    Is it really 'white'? Is it really 'three chords and the truth'? Do we have to inject race into everything?

    It all sounds the same to me. Music has evolved generally, but country music... not so much since the 90s. And excluding artists for not being country enough is a perfect example.

    And country music is now culturally linked to trumpism. Good luck with that one!

    Oh that's right.

    Leftists don't like having their narratives questioned.

    Your assertion makes no sense. Country is now completely linked to pop and hip hop given the new FGL/JA genre country. They even hold concerts with rappers.

    Nice try though

    Oh you're welcome to try and make the case.

    Go ahead and report me for comparing the number of white rappers to the number of black country singers.

    Sure you're not.

    Ok.

    How do you feel about the obvious comparison between the number of black country singers and the number of white rappers.

    Well you aren't going to hear rap on country bumpkin stations. :rolleyes:

    But it is clear that country music is now trumper music. Criticize a righty and your career in country will be ruined.

    Country music is predominantly appreciated by white people.

    Thats because its target demographic is rural americans, who are predominantly white.

    Isn't it interesting how everything is tied to trump politics.

    Football
    Music
    Fast Food
    Harley Davidson
    Even Gun Shops!

    Say something bad about trump, or do something to stray from the right wing, and the trumpers will turn on you like rabid dogs.

    What I wouldn't give to go to a Charley Pride concert again.

    Charley Pride, Glenn Campbell, the Hag, Johnny Cash, and Willie were the only ones worth my money.

    I suppose that there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- that has got absolutely NOTHING to do with racism that some leftist somewhere still won't eventually get around to falsely turning into a racial issue. I guess when all one has got is a one trick pony then as a leftist there nothing left to do but to use it to turn ideological tricks.

    The most diversity was in the 1960s on AM radio when a Top 40 playlist would include rock, Motown, one or two country tunes and even a song by Sinatra or Dean Martin. And a surf guitar instrumental. Whatever happened to instrumentals?
