I don't know if the Dixie Chicks were marketing themselves to that demographic. They used to be pretty outspoken anti-Bush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Dixie Chicks are great and I don’t even like country music much. They’re pretty progressive, always have been. Lynyrd Skynyrd is the one I have issues with. I like a lot of their music, but they still use confederate imagery in all their stuff. They tried to back off several years ago, but fans raged and they went back to their “its about state’s rights and heritage” bullshit. Tuesday’s Gone will always be one of my favorite songs, though.

It’s not going to close the wealth gap. It’s not going to give a kid whose parents can’t afford college money to go to college. It’s not going to close the labor gap between what white workers are paid and what black workers are paid. And it’s not going to take people off welfare or food stamps.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it will really lead to is the countries past being white washed, and that is more detrimental to the black community than any statue will every be. I was around 11 years old, when I experienced the slave white wash first hand. We were on a family vacation, in South Carolina, and visited a tobacco plantation that had a history tour, thinking we’d get some slave history. Nope, first presentation, they walk through the entire history of the plantation. They never once referenced slaves, and the time period that followed the end of slavery they spoke to the decline of the plantation as factors of economics. The white people in the room ate it up, my mother turned us around and asked for her money back. That was in the 90s, imagine what can be done in 50 years after remove the slave legacy from everyday education. It will be like Juneteenth, the Tulsa massacre, or how people think the only slave uprising was lead Nat Turner. Pretty tired of white people thinking they know what’s best for the black community. Pretty tired of the black community signing up with everyone else’s Diversity and Inclusion when it only includes us (especially heterosexual black men) when it “necessary.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore D Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 "Because of what's going on in the world right now, attention goes directly to the African American community and how we can make it better," Tennessee State coach Brian "Penny" Collins added. "Playing for those universities, they make those universities better. There's a sentiment to do whatever they can to help their community. This is just one of the things on the list." Hope to see things like this come to fruition, in all areas of the black community. The black community needs to take an isolationist approach, its the only thing that will save the community. "They want to reclaim their power. We need to care about us. It shouldn't be a crime that I want to go support my own." - North Carolina Central coach LeVelle Moton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have significant influence over culture and politics," the letter reads. "We have the ability to use our influence to imagine and create a better world. Yet, historically and currently, Hollywood encourages the epidemic of police violence and culture of anti-Blackness. "The way that Hollywood and mainstream media have contributed to the criminalization of Black people, the misrepresentation of the legal system, and the glorification of police corruption and violence have had dire consequences on Black lives."
