If you’d be willing to try some older country, specifically country having to do with this topic, you should give Henson Cargills song “skip a rope” a listen. It’s a song about how kids are learning bad behaviors from their parents. Check out the lyrics here of the second verse: “Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool Now what was that they said about a golden rule? Never mind the rules just play to win AND HATE YOUR NEIGHBOR FOR THE SHADE OF HIS SKIN” The song hit #25 on the top 100 country songs. The year was 1968.

I grew up a white boy on the rez (reservation) in Oklahoma. I had one black friend growing up and a whole bunch of natives back in the 90s. We sang every lyric snoop ever dropped and flew the confederate flag at the same time. We were a bunch of poor kids who didn't have nice things or anything to do so we made fun of each other. If you had feelings that day they got hurt and then you got over it. We all dressed the same, hung out in the same places, listened to the same music, and told the same jokes. We were black or white or native. We were friends. We made fun of what we couldn't change and worked to change what we could. We all still talk, still make the same jokes, still laugh and love, and we are still people. These are country values.

[@daistoke1314]

@@whydoyouneedtoknow3322 i did history in UK 50 years ago so its not modern ideas i hold lol. There were a lot of mixed reasons. State powers were a big one. The tipping point for seccession was probably slavery. That was the politicsl aspect. Those who commanded the South's armies were not huge slave owners. And outside UK and northern states slavery was still pretty common (read about Britain's war on slavery) . States rights were a major issue but the slavery issue was the tipping point, confederate leaders said that. But most fought not for slavery but for their states. If you read the writings of the soldiers (generals to privates) they talked about fighting for Virginia (Or their state) not for slavery. The problem was that a mainly rural area depending on mass unskilled labour was opposed to a mainly urban area which didn't need unskilled unpaid labour. It wasn't morals it was economics that pushed the north and south into opposition to the death. That said slavery is indefensible, and it became the issue and in some (repeat some) areas it was.

My fam comes from the Midwest , those are the values I’ve been instilled with and I got no beef with upchurch. Love the dude! Funny asf. Not a hateful bone in the man . All i can say is that as far as hate goes ... of all people I quote Friedrich Nietzsche(haha) they that fight with monsters, should look to it that they themselves do not become a monster. Anyone out there fighting the big racism monster, if your doing it with hate , you are no better than the one your fighting. Only way racism has power is if you acknowledge it’s power. I don’t know why this shit is so big now . Fuck racism , can’t we all move on together as a human race?

Cancel culture is literally destroying this society, I know that eventually the pendulum will swing too far and people will push back and it will swing back, but unfortunately I fear that at that time it will be too late. As the old saying goes “first they came for my neighbor and I said nothing.” The chickens will eventually come home to roost for these people when cancel culture comes for them, it doesn’t matter how woke you are, you are never woke enough to evade the cancel culture mob. As Tom Macdonald once said “the whole worlds been left leaning, I’m proud of the right that fight back.” And right now wether left right or center we all need to come together with one voice and say fuck this cancel culture shit, critical race theory horse shit, and modern gender theory insanity. We need to regain normality in this damn country, and the western world as a whole. Do you see places like China, Russia, and Iran following this same insane path that we are? No, because their leaders are playing the long game and are raising a generation of strong people, while our society is destroying our up and coming generation. Im just so fucking sick and tired of hearing about racism and gender and cancel culture and all this nonsense yanno.

There is only one way this ship turns around, the odds are not good, and it is nothing to hope for.

I love Upchurch so much. I also love you. Ive never watched a video of yours. I got here from an Upchurch video. But you have such a great perspective on this. And i am from the deep south. Born and raised. What he says is exactly how the vast majority of us are and how we feel. I so appreciate the fact that you can understand anothers culture and recognize a good person from a horrible person.All i can say is thank you!

Second.... Hell i will probably watch it again when my wife gets home.

You might be atheist but love when you preach bro. In all honestly You have a better message than most preachers I know. Keep up preaching what a lot of people need to hear. Keep up the grind and can't wait for the next video.

I’m so happy that you are so intelligent, so genuine, and can see between the lines and judge someone based on character and not some silly symbols. As always respect to you sir

You got a new fan! Just subscribed to your channel because of one video! The reaction video you did about Upchurch and his apology (fake) video!! Now I’m gonna be going back and watching your previous videos!❤️😬 very smart man!

The “flag” was a military unit flag, a variation was used in pirate ships. When the evil Democrat KKK used it is when it changed for some. I agree it is a culture thing for us Southerners. I love you, your heart and mind. Country music was started just like you said.

[@ebogar42]

The KKK were conservatives dumbass. You are spinning the history. It's a racist cultural thing. After the KKK made it popular it was used during the civil rights era as a hate symbol and put up at capitols. It's a racist fucking symbol. If you don't know that you need to do some research and look at thousands of pictures of whites using it in a racist way.

[@dustinhall4421]

@@ebogar42 you know that it was democrats who started the KKK right? You know that the whole confederate movement was democrats, right? Talk about spinning history, but you're doing just that bud. The EASIEST verifiable proof is who was the leader of the union? And who was the leader of the confederacy? What were their standings? I rest my case..

Enjoy relaxing with you bud. It's nice to see chill vibes and intellect in a reaction Channel. I pray many blessings to come in your success.

@MrLboyd "second" I have never seen one video of yours but after having heard you speak you sir are among the few of us in the world that refreshes my mind knowing there are still people that can think for themselves and not this "pamphlet thinking" so to say aahha this is just so refreshing in a world that is growing increasingly stifling

[@tkboyd8464]

This is by far the most intellectual reaction video I’ve seen, and I loved the hell out of it. Subscribed. Edit- country music is the equivalent of real hip hop. Stories about how you’re living, told by people who actually lived it.

OutKast would always rep the confederate flag too.

Never apologize for your culture. I was raised in the south and no one told me to see color first. What I was told is to see a person's character and give everyone a chance.

[@droptine12]

For us country music consumers, we don't care about the label deal issues, we want them to stay true to their values or we don't want 'em.

[@someretardontheinternet]

That's why a lot of people don't like Luke Combs anymore. When I learned about Luke Combs being fake I looked back at one of my favorite songs he did with Upchurch (Outlaw) I ended up laughing my ass off because of how ironic it is

Second, I’m from the south and live in Connecticut now. I know better than to draw unnecessary attention by repping my southern pride through the rebel flag. Instead I can treat people up here with southern hospitality and show them we aren’t what they see us as. Geography doesn’t make someone inherently racist, nor does a piece of cloth. It’s what’s on the inside that really determines the person.
