After Shaboozey Is Snubbed By CMA, The Internet Has Some Words…

[@donesecarr3570]

Good enough to entertain them but not honor them. Black award shows should honor black country music. We have more than enough amazing country music & history. Let's bring our creations home. Reclaim country music.

[@DimeDoppler]

Facts, rich black folks wanting that white acceptance is a helluva drug. Especially when as a collective we would shut all that shit down.

[@generalinformation3507]

Aren't we tired of being in spaces where we're tolerated and not celebrated? Why can't we just keep our excellence to ourselves. Stop inviting them to our cookouts, And just leave them alone with the potato salad with the raisins in it🤷🏿

[@heavyone2438]

Exactly this!

[@blossomann3167]

Yes!

[@p.w.7493]

That part "...aren't we tired of being in spaces where we are tolerated but not celerbated..."

[@SuburbanKween]

I'm on board! At this point, it's embarrassing.

[@chayo4537]

Well aren't people tired of being triggered by black people while simulatenously not being able to leave us alone 😂

[@efechief2659]

Not surprised. They've been celebrating a blonde blue eyed woman winning Miss Universe as a sign of America coming back. This is in line with that mentality.

[@johnwebb2442]

And Caitlin Clark taking over in the WNBA that's predominately black.

[@ZoraDelaney]

She's not American though. Isn't she from Denmark?

[@MrMetro-mt5qv]

The CMAs are on the same code as the rest of the country… anti-black.

[@mbubb4626]

It's not anti black it's just pro white. We blacks need to learn from that.

[@sra7716]

They always have been, this is nothing new..

[@justtester_9962]

Did you tell that to all the uncle toms and untie tommettes who voted for the 👹🤡?

[@BozeDoesGodsWork]

@@justtester_9962trust…they will be dealt with.

[@Thomas12793]

All of this backlash because a Black man had the audacity to run for and win the Presidency and make jokes about a pompous grifter and felon smh. America is broken

[@ReginaldWallace-l4z]

Exactly alot of people couldn't read it

[@tmn8547]

Yes! 🎯

[@Nola229]

This country we call the united state of America has a virus, and it's eating at their souls to the point where they'd rather tear all this down than share it..

[@princellasmith7562]

It really does all go back to that. Obama making fun of Trump at the White House correspondents dinner was literally Trump‘s villain origin story. It’s wild. Go back and look at that tape. Also, Obama getting elected twice instilled whitelash: the backlash of white people to black progress.

[@Darknamja]

I regularly hear his song on our local military radio station. Until this dust kicked up, I had no idea it was a brother who performed it. 🤨

[@brousswayne1]

We invented country music, and took the blues which is ours too, and invented rock and roll. They stole as usual

[@BozeDoesGodsWork]

They didn’t take the blues and invent rock and roll. Ike Turner and Little Richard created rock and roll. Then Chuck Berry came in and they just used them as a blueprint and took off with it.

[@judithmccrea2601]

That was a straight up racist comment. IMO. Or at least a dog whistle! Country music fans are racists, by and large. The industry knows this.

[@catherinesterling1685]

Please these people alone We have the privilege of knowing all this music come from us

[@johnwebb2442]

Facts.

[@renewilson2540]

CMA didn't deserve him or Beyonce! Racist couldn't help but move to that song. It was that good!

[@dewaynethomas5925]

Q- Where does racism come from?

[@marv-nt9166]

It's about the symbolism. They show Shaboozey, Beyonce, and even Lil’ Nas X to demonstrate how PROGRESSIVE they are. It's to keep the other White people calm and comfortable in their Whiteness. Even though they may not win, it is to say at least they were nominated.

[@CHEETAH69]

They didn’t even show Beyoncé. She topped country IN SPITE of them. One of the hottest country songs of the year and she got not one nom. They don’t even have to pretend to like black people anymore.

[@andrinabroussard1972]

@@CHEETAH69 FACTS! AIN’T NOTHING CHANGED…… SHOWING THEIR RACISM ALL DAY E’ERY DAY!

[@NomadicKitty]

Just proves you can play the game and do all the things and they still don't like or accept you

[@dewaynethomas5925]

Q- Are you broad brushing?

[@Aquariustheonlyrealsign79]

The CMA are problematic

[@dgf6275]

"💩 kickers" is a euphemism for cowboy boots. It was shade.

[@powderedtoastfacekillah734]

You think he was calling Shaboozey “💩”?

[@SolCareMimi]

WOW. I gotta go look that up.

[@gregorycallaway5628]

HILLBILLY ELERGY..

[@Bklyn112]

More like Hillbilly Allergy! They allergic to us. They best ta' send Jim Bob round the bend to git some Benadryl though.

[@Thomas12793]

MAN!

[@Faks-Now]

Can't take excellence.

[@MrGizmo-eq5mb]

The world is in psychosis

[@quintonmaxwell54]

I don't know but I thought he meant his artist has been listening to Shaboozy for a minute

[@taynaburton5828]

Beyonce had the top country album, no awards. I thought at least Shaboozey was going to get an award, no...nothing.

[@DerekColdwell]

They not trying to open the flood gates

[@naomim5746]

2:21 They were trying to be witty. We won cuz we kicked butt /booty or Shaboozey. It wasnt funny and I suspect his comment had another meaning amongst friends.

[@KarenHunterShow]

yup. But he's winning with No.1s and $$$...he's in the history books.

[@melsutubeification]

The kids aren't even ready how whitewashed, bland, dry and basic the country/culture is about to get. More importantly, can we please stop looking to our enemy to reward or acknowledge us. WE know what it is, and WE know how truely gifted we are... stop going where we aren't wanted. Periodt.

[@kelthe8thman661]

When we gon learn - just figure a way to make a new category " Southern Music" Don't need CMA

[@dbapeman0698]

Are great white rap artists ever snubbed? In the day, we would celebrate blue eyed soul singers who were good. e.g. AWB Cloudy.

[@johnwebb2442]

They recognized black music artists and give them their credit were credit is due.

[@powderedtoastfacekillah734]

Nah they get promoted

[@danielleb7416]

I suspect that because we respect talent we recognize them, but they only value whiteness.

[@kadokang4479]

I don't feel sorry for people that keep running into genres they are not welcome. Make ya own black country music awards and grow the hell up.

[@shareeminor9125]

On purpose!

[@PeteDavis-f6y]

Sorry not sorry! He got what he asked for! Knowing damn well these people dont like you, will never like you, will never accept you, country music is ALWAYS been racist as hell! Even though we invented it!!

[@Darknamja]

🤔🤔

[@DonnaMcDonald-ng7vb]

He sounds like old school country singer Charles Pride not like these model day country singer her song doesn't sound country, and he stone blue and rhymes and soul and will cross over to main stream like Taylor Swift next.

[@harbourheightsja2383]

She sounds more country than most of those you call country

[@Candy004]

Sometimes I wonder if country music fans actually listen to original artist. Patsy Kline, Reba McEntire, Kenny Roger, etc. Jazz and Blues is all over their songs. But most likely these people don’t know listen to anything that doesn’t have a white face. They regularly call every artist from usher, Beyoncé, Bobby brown etc. rappers.

[@doaver2.125]

In country music come using the term "kicking", is a positive term and it can mean celebration all excitement, but yes it could mean negative also. I am making this comment as a brother, who grew up listening to country music. We all know that country music is just, another Branch off of the Blues.

[@gsforte3259]

Did he mean to say rockin?
