    this is in no way reliable information you might as-well give a a hand written note saying “i want to be right” the music video that you are trying to reference at https://invidious.slipfox.xyz/watch?v=b1_RKu-ESCY which is official. Has no newspaper clipping that your false information has, also site your sources for credibility

    also lets say the hypothetical that this is real Tictok is by no means credible for news, secondly music videos are done by hired directors which usually have nothing to do with the song for example, Hoziers take me to church. if you read the lyrics it says nothing out gay people when the music video shows about the over reach of the catholic church on gay people. two completly seprate things the music and the music video

      It’s from the man himself. Why does Jason Aldean’s racist dog whistles have to be in the same container for them to be relevant?

        so you just admitted that you dont like Jason Aldean because of his whistles, which i will say i have never seen nor could find on google. and that you in fact put that comment on this thread because you just dont like him. Which has nothing to do with topic of the song being considered racist, not Jasion Aldean being Racist. which by those terms means lemmy is communist because its made by a socialist developer, which btw it is opensource which is why it is not communist based on each instance having freedom from each other.

      The video you are responding to by the previous poster was a critique of the original TikTok video posted by Mr Aldean. That video was posted on May 19th, prior to the official music video release from a few days ago.

      Danny Collins, a former minor league pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, posted a video in which he dug into a promo of the song that Aldean posted on his own TikTok page. In that TikTok video that Aldean posted back on May 19, several images of vintage newspaper clips and headlines are used.

          You’re welcome. I know, information posted on the internet is oftentimes confusing, contradictory and either incomplete or there’s just a lot of false information.

          I try to keep it simple and acknowledge the fact that it’s difficult to understand information and to know what is the truth and what isn’t the truth. Truth and honesty are a hard thing to come by these days…
