nazis rioted and yelled "Jews will not replace us" in the middle of a peaceful demonstration in Charlottesville, VA (Trump: "There were good people on both sides."
Love this reaction! I live just OTP on the SE side. I was born and raised in a small town and it was definitely a culture shock for me when I moved here 3 years ago. Having not grown up here I don't know what it has been like in the past, but I don't know how it's gotten this bad! Your description of blatant disregard for authority and frankly blatant disregard for life is astonishing to me still. Again, I think you hit it on the head and great to see someone from down the road! Keep it up!
Britt, I really appreciated your point of view. You are the first review of the song that I've heard comment on how good the music is. It's got a groove you can tap your feet and nod your head to. Thank you!
THANK YOU JASON ALDEAN FOR THIS POWERFUL MESSAGE! KEEP SPEAKING THE TRUTH! GOD BLESS YOU AND AMERICA/USA! LOVE THIS SONG...TRY THAT IN A SMALL TOWN...I RECOMMEND YOU DON'T!!
Seeing the positive reactions to this song, I think all is not lost. There is still hope that they will not be able to impose the policy of hate, division and destruction of all the good things that we have in society. God bless you all!! ❤️🙏🙏 P.S. Greetings from Europe!
I can’t tell if this is written with sarcasm or not as art in its many forms has always drawn criticism from groups that find it “vulgar” or “offensive.” People thought Elvis’ dancing was offensive so they wouldn’t show his lower body on tv. Now there is always some variability as to what draws the ire of such groups over time but more often than not you can find plenty of people with a distaste for a song, an artist, a genre, an actor, a movie, etc.
I have watched many reactions to this video and no one seems to be offended or think it’s racist. I agree. Spent most of my life living in really small towns (went to a one room school in Idaho) and this just sounds like the truth to me. F around and find out what happens! Thanks 🙏🏼 👵🏼💜☮️
Right. I've checked, too. The Tennessean (surprisingly) published some of the most thoughtful, profound, and sobering critiques of this evil, manipulative song and cherry-picked video clips (including one of the infamous courthouses in America). "Hooray for Us" is such a compelling theme for sports fans and singer-celebrity concert attendees. But sports and entertainers stars are mere DISTRACTIONS in our often stressed out lives. But "We're the good guys and 80 million voters are totally evil" is fatal for American democracy surviving. We'll elect the first Demagogue tyrant who promises us economic security and safety from the bad guys. It's happening now all over the world, and freedom disappears forever!
What I've said to people that tell me this song incites violence is that there's a big difference between calling for violence and telling people you will stand up for yourself if they bring violence and chaos your way. Especially when you're saying that after the person or people your comments are directed to have been commiting a lot of violence and chaos. And as you stated, his examples of that violence in the visuals included people of multiple races and sexes. It isn't a song of white vs. black or man vs. woman. It is criminals and chaos vs. hard-working people that stand up for each other.
Funny thing is those same people likely bump Music that incites All sorts of violence, drug use, drugging women, shooting people, etc. The reality is that liberals are scared that people aren't buying their BS anymore and will start defending themselves when confronted with The BS Looting/Robbing and rioting that they do in liberal run cities. Which is why they only do so in their safe zones where police are told not to do anything to them.
The term "Good old boy" is not a bad term. When someone is referred to as a "good ol boy" it just means he has done everything right, will help you out when you need help, doesn't cause any problems, takes care of his family, he is just a GOOD-OL-BOY. A good guy. At least that is what it means to me. Kind of like a "Good Ol dog" You know.....It's southern thang.
It does depend on the context. Good ol boys could just mean locals. I've also seen it referenced to things like hiring practices or police actions. The good ol boy network. I believe in this context he was just talking about the small community mindset.
@@sandracox43414341 I can see that too. All I know is that when I refer to someone as a "Good ol boy" that just means he is a good guy. Nothing more, nothing less.
Why I live rural and retired now! My family is Korean and we live in Bluff City, IL!!!! 🥰🥰. One of my few neighbors is Filipino, good friend of mine who lives 4 miles south of me is black!!!! We all feel the same way “Try that in a small town”!!!!!!!! Please do!
Thank you, Britt. Just, thank you. For your clear-eyed and honest opinion/reaction. This is a big reason I live in the country just outside a small town. Slower pace, less hassle, almost no B. S. In '21, a small group of armed Antifa losers gathered on the corner of the main intersection in town. Across the street was a group of armed residents about 10x the size. Nothing happened and the losers have not been back. Almost 70% of adults here have a 'concealed carry' permit. In '22 there was 0 murders in the entire county. Same so far in '23. Just sayin'.
the last one minute of this video are gold
thank you so much! glad you enjoyed!
Love you take on thus. So refreshing heartfelt & relatable. Especially the nyc youth part lol
Fools gold
I agree. Peace, Love!!
I love this song so much.
We can only be divided if we let them divide us
@@NotStanleyTucci No, the hatemongering race baiters, who, BTW, are getting filthy rich pushing that narrative, are the ones who are trying to divide us.
In my small town all of the races get along and help each other out. That's the way it should be.
@@NotStanleyTucci correct. The division is between violent criminals and law abiding citizens NOT race.
@@NotStanleyTucci I don't want to be grouped with criminals. I do want to be grouped with good people of all races.
@zen21tao but to suggest no violent criminals live in small towns which are predominantly white, has a racist connotation.
@robertranco see it however you want. It's that attitude that fans the flame of division.
Are you filled with that much hate that you're completely blind? Or are you just playing dumb to be an ignorant troll?
I'm from Knoxville TN which is a pretty big city, but it consists of a lot of small, diverse communities. And we take care of each other regardless of race, religion, or political views. The song is simply saying, "Keep your crime away from us because we don't play that game here."
I agree I'm from a small town and we help anyone regardless of background but you mess with one of us you mess with all of us
Is Jacobs still the Mayor?
Then why does the video not focus on crime, but instead on protests, which is our first amendment cherished right that dictators prohibit immediately. Protecting our own is what White Supremacies, fascists, militia, Proud Boys, vigilantes, and folks just looking for a fight (especially if it's 10 on 1). That's not moral values nor is it supporting "law and order." It's cowardly mob rule. There's safety in following the mob, it can even be thrilling. It's great being positive we're always on the right side of exactly 2 sides, best settled by violence instead of wimpy, boring negotiation, reasoned discussion, and compromise.
Too me the most racist thing regarding this song is to say it's racist cuz your implying you only see blacks as criminals
@@cameronpresley5771 County mayor, yes
Im black and from a small town in Ga. We all look out for one another and our kids. When we pass eachother on the roads we wave. We see someone with a flat tire we stop and help. All the stuff u wont find in a city. So dnt bring ur shenanigans here bc you be delt with by all of us not just white or black. I love it here. When u walk in a bank they know ur 1st and last name. Way to go Jason Aldean, most of us agree with his message and praying for his continued success...🙏🏽🙏🏽
I remember a film clip from the summer of the BLM and Antifa riots. One of those groups was walking through a small town. Their streets were lined with men holding guns watching them walk through their town and the message was clear……don’t mess around here and keep walking. The men holding the guns were completely silent and their guns were pointed at the ground. Those who support the rioters hate it because it completely negates their tactics and message. This is why we need our second amendment. It is a deterrent against tyranny. Love all your reactions Brittney.
In Idaho I think
If you are referring to Snohomish Wa, I was of the people lining the streets, heavily armed! It was a great site to see, everyone coming together to protect the town. I now live in a very small town in north Idaho, we are a very tight community that would protect this town at any cost.
I live in a fairly small town. There was a BLM protest of around 15 people walking around the courthouse with signs. They were peaceful and people respected their right to free speech. They didn’t block traffic, scream obscenities, vandalize property, etc.. and no one threatened or intimidated them. It was all as it should be.
Kalispell Montana did the same thing, they were unloading their gear and the rolling coal group if you will met up with this group and told them pack up and we'll escort you out of here, and even gave them an armored convoy escort out of the state. Hwy 2 was blocked off at certain points and times by our own Highway Patrol and Sheriff's Department for their 121 Mile journey out. Now, that was to be honored.
The message of BLM was pretty clear. You seem to be creating a false narrative that it was about violence.
There's a lot of black people here in smaller towns. We ALL take care of each other, it's called FAMILY. Family doesn't have a color. I have a mixed family.
Yep super mixed in the Great State of Tennessee as a tenth generation Tennessean and proud of all our heritage! Scotts-Irish Choctaw with African American mixed children , grandchildren,nieces,inlaws and all . ..RACES DONT EXIST. .. FAMILY DOES!!!
amen. i have never judged by color..friends from everywhere. this is about the criminals who try to justify violence with the term protest. They got handed theirs in Wisconsin and when they protest marched here in Indiana small town, they were greeted with armed residents on porches..go ahead..try it chumps
Amen
Britt, I grew up on a farm in a small town community in N, GA. We saw no skin color. If a neighbor needed help, everyone dropped what they were doing and RUSHED to render Help ! No questions asked.. It didn't matter of skin color ! We took care of our neighbors !! We were raised in Christian Family's and Church. Love Ya Girl.. Just subbed your site.. BTW,, I found the same thing in the Military. We would give everything including our lives for our Family and Friends. HooAH !
@sgttombailes3380 Completely agree i was brought up not even seeing color and in the USN we where all brothers black white brown no matter what ....
@@texanaggiethank you for your service brother, I was USN 2001-2012
relax man, you can walk to your neighbour. no need to run and rush
@@rodneyedwards4230 I'll second that comment. When we were at sea you couldn't go very far from the problems so they had to be dealt with. I was USN 1966 to 1977 on the West Coast and westward. Vietnam was calling...
Britt was talking about small towns and the difference when you looked at the environment in a much larger urban city. In the small town I've lived near since my family moved there in 1966, you figured it out fairly quickly. The Deputy Sheriffs knew your neighbors, your parents, most of the grandparents, and didn't have to go screaming down the road in their cruiser, they just drove to your families place and talked with your parents until you wandered in... oops!! An old friend of mine built a tube frame go-kart with a Briggs & Stratton engine he put on it. He used to go ripping around the neighborhood until he saw a cop and he'd zip off on a side road and disappear. This worked about twice. The third time, he laughed when he thought he'd out run the Sheriff's car and headed for home. When he came around the corner, that white cruiser was sitting in his driveway and Deputy was talking with his mother!! He know the jig was up and slowly pulled up past the cop and said "Hi" to his mom. That didn't cut it at all. She told the Deputy, "I'll take care of this." She told her son to park it in the shed and go to his room. She sold his go-kart and he rode a bicycle for the next couple of years. That was small town living in the sixties & seventies.
Amen Brother! I'm from small town Iowa and it was MUCH the same. Oh and BTW< I'm also retired military. The majority of the members in the services are from small towns, all across this great nation!
I’m from Forest Park, Georgia which is near Macon where Jason Aldean grew up. He is not being racist but talking about the community and how we take care of our own. It’s just the way we are. We have to stop letting the mainstream media and politicians divide us.
AMEN!
Encouraging violence and vigilatism is always wrong, no matter how frustrated people may be. We can be better than this.
@@DocRock71who's encouraging any of that? He's warning criminals that pulling their bs in a small town would be a mistake. Cops and courts don't play either.
@@DocRock71Self-protection is not vigilantism, which in my mind is seeking out someone to inflict retribution on. Cops are standing down in these big cities when flash mobs and riots are occurring in places like my birthplace of Chicago. And this is on the orders of Dem Mayors! So with your brilliant philosophy people should just lie down. ANTIFA and BLM are terrorist groups run by Deep-State Dims. They even bully fellow Dems that don't do their bidding! So this is about not being a victim to their tactics. It's not about political parties anymore; it's good versus evil.
@@randyrenner7643 He aint talking about courts and cops! Come on now. 🙄
He is right. Criminals don’t belong in anyone’s towns
Neither do vigilantes
... as vigilantes ARE criminals.
@@sooankim9247 Sorry to break it to you, but self defense is NOT vililantyism. The message is that small towns do not tolerate violence the way cities do. While police were told not to interfere with the riot and looting in cities, small town law enforcement wont look the other way. Criminals will be arrest, charged, tried and sentenced to the fullest extent in small towns.
Especially when the criminals run the town.
@@zen21tao Stupidity and violation of civil rights are crimes, even to protect a small town!
Hands down, the BEST reaction to this song! And you hit the nail on the head, my friend. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with race or political opinion. It's about having each other's backs!
I'll give you an example from my personal experience: I live in a town of around 6,000. We're 48% white, 39% black, with the remainder being Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, etc.
A few years ago, there was a 30yr old black guy who stopped on the highway (4 lane, 65mph) to move a piece of debris so that nobody hit it & potentially wreaked. A young white guy was driving along & hit him. He died on the way to the hospital. State Police determined that the driver was NOT on his phone, was NOT speeding, & there were skid marks showing that he tried to stop. It was just a horrible accident. BUT, the driver made some racists comments to his friend via snapchat. The friend screenshoted them & posted them on Facebook. The town was in an UPROAR! People were talking about protests & possible violence.
The man who was killed owned a barber shop. But it wasn't in great shape. His family needed help to keep it going with him gone. The entire community came together to completely renovate & update his shop. Local businesses stepped up & donated flooring, equipment, etc. Local contractors did the work for free. When it was finished, they threw a huge grand reopening & community wide BBQ.
The racist little twerp who hit him...he was basically run out of town. He left the STATE. He was made well aware that he wasn't welcome.
THAT is small town life. We go to the same stores, the same Churches, movie theater, bowling alley. Our kids go to school together, play ball together, take ballet together. You don't get that in a city. THAT is what this song is about!
*I'll accept my award for longest comment now.🤣🤣
👏👏👏👏👏
I will give u a award for showing that America is NOT a racist country.
I like her
What on earth are you talking about ???? 39% Try 16% black there more Mexicans here then there are black and more coming every day. 76% white are you that stupid ??? If there a race war in America you losing big time. I would strongly suggest that you educate your self. Democrat want you to get stupid. You think the democrat are for black people ??? Democrat fought to keep slavery. It was Abraham Lincon Republican that Freed the slaves From the Democrats. Democrats made the kkk Look it up It's called History.
while your looking up History look up the word Fascism. To Stop an opposing view from speaking. Democrats.
But Republicans are like If you too stupid to educate yourself then F around and find out. Sad day when that Happens. Democrats lie and your so stupid you believe them with out looking it up for your self.
@@RyuS-kw4dl Dude, I have no clue what you're talking about! 1st, I'm a white female & VERY Conservative.
2nd, my TOWN is 39% black according to Census numbers. I never said anything about the NATIONAL figures.
3rd, What Democrat view could you possibly have gotten from my comment. There was nothing political about it AT ALL. It was a story about neighbors helping neighbors & not caring about race/politics/religion/social status...just caring about other human beings. I can't figure out why you'd have a problem with that or how that makes me "stupid"! 🤔
I heard no ramblings! Just an intelligent young woman with a very thoughtful response to the video. And might I add if more people were this thoughtful it would take care of much of the division in this country. God bless you Britt!!
"Good Old Boys" That term has been around for a long time. It means a group of rural young men known by most of the area's population as high spirited, boisterous and sometimes over rowdy pranksters who would drop everything to help anyone in the community. Nothing to do with creek squad or any hate group.
"Just a good ole boys, no meaning no harm" Intro to a famous TV show from the 80's. I couldn't agree more.
Facts
@@dzydvl76it's JUST THE GOOD OLE BOYS, NEVER MEANIN NO HARM. Tell me you've never listened to Waylon without telling me....
For me, Good old boys will always be associated with the intro to the Dukes of Hazzard. I can appreciate that there may be other , even negative, associations with the term ( in politics for example), but that’s where my mind always goes.
When the line about the good old boys comes up. And it shows the guy in the store that grabs the gun. That is an actual event. It was a Marine that stopped an armed robbery.
Such a wholesome reaction. You are a wonderfully sweet gal. Btw keep that smile.
I have watched many of your videos and you are so down to earth and real with your thinking.
You are so SPOT ON!! In my little neighborhood, when I was sick last yr, I put a message on our neighborhood FB page, one of my neighbors, dropped off chicken soup, crackers, Gatorade on my back porch. I still dont know who the kind person was, so, I was never able to pay them back. I just try to pay it forward whenever I can. That's what community does. I am so grateful for the community I live in.
You got the message right thank you iam proud of you. Every race has good and bad. Why we as a nation put up with the minority of trouble makers is beyond me we need to take back our towns and our nation. We need to prosecute the wrong doers including law enforcement if they do wrong .
I would to state that all humans have good and bad. No race needs to be stared.
And politicians!
He turned a blind eye to the capital inserection
Prosecuting law enforcement is the tricky part. If they did it, were in on it, or helped to cover it up, we're lucky if we even find out about it.
@@PhilCarson-ge8nd Absolutely not! Keep in mind...Jan 6th was broadcast and talked about over and over and over by your MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, The coverage on Jan 6th was was far greater and criticized way more then the riots were by these networks. If you want i can send you clips on how light and down played the riots were by the news outlets Calling them mostly peaceful protest with cars burning in the background behind reporter. Many on Jan 6th were arrested and some have lengthy sentences.
Hell, you had Kamala Harris on tv telling us all...."their not gonna stop" When she should have been condemning them.
Can we say the same about the riots? I know there were some arrest. Only to learn many were released very quickly.
Look, Jan 6th was wrong period and those perpetrators are paying for their crimes. This song by Jason gives the exposure on the the riots that it lacked from the media. So, don't even try your crap about blind eye on Jan 6th. Far greater damage and innocent lives destroyed by the riots.
Jan 6th has been well exposed and covered. Time to even the playing field.
I'm a small town Georgia❤ girl myself. We won't have that foolishness around here. We take care of each other and have each others back.
If we were all that way with compassion maybe the world would be just a little bit better. ❤Love this song!
I live in a safe placein canton mi, with 2 acres, we all have guns, but i would back anyone up , doesntnt matter color of skin, we all bleed red, right. Now if we can get all these kids on board.
I'm 65, grew up in a biracial home in a time when it was unacceptable. It is a shame that in todays society that we have so many race baiters that will try to find anything to keep the hatred going. Their main focus in this song was about the building in the background being a sight of a lynching that took place in the 1920's -1940's (don't have exact date) , but they don't mention the fact that several events and movies without issue i might add, have used that same site because it doesn't fit the narrative they want to push.
You mean like what's about to happen in Florida, where they're going to teach children that there were benefits to slavery?
One, in 1927.
I had no idea that happened there. Thanks for sharing that
Germany: hold my beer
ALSO From the same history of the Maury County Courthouse: On June 15, 1904, the ground was broken for the new building. The cornerstone was set a few months later on October 8th by Dick Porter, a man estimated to be over 120 years of age. As a slave, he worked on the two previous courthouses in 1808 and 1846. Now, as a free man, he was selected to lay the first trowel of mortar on the cornerstone.
My family and I have that same mentality, like “You mess with one, you mess with the whole bunch”. My dad actually told someone that once. He said, “Just so you know, if you mess with Garrett, you mess with 30-something other people”. I thank God for where I grew up and the environment I grew up in.
Sunny Hostin of The View tried to claim that Macon Georgia is the most racist place in the US. She was implying that it's all white cowboys like Jason Aldean. What she didn't know is that Macon is majority black.
So you’ll kill somebody for no reason or your ok where the video was shot where there was a lynching a long time ago of black people. Plus your ok with storming the US Capitol because that’s what he’s talking about.
Also, the man in that mini mart that disarmed the criminal was a marine veteran, he was doing what he was trained to do & protected life. ❤❤
Brother, in all due respect, please Capitalize the M in Marine. I think we have MORE than earned that much respect!

Violence should never be condoned no matter where you live. There is a huge difference between protests and violence.
Who's condoning it? The radical left? Oh gotcha. Misinterpreted your comment, sorry.
Unfortunately, our current administration condones it.
There is a huge difference between protest and violence......until the protests turn violent.
@@martinklaus2203 Ya, I think most rational people consider it a riot once a protest turns violent. I could be mistaken tho. I know that's the line for me.
@@martinklaus2203 Like many of the BLM riots that ended up with burning up private businesses (some from their own community) and other violent acts.
"Someone who wants to look for the bad in Things" look no further than the View!
"Try That in a Small Town" is the message of the Decade! J A Rocks!
Your commentary is on point. This song is about how anonymous bad actors may commit violence and lawlessness with impunity in a big city, but that kind of behavior doesn't fly in a small town.
Rioters in big cities WERE prosecuted, again you push a LIE hoping the ignorant will not research the facts.
Martina McBride did a song called "Independence Day" - if you don't know it, take a look at the B&W official video. Then explain to me what Jason Aldean's grandpa's gun did to help that family. "Some folks whispered, some folks talked, but everybody looked the other way." Then, rickybobbytexas, please explain exactly what Jason Aldean's grandpa's gun did to help Ahmaud Arbery. Young black man out for a run, and three Georgia crackers hunted him down like an animal, for sport. Wouldn't be surprised if one or another of those men used their grandpa's gun to shoot him dead. How 'bout that small town where some college kids in upstate NY went in the wrong driveway, and got shot, one of them died, as they were backing out? How did Jason Aldean's grandpa's gun play out in that incident? I could go on, with innumberable examples. He's singing about "We better not see you here when the sun goes down" like it's a good thing.
Agreed but the song is also a bit delusional in implying that a small town will have the resources to deal with that many angry people at once. 1 or a small group of people will absolutely be dealt with quick but the stuff happening in big cities was wild in the number of people involved.
@@rtg97229that's what vollies and fire hoses are for.
Beautifully said. It brings me so much joy when people see truth and are brave enough to speak it.
We need to protect each other, our communities, our homes, our children, our parents, our grandparents, our neighbors, we are stronger together than apart. This is about having a moral compass. Thanks Britt for reaching out with so much common sense. We cannot let violence and fear guide us. We all have to stick together. We all deserve a safe place to be with our family.
1850 is never coming back.
Enjoyed to hear someone like you who is in touch with reality reacted to this song. We all should have such things you pointed out in common. Freedom is a beautiful thing and to do things to undermine and destroy it is shameful.
Thank you !
I couldn't help but smile watching you enjoying the beat. Looks like Jason has another new fan.
Doesn't matter what skin tone our neighbors have, we look out for each other against hardships and evil doers. We want our neighbors to be happy, healthy and safe. God Bless you!
But "our own" is usually our just our friends and family or white supremacy. How come it's never about our common enemy, giant monopoly corporations (big oil, big pharma, big food processors, big tech) or the handful of super billionaires who are confident they can control who we hate and fear (by owning Fox News, OAN, NewsMax) as easily as they've rigged our economy. I guess big tough small town folks turn into wimpy cowards when it comes to corporations (unless less it's InBev who bought and Busch diluted Bud Light YEAR AGO or Chick-Fil-A, the most Bible-thumping anti-Dem corporation).
You go girl, you get it! No racism at all in this song! Your description was spot on and I stand with him and you!!
I'm not a country music fan by any means but the more I hear this song, the more I love it. Thanks for giving a fresh and honest opinion of small town values.
Of course you love it. A white, entitled girl loving a song by a white man where he's singing in front of a court house where blacks were lynched. Right up your alley.
If we all stick together we will be unstoppable! Love is what makes the world go around that's what we do in a small town
Who, the good ol boys you mean? Did he think that would be acceptable? Among whites, I'm sure, but that lyric doesn't include any other race ,but white! If he wanted to glorify the site of that lynching, he should have left that lyric out!
Yes I completely agree, and this is not insinuating anything against race or creed or gender, it’s about us taking care of each other. I was raised in a farming community outside of a small town and, if there was any trouble we took care of each other whether it was a field on fire or a family that was down on their luck that needed food, we took care of our community ❤
You are amazing! It has been crazy cool to see the black community step up! than you!
The black community peacefully protests and rightwingers RANT AGAINST IT.
All I know is this song is starting conversations and showing that us Americans have more in common than we're led to believe.
As a Jew from New York City I can tell you it’s insane here. It’s been that way since I was ten years old. I’m almost twenty nine years old now. And I have no tolerance for it. Thanks for the reaction, Brittreacts.
Exactly right, he's talking about everyone who acts a fool. I grew up in a small town desert California. everyone knows everybody. Even the gang members don't mess with civilians. I'm not even into country and I Love this song.
Amen Britt!! You are spot on in your reaction. This is about all Americans; let’s get back to supporting, loving and respecting each other. ❤Thank you for reacting to this song. God Bless you and your family.
Britt, this was one of my favorite reactions to this song that I've seen so far. You are right on the money, and I appreciate how thoughtful you are. Keep up the great content!
Jason isn’t wrong. That is literally my small town. He’s singing in front of my local courthouse. I was working 1 block away when this was filmed. Jason is a member of our community. A community that is filled with every single ethnicity imaginable.
Nothing happened in Columbia during the riots because our community knows that riots only hurt our fellow neighbors which in turn only hurts ourselves. Riots are pointless and unacceptable in our community. We are spending time, money, and effort to renovate and improve our town. We have community events where everyone is welcome and everyone enjoys being together. We help our neighbors. We don’t destroy their homes and livelihoods, and when somebody else does we stand up against that act. We have our issues like any town, but riots and violence of this magnitude will not be tolerated.
Rubes will be Rubes.
Do you know what happened at that courthouse in 1927? Look it up.
He is singing in front of your courthouse that is infamous for lynchings back in the day.
Girl you are lucky 😍
@@harrytryon6782 you can find that everywhere, what should that court be taken down lmao 🤡
They took out part of the video. A disabled man is telling us that when you need help, there are people to help you. Those people are your neighbors.
I had the great privilege of growing up decades ago in Appalachia, growing practically everything we ate on a small farm. The people of the community shared tools, garden produce, aid during illness, everything. Even that place is no longer the same. I am happy that my children have opportunities I only came by later in life, but I also share as much of my years as possible with them so they comprehend what they do have.
same here growing up in rural Georgia ✌💖☮
@robertstephenson6806 I think it is fairly obvious this is a prepared, premeditated copy/paste provocation rather than an off-the-cuff participation in a friendly conversation.
Ya got me confused, Appalachia, Privilege? I've never heard those two words even spoken on the same day ! Well, Hows that Cartwright bunch doin out there ? now don't lie to me !
@@martinburns7928 It seems most people don't realize that a privilege is simply something that not everyone has the opportunity to experience, be it health, community, or wealth (the most widespread assumption nowadays).
@robertstephenson6806
You do realize that you are wasting your effort by writing 27 paragraph comments, right? Because as soon as anyone sees that you’re writing a novel they don’t even bother finishing the first paragraph. You may as well preach to the wall of your living room, and do you realize that your ranting about others’ iniquities is in direct violation of the admonishment by the God you claim to serve, “Judge not, lest ye be judged thyselves”??? I think that thou art a hypocrite, ye self proclaimed prophet.
It was a real joy watching your video. We all just want peace, love and happiness!
Great analysis. I grew up in a small town in the Chicago metro area, and everyone looked out for each other. Didn't matter what color or religion you were. We were all about community. Some people don't like that these days, but I'm so glad I grew up where I did.❤
Great reaction. I appreciate your perspective and your honesty in taking the song and video on face value. Thanks!
I've live in a small town of under a thousand people and this is just a beautiful song about that life. We take care of our own no matter what!!! Good morning Britt!!
You are great. This is the first video I’ve come across of yours. But I will be tuning in more often.
I agree with you. I live in a predominantly African American area, and we all look out for each other. Doesn't matter the skin color. It's about taking care of one another, cause that's what good humans do. We stand together! The good against the bad. Lots of love to you!
Man, just from those two times you mimicked the guitar I can tell you have an incredible singing voice and mad vocal potential. I'd love to hear you sing a song you're passionate about.
I 'm from Georgia also. I've lived in small towns, but now in a small city, and yes very big difference
I live in a small town in Kentucky (less than 8000 population) we are a diverse community of all races and creeds. We support each other. If you come into our town with malice on your mind, you will be dealt with.
I've always joked that in a small town, if you throw a rock, before it hits the ground, everyone knows about it 😂 People also live with values and don't act a fool. You need anything, the community is there. Someone getting attacked? Well people will step in.
Values? No, that’s your old reputation, way back when. Nowadays, most small towns are full of crackheads and methheads and heroin junkies …. You’re not fooling anyone!
We lived and worked in 3 small towns, each quite different for two decades. They each had lotsa community spirit, people never locked their doors, but in each there were NEVER any incidents of RESIDENTS TAKING THE LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS nor was that glorified like in this song! Residents WERE concerned about REAL issues plagues these places that hadn't elected a Democratic in 150 years. Real issues like HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, LOW WAGES, YOUNG FOLKS -- THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST -- ALL LEAVING, THE MEDIA MAKING FUN OF US AS LOSERS AND TRASHY, BOARDED UP BUSINESSES ON MAIN STREET, HIGH OBESITY RATES, CORRUPT POLICEMEN. Federal and state funds poured into these areas for empty regional, airports, empty rural highways, main street building renewal, and economic redevelopment, but nothing ever got better (meanwhile the pro-rural legislatures in these three states starved their big cities). Then the meth and opioid (now fentanyl laced pot) ravaged these towns since we left (NOT GANGS OR PROTESTORS). Both cities and small towns are full of good, caring people, not vigilantes or rioters (like the media distorts constantly). This song divides us by portray NON-PROBLEMS of suffering and dying small town. For example, Texas has long been the MOST URBANIZED STATE POPULATION but pretends its so folksy. There's no North or South anymore, only COUNTRY OR URBAN (ALL big cities ONLY elect Democrats) and the biggest migration wave today is Blacks moving back to Southern States to ESCAPE RACIST POLICE.
Wish I could give this video ten thumbs up. You’re right on point about the freedom we have in this country that just goes right over people’s heads. They don’t realize how good they have it. Loved the video. Keep up the great work!
Hey Brit, awesome song! Thanks for sharing. Jason is one of my favorite country artist. Your take on it is spot on. Also I love your energy and personality. Being easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either.😊
Love ya,girl… you get it… it’s about community…having values. Having respect for ourselves and others!
Respect people of color, people of other faiths or no religion, respect LGBT people, respect women making PERSONAL decisions about their bodies and lives.
@@treetopjones737 Respect everyone. That includes white people, Christians, conservatives on top of all the groups you listed.
Amazing how people start to believe in themselves and not letting fear/bullying influent their critical thinking. There is still hope yet for the subsequent generations.
As of yesterday, they cut out a part about farmers taking care of their own. It was quite emotional as the farmer who was talking was in a wheelchair and he was emotional. I don't know why they took it out. I love this song and the message it brings. The music is awesome.
Perfect reaction!! Thank you! Common sense goes a long way!
I just subscribed to your channel after watching your video. You are truly a breath of fresh air amidst so much nonsense going on lately. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective of logic, reason and common sense.
True story of small town reality... My brother and I were traveling out of town, and stopped into a small town bar, complete strangers to everyone... Everybody we met was polite and gracious, and we both were polite and respectful in return, and we were both fully aware of "Small town mentality"...
Then it all hit the fan....
One of the locals, drunk off his butt, and whom neither of us had even stood up, spun the bar stool my brother was sitting on and, in a drunkenly slurred voice, made a comment about my brother's long hair, and sucker punched him.... Unfortunately for the local, he failed to fully connect, but my brother "Connected" fully with his response, knocking the guy completely out cold...
Then it was on...
The whole town turned on both of us... We were the "Invaders" and "instigators" attacking them, and needed to be removed...We were now the "Bad guys in town"... We had to fight our way out of the bar... We had to sit for a couple of hours in the police station, but were never arrested... They eventually let us go, with no charges filed...
Fortunately, we were sitting close to the cash register... Close enough that the whole incident was caught the bar's security camera, which was pointing at the register... Proved that we were just minding our own business, having positive interactions with other patrons in the bar, and not looking for trouble until trouble found us... Apparently, nobody had anything bad to say about us until after the "drunk" introduced himself...
Unfortunately for us, word got around town that we were being released, and we were met with what could easily be described as a mob, surrounding our truck... Probably about 20 people in reality, but to us it looked like hundreds of people... My brother and I were thinking, "Here we go again"...
We very soon found out, things were not as bad as it looked...
Word had also got around what had actually happened... That we (More specifically, my brother) did not start anything, and that we were only defending ourselves... The mob was actually there to apologize to us for what had happened, and they even invited us to attend some celebration party the town was planning a few weeks later... We graciously accepted the apologies, but politely declined the invitation to come back...
The "drunk" who started it all, who apparently had no charges filed on him by the local police, and who we declined to press charges on, was in the mob, and he apologized too... My brother and I got the distinct feeling he was only doing it out of "Peer pressure", like the other people in the town made him do it, but we both shook his hand and accepted the apology anyway.
The owner of the bar even offered us free drinks if we wanted to go back there, but we politely turned it down too, opting instead to hit the road, and leave on a good, positive note... We silently just wanted to get out of there before anything else happened...
As for the drunk, I have no idea how often he drank, his situation, his story, or anything about him other then how he acted that day... My brother, who has since passed on, and I let go of any judgement of him as soon as we got out of town... We never had any harsh judgement on the town people either... They were, except for the actions of one, all good people who had the back of one of their own, and when they got the whole story, they went out of their way to try and set things right... Can't argue with those kind of values...
Hell of a good story!
Ya just that a story
As a girl that grew up in an extremely small town - i can say from the homework I've done on this video is 4 writers wrote this song - Jason wasn't one of them. Then for the video - there are people who look for the area to film. They were approved for this place. Jason and the band were just told - show up at this location to film. So- they did. They were glad because it wasn't too far from home.
So as that girl from an extremely small town - i can say that every word was correct.
I disagree. If you know anything about Jason and his wife, they are as right wing racist as they come. They are not raised up right. They don't even know what the Civil war was about in my small north Georgia town. They think it's about southern pride. And the cops, if they don't like how you look, expect to be harassed. I wish I had your optimism but our freedoms are being taken little by little. Do you know what happened at that church they are filming in front of?
I love your reaction...the minute you started bobbing your head to the music I hit the like button. Wow, you sing really good too!
This song is a clear example of the power of the media. And the manipulation the media does. I have watched so many reaction videos for this song and everybody is left scratching there head. Questioning how this song is racist..
I just watched this reaction and felt compelled to comment. Your discussion was not only beautiful and sincere but also incredibly compelling and heartfelt. You have a wonderful way of connecting with your audience and reacting to the content with such genuine emotion. Please continue your excellent and honest work. It truly resonates and makes a difference.
This guy has a great message. Love it, support it, condone it, and I'm as fed up as many others are with the evil trying to just overrun good and decent people with their violence and hatred of their own country, and they can always leave if it's so bad here. We will stop them
Hi Britt! I found your channel by accident and, I love it. I'm 65 yrs old but, enjoy listening to your perspectives. You're such a lovely young lady, who keeps it real. Yes, we need the 60's vibes back. All about peace, love and harmony. I think our younger people should start a movement! They'd see how quick our generation would join you. Oh, BTW, I live in a small town in KY. Lol ✌
“If you want to look for the bad in it, you’re just a person who wants to look for the bad in things” ❤️
You are amazing and thank you for taking the time to share your reaction with us.
I love all of your videos☺️
Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
This song is respectful of life and personal property.
🤩❤️🔥🇨🇦as a village raised Northern Albertan I approve if this song. It wasn't perfect, but when it counted we had each other's backs
Hey fellow Canadian. Ottawa here. 👍🏻🇨🇦🫶
I saw news footage of an incident that occurred in a small town (can't remember which town which providence in Canada) where the citizens lined up to keep ANTIFA from coming into their town.
First time finding your channel, i love your level headed thinking. Small towns are communities. They know everyone, help each other and will defend each other.
Amen to you Britt!!! So true! And like you said, when does this foolishness stop!! It's terrifying and people are living in fear. This will be an anthem for folks to believe that it needs to stop! ❤❤❤
Love ya Britt. In small town Oklahoma "good ole boys" means country boy and girl. "Good ole boys club" is totally different like sheriff's kid never got in trouble or mayor's family never could do anything wrong
I am from South Mississippi and I totally agree and those comments meant the same thing here!
In the small town where I'm from it was the pastor's kids who got away with everything.
The sheriff's kid spent the night in jail to learn a lesson.
love your take on this.
The song is actually trying to prevent violence.
If those who would riot and loot and destroy bring their "violence" to our small towns, these small town folks will show them what real violence is.
Old saying: Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'.
If you're from a small town you know one of the most beautiful things is how people always step up to help take care of the elders.
Spot on. I left Kennesaw, GA in 2019 to move back to my hometown which is a very town. And you ma’am are spot on with your breakdown of this and unfortunately how Atlanta is now. I love that city very much, I lived there and Kennesaw for 10-15 yrs and miss it very much but with all the craziness and uncertainty that is goin there idk if my wife and I will be moving back anytime soon unfortunately. ( the picture of my wife and I that is my profile picture here was taken at Lake Acworth/ Alatoona in Acworth/Kennesaw)
You're a breath of fresh air.... enjoyed your message....iloquent.
Small towns stand up for each other, because they know each other. Great song.
Hey Britt. Congratulations on your coming addition. 🥰🥰🥰
This song has hit this country like no other for years! We feel like you do, we want good for each other because we care and love.
Britt, you’re totally adorable!! Your facial honesty is enjoyable to watch. I think tour read of this song spot on.
John Mellencamp wrote a song in the 1980's, it's great!!
Small Town
Well, I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Probably die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity, hey
Educated in a small town
Taught to fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic, that's me
But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. Doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me
No, I cannot forget from where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
Ooh nah, nah, nah, yeah, ooh yeah yeah
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me
Well, I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in a small town
Oh, and that's probably where they'll bury me, yeah
Thank you so much. Safety is deserved by everyone. That's all this is about.
First time watching your videos. You come across as an intelligent person. This isn't a rage against big cities it's a rage against violence. Mob mentalities take over more in larger groups which is more likely in larger cities as opposed to small towns. We all must stand up against violence where ever it takes place.
Thank You for such a candid reaction!!! To me, the majority of the violence shown was that of a mob or riot stemming from a protest and we all know, a mob doesn't have a color. It is simply a group of people who claim to be committed to a "cause" and they are willing to throw reason and restraint to the wind and act like the animals we once were. Maybe I'm way off base here, but that's what it looks like to me. Also, How many people profit from this sort of violence?
Profit was the only motive.
100%
@@katayfayep blm made millions of dollars and never gave a cent to the black community. Wonder why!
"I recommend you don't." Love his voice on those lyrics. 😊
That courthouse was the site of a lynching in 1929, CBS and CMT are up in arms about it, but they don't mind their parent company Paramount used it for the film A Nashville Country Christmas or that the Myley Cyrus movie Hannah Montana used it. Hypocrisy
Thank you for making those points.. I'm from Los Angeles County. I am Mexican-American and I'm living in the epicenter of where gang banging was invented. From Latino street gangsters who eventually become South Siders in County jail and graduate to the Mexican Mafia in prison, the. Bloods and Crips. Becoming a gangster is not a victim of racism is a choice. I'm a successful man who had the same chances who grew up with those people I just mentioned. I have several childhood friends who grew up to be hardcore criminals. But that was their choice. No one forced them to commit robberies and murder people. Everything is a choice. We live in this great country. But we take it for granted. I believe we (Americans) are one of the most ungrateful people in the world.
Agreed, people here are so spoiled and have so much, but they're greedy, and all they want is more. In a University town in Missouri, buses full of people came to March. They were met by a sheriff who told them they were welcome to protest, but warned that they should not turn violent. These people, he told them are good people. But they are armed and have a right to use deadly force to protect life and property. The marchers marched around the town square twice and got back on their bus and left. It took about 7 minutes. They made their point, as they have a right to do peacefully. They remained peaceful, and they left intact. They seem to only get out of hand in cities where they know the mayors will ask the police to step down, and where prosecutors will not prosecute them.
@@tomemig7465 As all other protestors in America do! Are peaceful. Yet Trump ordered his goons (no name on them unmarked uniforms) fire rubber bullet and exploding grenades at a 100% peaceful crowd. Horse-ridders rode thru the crowd, too, the clear the street BEFORE THEIR PERMIT had expired, all so Trump could walk across the street to a church so he could hold a Bible upside down. American Nazis rioted and yelled "Jews will not replace us" in the middle of a peaceful demonstration in Charlottesville, VA (Trump: "There were good people on both sides."
Love this reaction! I live just OTP on the SE side. I was born and raised in a small town and it was definitely a culture shock for me when I moved here 3 years ago. Having not grown up here I don't know what it has been like in the past, but I don't know how it's gotten this bad! Your description of blatant disregard for authority and frankly blatant disregard for life is astonishing to me still. Again, I think you hit it on the head and great to see someone from down the road! Keep it up!
Britt, I really appreciated your point of view. You are the first review of the song that I've heard comment on how good the music is. It's got a groove you can tap your feet and nod your head to. Thank you!
THANK YOU JASON ALDEAN FOR THIS POWERFUL MESSAGE! KEEP SPEAKING THE TRUTH! GOD BLESS YOU AND AMERICA/USA! LOVE THIS SONG...TRY THAT IN A SMALL TOWN...I RECOMMEND YOU DON'T!!
Seeing the positive reactions to this song, I think all is not lost. There is still hope that they will not be able to impose the policy of hate, division and destruction of all the good things that we have in society. God bless you all!! ❤️🙏🙏 P.S. Greetings from Europe!
What a world we live in. Songs lyrics and movies offend people. Love this reaction, Britt. God bless.
I can’t tell if this is written with sarcasm or not as art in its many forms has always drawn criticism from groups that find it “vulgar” or “offensive.” People thought Elvis’ dancing was offensive so they wouldn’t show his lower body on tv. Now there is always some variability as to what draws the ire of such groups over time but more often than not you can find plenty of people with a distaste for a song, an artist, a genre, an actor, a movie, etc.
Hi Britt, happy to listen to you, level headed talk, awesome.
I have watched many reactions to this video and no one seems to be offended or think it’s racist. I agree. Spent most of my life living in really small towns (went to a one room school in Idaho) and this just sounds like the truth to me. F around and find out what happens! Thanks 🙏🏼 👵🏼💜☮️
Right. I've checked, too. The Tennessean (surprisingly) published some of the most thoughtful, profound, and sobering critiques of this evil, manipulative song and cherry-picked video clips (including one of the infamous courthouses in America). "Hooray for Us" is such a compelling theme for sports fans and singer-celebrity concert attendees. But sports and entertainers stars are mere DISTRACTIONS in our often stressed out lives. But "We're the good guys and 80 million voters are totally evil" is fatal for American democracy surviving. We'll elect the first Demagogue tyrant who promises us economic security and safety from the bad guys. It's happening now all over the world, and freedom disappears forever!
Love your reactions Britt…
Love your opinions and perspectives.
HELL YEAH! AMEN...AMEN...
AMEN....Thank you for speaking out!!!!!
What I've said to people that tell me this song incites violence is that there's a big difference between calling for violence and telling people you will stand up for yourself if they bring violence and chaos your way. Especially when you're saying that after the person or people your comments are directed to have been commiting a lot of violence and chaos.
And as you stated, his examples of that violence in the visuals included people of multiple races and sexes. It isn't a song of white vs. black or man vs. woman. It is criminals and chaos vs. hard-working people that stand up for each other.
Funny thing is those same people likely bump Music that incites All sorts of violence, drug use, drugging women, shooting people, etc. The reality is that liberals are scared that people aren't buying their BS anymore and will start defending themselves when confronted with The BS Looting/Robbing and rioting that they do in liberal run cities. Which is why they only do so in their safe zones where police are told not to do anything to them.
The term "Good old boy" is not a bad term. When someone is referred to as a "good ol boy" it just means he has done everything right, will help you out when you need help, doesn't cause any problems, takes care of his family, he is just a GOOD-OL-BOY. A good guy. At least that is what it means to me. Kind of like a "Good Ol dog" You know.....It's southern thang.
It does depend on the context.
Good ol boys could just mean locals.
I've also seen it referenced to things like hiring practices or police actions.
The good ol boy network.
I believe in this context he was just talking about the small community mindset.
@@sandracox43414341 I can see that too. All I know is that when I refer to someone as a "Good ol boy" that just means he is a good guy. Nothing more, nothing less.
Why I live rural and retired now! My family is Korean and we live in Bluff City, IL!!!! 🥰🥰. One of my few neighbors is Filipino, good friend of mine who lives 4 miles south of me is black!!!! We all feel the same way “Try that in a small town”!!!!!!!! Please do!
Love the song & message!!!
Nothing racist here!!!
Thank you, Britt. Just, thank you. For your clear-eyed and honest opinion/reaction.
This is a big reason I live in the country just outside a small town. Slower pace, less hassle, almost no B. S. In '21, a small group of armed Antifa losers gathered on the corner of the main intersection in town. Across the street was a group of armed residents about 10x the size. Nothing happened and the losers have not been back.
Almost 70% of adults here have a 'concealed carry' permit. In '22 there was 0 murders in the entire county. Same so far in '23. Just sayin'.
