I agree with you sir and thank you for understanding the meaning of this video, it speaks the truth in small towns especially in my small town we all coming together when someone is in need or needs help we could care less whst the persons skin color is we care about our neighbors and definitely look out for them , and we protect out community , that's everyone should be with one another because in my eyes we all bleed the same and we are all God's children and we need to learn to show kindness to eachother..
From Illinois also and its a great song, not one single thing in it is racist, unless somehow having pride in your nation or helping another human being out is.....
This song has nothing to do with race, if you are attaching color to that song you ARE the problem. The only people the song should offend are criminals, Criminals come in all forms, Stop attaching race to everything, Speaking out about not wanting your town to get looted, destroyed, vandalized, burned down is not racist
I’m a 51 year old black man from Indiana and I am NOT a fan of Jason Aldean’s brand of Country music. But after hearing that he wrote this “racist” song, I had to listen to it three days ago, and you know what? I COMPLETELY AGREED! And just to give a finger to cancel culture, I paid to download it. This song has nothing to do with racism. Great message about taking a stand against violence.
Since you are NOT a fan of Jason Aldean, go listen to your Rap and then throw a brick through a window. You'll feel better about yourself. Anything I like and listen to, I don't want you listening to it. How would you understand it anyway, it has actual singing and the playing of instruments. Something you as a Black man are not familiar with.
@@ricenglish4556 Huh? I think you either did not understand my comment or you took it completely wrong. I cannot stand rap / hip hop! I just don’t much care for the Country music that has been produced the last 10 to 12 years. That’s all. I love George Strait, Mindy McCready, the mid 90’s Country music. I’m a drummer. I came up listening to and playing in punk rock, hardcore, heavy metal, and trash bands. I love death metal (Morbid Angel is my favorite), old school alternative music, praise and worship, traditional Irish music, and philharmonic orchestras.
@@josephdixon1688 -- I seldom, if ever listen to Country music. I'm a lifelong Rock guy and I like most variations of it including Pop Rock, Surf guitar, Progressive, Standard, Punk, New Wave, some Grunge, Alternative, and of course, Metal. I'm aware of those old funky Black Blues guitarists and Hendrix's Psychedelic Blues and i just don't like it. In spite of the fact that Blacks seldom play instruments, they are given credit for all music and that's a bunch of crap. A lot of credit given out for songs they didn't write and styles they don't have. Nothing personal, but I've never heard of a Black drummer. If you say you are, okay. I think you would be better served listening to computer generated Hip Hop. Stick to Black Gospel and stay away from Christian Hymns and Folk music. Orchestrated music and Bluegrass are also not for you. Possibly go with Count Basie and that Ella Fitzgerald Best of luck.
@@Pinkcows my mom and dad adopted white children and Spanish without getting a government check for it . . So our house was definitely the most amalgamated Environment to be in, and when we were young we all took baths together Splashing around in the same dirty water. We are all brothers and sisters and cousins at the end of the day. Race did not even exist until the 1800eds thanks to what is now called the democratic party. It was only put there to divide us up and it worked. Humans are so intelligent but very easily manipulated and dumb at the same time . Peace
Absolutely!! It struck me as being super racist to call this song racist!! Like WYM??? So they think “minorities” don’t/cant live in small town communities where everyone loves and helps each other regardless of race?? What an absolutely absurd & narrow view point!
@@Pinkcowsthe Democrats don’t want to see us all banded together & loving each other … they need & feed off of hate and division…. Same as they’ve always been… some things never change….
I'm a 62 year old black woman in central New York and I love this song and so very pleased to once again see my people are promoting this work of art.Thank you young lady.👍
If people are mad about this song, it’s because it struck a nerve in them about the foolery going on in their spaces. There’s nothing wrong with this song. 💯
The song is the truth, and sometimes truth hurts that's why some people are mad. But it's okay to insulting women in rap talk about violence and put a cap in somebody's butt
They (the woke mob) hate this song because it represents everything they despise in America. How can anyone hate a song about good, honest, law-abiding citizens, defending themselves against criminal scum? These woke liberals have no heart.
I agree with you Antoinette. As an African American woman I found nothing offensive or racist about this song. Also I find that there are a lot recordings out there that are x-rated, full of profanity, show disrespect toward women, and use of the n word that people are not complaining about!
You say African American women but I say sister and friend because color or ethnicity doesn't matter character and love for our brothers and sisters are what matters. Saying that Love you SIS.
Great song, that’s what’s America supposed to be. Nothing racist. We need more songs like this. I’m a 65 year old black man, and I agree with this young lady!!!!!😊
Just a safe place for children and grandchildren. A place to sit on the porch and wave at your neighbors. I'm with ya. I live in a town well it's small but not small enough. But it's still got the small vibe. We are neighbors. But at retirement going to buy in the country. Gotta teach grandkids what it's like to be productive before it's too late. They are 7 now. I want to give them the upbringing I had. Outside in the woods. Hunting fishing. Doing chores.
It’s sad that we seem to be going backwards. I’m not sure what is going on nowadays with these young kids but it’s not good. They’ve never had to struggle is part of the problem. Oh they think they have but they never lived with one pair of shoes for a year, clothes with holes in them that didn’t fit or going hungry.
White Hispanic male here from south Texas. I served for all of you and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! This song represents what America truly stands for. Love to all of you!
@@shellykeltz203 Thank you, but I just wanted for everyone to know that I and my brothers in arms feel the gratitude to have served for all of you. You're so worth fighting for to keep safe and free.
I’m serving as soon as I can I’m, 15 but I’m sure I want to serve, my brother and whole family has a past of serving so I will carry the torch from the swamps of Louisiana
@@LEEZY913at least the Jan 6th people went to the people they had an issue with. Why is burn loot and murder burning down blacked owned businesses when they are supposed to have a problem with racist cops
I am 29 and grew up in a small town. I lived in Minneapolis when the riots broke out and saw first hand a whole block of businesses get destroyed. This music video hits the nail on the head. You try and riot in a small town, you won't get far because the community takes care of its own and protects one another.
That’s what these rioters where doing-after years of abuse and discrimination and police brutality, they had had enough and went nuclear so that people could feel and know what they were going through. Nothing disimular than what a small town would do to defend themselves from violators. You have no clue to who and these businesses and properties belong to in these big cities. However, there are a few knucklehead criminal in there taking advantage, but that wasn’t the point. How do you feel about school shooting and massacres of children? Thats a small town thing.
We had just moved into the south suburbs about a month before sh*t hit the fan. Came from a small town a couple states away. All I could think about was how to get the heck out of here.
I love this song and it is true. We ALL need to take care of our neighbors! I see no races there. Race does not matter, folks! We have to HELP one another like Antoinette says.
Amen.. way back in 1980 when my small town self got off the bus into Boot Camp, the TI said in no uncertain terms.. there is NO White here.. no Black.. Just red the color we all bleed.. and the Blue Air Force uniform we all will share.. Now STEP UP and TOE THIS LINE.... And smaller town life, it's pretty simple when you treat each other as neighbors.. I've lived in mixed neighborhoods my whole life.. our children played with the kids next door.. regardless of race.. and we made a deal.. that if our kids got off the bus, or his did and we were late getting home from work? Our home, his, was a safe spot for the children to stay till mom, dad got home.. There was that kind of care, trust in our neighborhoods.. Just like this young man's song points out.. We look after each other.. I wish to God, it was like that in every big city too.. I really do..🙂
This song has nothing to do with race, if you are attaching color to that song you ARE the problem. The only people the song should offend are criminals, Criminals come in all forms, Stop attaching race to everything, Speaking out about not wanting your town to get looted, destroyed, vandalized, burned down is not racist
I'm native American, and was also raised in the country and small towns. Sticking together, and truly being there for your neighbors. Much like a large extended family, sure there will be some minor disputes . However when the need arises, you don't hesitate to rise up together to protect your own. His song depicts that very unity, help each other and stand united. Whoopi is way off base with her lil click, trying to defame a good person. Just cause she's jealous, that she'll never reach the same connection as he already has. Back in the day, Whoopi was a great actress in movies like "Jumping Jack Flash & Ghost". But since then, she steadily declined from being well liked. To now being seen for her true self, and she is going to lose what pull she assumed she had.
@@henryt9281the wort part about it is you believed this administration you would swear white supremacist are beating down blacks in the streets .. That's hardly the real truth.
Unlike a lot of music today, this song has soul & the only people who should be insulted by his song is the criminals he speaks on. I'm not American & I was disgusted by the burning of the American flag....Love this song & Jason Aldean music. They tried to cancel this man, but their outrage had the opposite affect

@magavelli3199 The only good thing about this woke nonsense is that people are learning the tactics and methods. In a decade, Americans are going to be able to spot each and every single woke attack and know exactly how to counter them and shut it down.
I am so overwhelmed right now! I am so thankful that so many people are seeing the “REAL”message in this song! I’ve heard so much bad and it just makes me think….they just don’t get it! Thanks for really listening to it!
I’m a US Army Ranger veteran of the 75th Ranger Regiment. This has just become one of my TOP 5 favorite songs of all time! I find nothing racist or inappropriate about the lyrics or the video images. IT’S TIME FOR PEOPLE OF FAITH TO STAND UP FOR WHATS RIGHT! Thank you Jason Aldean!
And we weep with you the government has forgotten what sacrifices all you service men have given, same for the elderly that can’t afford healthcare. One day when everyone understands the government wants us divided we will reunite and impeach all the haters and traitors and make America great for all.
I’m a sixty year old veteran and I want to know why Aldean chose the site of a 1927 lynching for his video, the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia Tennessee. Are there no small town courthouses where black men weren’t hung for being black? But, he picked THAT one, to send a message. Why? I weep for those who won’t bother to analyze what they see and hear.
@jessemacohlsson7799 So that courthouse and those people have had to settle with their own past. I VERY highly doubt that you have ever apologized for everything your great great grandparents ever did that was wrong. Have you? Should you?
Everytime I hear this song I cry. I'm mourning the loss of our beautiful America.😢🇺🇸 Things don't feel the same anymore. Nothing but anger, sin, and destruction everywhere. I'm a Black woman living in a small town amongst mainly Whites. As a community, we do care for one another (our neighbors). "Try This In A Small Town" by Jason Aldean is a great song. I am NOT triggered by this song; I actually love it; and have enjoyed listening to it over and over again. I don't see or hear racism, or violence being promoted. The Dems and MSM are insulting Blacks by saying this song is attacking us; as if only Blacks commit all the crimes. They are the racists and pushing gun control. Trying to take away our rights to bear arms. Unlike many vulgar and violent rap songs, I can enjoy this one because it speaks about the love for America (our beautiful home) and truth. Pray for America! Repent America while you are able!!!❤️🇺🇸❤
Only thing I see you was triggered by joy,love, and compassion for our beautiful America. This was a long ,but beautiful comment I have ever read I felt it.
Very well put my beautiful sister! I am Black and lived in a small town all my life. Nothing wrong with this song. Jason speaks the truth-try some of that stuff here in my small town. None of us want it and we aren’t having it. Folks just want to cancel anything they don’t agree with.
I am 60 years old. I grew up in a very small town. And it didn’t matter no matter what your skin color was or where you were from if you needed help you help people out, took care of each other and if your neighbor was in trouble, you came to their defense. All this song is saying is all that garbage that’s going on in the big cities just don’t bring it to a small town because here we take care of, our small town and the people who live here we don’t see color we see Neighbor
Nothing racist about this song at all, it is a great song that highlights things we should be concerned about and give support to for the better of humanity. Major respect stay safe
Now I want to first start out by saying I don't see anything wrong with the song... But from what I am hearing is that apparently the courthouse that was featured held a public lynching sometime from 1925-1950. At least that's what I am hearing from my circle. But even if they are saying that they didn't know that part they wouldn't have an issue with it. But because of the lynching that happened it...... makes the song racist..... So now I am stuck trying to make that correlation between the song itself and the courthouse that held the lynching and the choices surrounding that. I'm so confused by that logic. So here I am, asking someone to make it make sense to me.
@@adravena1988That courthouse has been used for a bunch of things. Until I see evidence that they used it for that reason it means nothing to me. People want to make anything they don't like or disagree with racist so I will not give them the benefit of the doubt. They need to provide proof of many lies and false flags that have happened for me to support those narratives.
EXACTLY. THIS SONG IS ONE OF THE BEST SONG IVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME. I'm with you. This song should unite us. I am black and i truly enjoy this song every time i listen to it, i enjoy it even more. We need to start doing the right thing ladies and gentlemen. Be there for your neighbor or a stranger in need. That's who we are here in the US.
Thanks to all of the complaining about this song, I finally heard it for the first time today and I love this song! I got no patience for the racist idiots who assume that this is a song about the Black community..so only black people commit crimes? Apparently that's the opinion of the people complaining the loudest about this song.. THOSE are the people that exemplify what's wrong with this country! There are good people and bad people of every color- this song is about putting a foot down against the bad in people,regardless of color..it has nothing to do with race. We all gotta spread more love around ❤☮️ 🌞 Love your reaction video!
It's very clever to pretend that the complaining is about the song vs a video that features a court house known for lynchings paired with criticism of primarily racial injustice protests.
Don’t you realize the government is trying to pit us against each other? That’s what they want, divide us from seeing what they are doing to us. Don’t be fooled,we all bleed red. Stop hurting each other. We are all in the same sinking ship.
I live in Macon, Ga where Jason Was raised. My husband went to school with him. He is not racist by no means. I love Jason’s songs. And you’re right. That’s what we do, help each other in our small town. ❤
I'm 63 year old black man, and this song is far from being a racist song. Who ever told this lie about this song ought to be taken to court and sued. Very nice song!!! Small towns have always looked out for each other.
The people calling it racist apparently think all black people are criminals. It's very revealing considering that's where their mind jumped when he started talking about crime. They're slandering blacks and conservatives at the same time all because they hate us, whether their point makes sense or not.
No need to sue anyone. All they did was push this song to the top and unite us further. We are strong together and they hate that but their hate blinds them to the fact that love will always prevail.
From a Hispanic woman I love this song haven't heard country for a while. This song came out and I love it I play it over and over there is nothing racist about it, thank God! It's time that we Unite as a whole it's time that we realize that we all matter. Amazing song thank you Jason❤️🤍💙
I’m a 66 year old Hispanic Woman who grew up in a small town and I can’t remember when Farmers, Ranchers and Every Other person who didn’t Farm or Ranch helped each other. We had a Grange where people met and we had dances and community meetings. If someone was sick we all pitched in to help or if they passed, we came together to support and cooked for their Family and Relatives. That’s what You do in a small town. You love each other! ❤
The song has been out since May. People didn’t really start raising a ruckus until the video came out. There isn’t one thing wrong with the song or video. I was raised in a small town in Southeast Texas and still live there. It’s about kindness, community and being a friendly decent human being. When I see a person the first thing I notice is their eyes and if they are smiling. We wave at strangers and help someone we see that may be in need. We all watch out for each other and don’t put up with crime, period. I will say a phone is the second thing I reach for…my firearm will always be first. Thank you so much for your reaction. I wished more people had an open mind. God bless 🙏🏻
I appreciate you, Antionette for taking the time to listen and make a post. As side note...Jason Aldean was performing on the Las Vegas strip on Oct. 1, 2017 when a mass shooter shot into the audience. The shooter killed 60, injured @ 413. I think that makes him more than qualified to write a song about protecting your Family and Community.
@@lightatthecape2009would u have stayed and helped everybody out? Or maybe it's like any other megastar. All security and guards were forcing him out?
Yes ma'am, this song is about community ,helping your neighbor and looking out for each other... I'm an old white woman raised in a mostly black community and I've seen racisin first hand ...this song is not racist ...thank you for your positive comments beautiful
I am from a small town and went to a church where my family and one other person were the only white folks. I was embraced with such love and put in the choir (the only child in the choir). My mama was asked to play the piano and sing specials with a trio. When our water got tuned off because my daddy got laid off they took up a special collection for us paid our bill got us groceries and the collection of money was given to us for anything us we may have needed. It wasn't just a few dollars either it was quite a bit. When we moved they cried with us and gave us a going away party with food and presents. I am still very close to them til this day and it's been 34 years. I called them Aunties and Uncles and the elders I called Grammy and grandad. I love these people with all my heart and if I thought this song was in anyway racist I would be very upset and speak out about it. I agree with others here stating this is about community and togetherness. "Love thy neighbor" , respect and patriotism.
I am Hispanic & I used to live in the Black Community for 31 years. I lived next to a all Black Baptist Church. My 11 yr. old brother developed a brain tumor, and underwent " Brain Surgery" The Nerosurgeon told my parents that my brother might not make it during the surgery& if he did he wouldn't be able to walk or talk. My brother lived to Retirement age after working more than 30 yrs. of his life. He was married for 20 yrs. And lived a normal life with Some pain but he is still alive.Right before my Mother passed in 2019, we discussed how it was a miracle my brother was still alive with a " stint" from his brain to his abdomen. People who had that type of surgery normally don't live that long. As we were talking she said.." If it wasn't for the " Baptist Church" near our old home many year's ago, your brother would have never made it. She then proceeded to tell me how that entire " Black Congregation" got on their knees and prayed for my brother.Tears filled my eye's, I said, " Mom" " How did they know?" She said, " I never told the Pastor anything", " I guess " God" does work Miracles"
THANK YOU FOR YOUR sweetness and honesty, I have such great hope hearing this because we MUST MUST MUST come alongside each other ........ not tear each other down. How beautiful it would be if we could help everyone succeed.......
I'm a 64 year old white woman and I love this song. The reason many MSM and such are trying to cancel it is because it unites us. Don't you feel it? It's patriotic. It reminds us of what We the People, the united citizens of this country, miss most. It is time to take back our friendships and get to know our neighbors again. Together we can do anything. It's not time for President Trump to drain the swamp, it's time for us to do it.
Saying you are a white woman is racism ,if you expect to get credibility from saying you are a white woman, why would you bring your race into the conversation if you are not racist?
I'll listen to it on occasion, but honestly I'm more of an electronic music fan, going to a huge bass music festival later this year. Try That in a Small Town however, hits super hard both instrumentally and with it's message. I've listened to this song every day since the music video was released
@@atoftw4256 Just found some electronic/house kinda esoteric music in a free box. Really liking it. The only country music ever got into was Hoyt Axton (though he might be considered more "Americana") and Elidiaes Ochoa, Cuban "country" star. Aldean's song really hits home coz I'm an Eastern Oregonian with family in Portland. Was there during the fiery but mostly peaceful riots which were astoundingly destructive and had nothing whatsoever to do with fighting muh raycizms and sheeyit. Useful Idiots serving the Corporate Billionaires Banking Cartel.
I am a 61 year old white woman and Although, I live in a major city. We really just need to all come together and fight the division that this administration is promoting. We all ( all races, all colors) need to stand up tall and love each other. Not be divided and not hate each other. Stop judging someones race because of a few bad eggs. God dont like ugly. God made all of us as we are and he loves us all the same.
@@mimcduffee86 Lmfao...... false victimhood is bliss and patriotism is racism right scooter, your reign of ideological terror is starting to come to a end and people are getting tired of the BS hypocrisy you project!!
For me, this is a song people needed. Country folk have a culture of their own, its based on doing good to your neighbor and we don't hate it just because the media does. Matter of fact, We will protect it.
Thankyou Yes we Do. Take care of Family We Pray and Walk the Talk. There is No Color. Respect is Given When Shown. Vice Versa! We're just Country Folk trying to do the Best we can. ❤❤
The media is based in the cities and the national media is based in NYC and DC. They don't know us and they aren't interested in knowing us. I am fine with that; but I am NOT fine with them misrepresenting us for their own purposes.
The media is so bent on keeping us divided, and I must say that all of the reactions I have read over this song shows me that we the people are not as divided as they would like for us to be. It really does my heart good.
Isn't it the truth? MOST people care about people regardless of race but the Media and these groups are hell-Bent to cause division and hate. It angers me so much. Just keep loving!
The media is bought and paid for by the idiots that want to destroy America. They are once again trying to do damage control after Hunter Biden’s fight in the courts crashed and burned. They are trying to cover that all up from we the people. Thank you Antoinette for taking your time to post this with your views. The song came out in May and no complaints then! Kind of funny! The song is great; the message is great and We the People get it! So keep up the hood work everyone and we will win this.
Thank you! I’m from a town of 500. White black Hispanic and we have a Vietnamese family here. We look out for each other. We don’t care what color you are. We care how you act. We don’t have a police force. We rely on County. And they are 20 minutes away!
When it comes down to it, you're responsible for your own safety in the long run. Best case scenario, the cops are only a reactionary force. They'll never be there before something happens only after
I love the part where the older man says: "you need some help, you'll get it." With conviction, I know that is true by the way he said it! We are so used to being divided and lied on and we are tired of it!! God bless you all
This song makes me emotional. Just watching the video it absolutely disgusts me that people act that way. God bless our country. This song is great and I love Jason Aldean. It just makes me respect him so much more that he made this song and doesn't back down to everyone trying to cancel him.
I think his already large fan base just got a lot bigger with this song. The cancel culture is just a small group blown way out of proportion by the media.
Black people are so embarrassing. They commit more crimes than the rest of the country combined. Plus, everybody is afraid to arrest, prosecute and sentence black criminals. Liberal “logic” and these disgusting democrats have infiltrated all walks of life and are using to brainwash kids and vulnerable citizens.
I'm not American nor into country, I'm mixed race, I absolutely love this, he speaks truth, I know a few small town Americans who wouldn't think twice about dealing with those kinds of idiots
Bad things happen to everybody. When it's your turn you have a choice. You can be a survivor or you can be a victim out in the country. You have to fend for yourself. They choose to be survivors not victims
Criminals come in all shapes and colors. Media focuses on black criminals to piss off white people. Everyone needs to step back and think about who really benefits from all of this crap. We ( all races) are being manipulated for a bigger agenda. People need to wake up, or we all will awake in a completely different country
I’m 42 and live in a very small town and everything in this song rings true, we will take care of our own community and it’s people no matter what race, religion or sexual orientation!!! It takes a village and there’s no better village then a small town 😊♥️
You seem like such a sweet soul and love your reaction. It's so encouraging to see so many from such different backgrounds agreeing and pushing back on the mainstream attempts to manipulate us into division. This song is meant to unite, and your words - along with the countless comments here - reflect that. Thank you, God bless you, and God Bless these *United* States of America.
I was born in Chicago and my wife is from a small town in southern Illinois. It is two totally different worlds. We live in the suburbs now and I cringe whenever we have to go back into Chicago for doctor’s appointments, other business, or just tourist activities. Last year we had a drive by occur from three cars behind us while we were sitting at a red light. Just last week two guys were racing each other on motorcycles on the sidewalk where shoppers and children were walking. My wife’s small town is exactly like the song. The biggest inconvenience is having to leave extra time when going to Walmart because you will meet someone you know and talk awhile. When I go to the tobacco shop to buy my cigars the owner always tells me to say hello to my wife. It seems like everyone there owns a firearm or several and yet there is rarely, if ever, a murder. When someone is sick or passed away they come together and bring meals to the family or hold an auction to help pay medical expenses. One of the town’s native sons was shot in the line of duty as a police officer in St. Louis. He was highlighted in the county fair parade. As the car he was riding approached us you could hear the roar of applause get louder. It really is a different world. They do have problems. There are not many jobs. The fire department is volunteer. There is the occasional meth lab and child abuse. Not only the police take care of it, but if you’re back out of jail you’d be better off moving somewhere else. They don’t put up with crime like that. Another song similar to this is about 40 years old and by Hank Williams Jr. called “A Country Boy Can Survive” and it compares rural and urban life nicely as well.
Those same good old boys kidnapped and killed 14 year old Emmitt Till. Till supposedly whistled at a white woman, which 50 years later find out that was a lie. That’s what happens in small towns.
Illinoisian born and raised. My town isn't a small town, but sure as hell happy we aren't the size of Chicago, Springfield, or Peoria even. Love my community. And same, my local tobacco shop owner knows me, and the co-owners. We have problems... but nothing like the bigger cities. And hopefully we never get there. I'd miss the fields too much.
Hey I'm from Chicago and my wife is from boone nc, its a small town better than the city life, I haven't heard the song, but what I hear of it ,about crimes drugs killing thefts getting out of hands by the criminals, probably let out ,when we were in covid yr ,out on release bonds has the least charges by the democraps so now its far to gone ,the democraps wants to blame the republican for the mess they made ,so for the song this guy singing, is the truth of our nation, whats, going on and the democraps doesn't want the the truth, they rather hear a lie that is there truth and the Republicans are the troubled people,,,Billy Mosley of boone nc republican lets go Brandon
I'm small town too but I also realize that it's not just BLM causing and wreaking havoc as depicted in the video. Wh Supps and NN cause a lot of problems also and start trouble. The words in the song don't match what the video shows. That's the core of the problem with the video. The focus of blame is pointed only at one group.
I'm a 63 year old white man from Indiana, and I've been waiting for a person of color to tell me what part of this song is racist. I don't even listen to country music any more but the internet and media has me looking and watching. Hey girl thanks for your listen and honest opinion !
Sir, I'm a 50yo woman of color and I'm also waiting for people of color to tell me what exactly is racist about this song! We will be waiting forever for a valid answer because as we both know there is NOTHING racist about this song! The race card pullers/junkies are just projecting because they live to cause chaos and confusion! It's petty, pathetic and embarrassing. I love this song and it's message! I also love country music, the Midwest and white men, country boys in particular, all of which have treated me well and make me feel good!! I was liking all this loooooong before it was popular to do so. At the end of the day it's about character NOT color, taking care of one another and standing up for what's right!! Again, there's NOTHING racist about the song! Racist need to STOP trying to keep racism alive! Let it die already and choose to move forward and make progress in life!✌🏽
I am loving so many POC coming out and agreeing with the song! We all want safe communities to live in! The media in our country is always starting trouble, where no trouble is. Thank you for your great reaction!
I'm a 70 year old white woman who grew up in a small town in Utah and I dearly love this song. I listen to it over and over and every time it sends shivers up my spine and tears to my eyes. As one of the commenters below said, it brings us together, which is desperately needed in these awful times. I'm glad to see that you have the original version, Antionette. They changed the Official Version just a day or so ago, cutting several things including the spoken section about small town people helping each other. It's a great loss,. To me, that was the best bit, the voice of the older farmer who needed help was very moving. And today I looked back at many of the reaction videos I had already seen and the cuts were already there in videos that had been complete before. Keep that video in your archives, it would be very sad for it to be lost! Great commentary, I'm a new subscriber now!
I’m a 76 year old white woman. This song reminds me of my youth when people gathered to help neighbors when something happened. Race was something horses did at the track. Neighbors were just that…neighbors, no matter what color, religion or lifestyle. Too sad that we have come so far from those days.
My grandmother that was born in 1927 use to tell us stories of the old days when she was young and how everyone took care of each other like if one person in the neighborhood butchered an animal all the neighbors would get some sent to them. She grew up in very hard times and you had to help each other to survive. A lot of the ones now a days wouldn’t be able to survive like they did because one they are to busy being pissed at the world and poor poor me syndrome
@@Vivianharper4249 Thank you for your input, your so right about the me me me, my my my, I'm entitled so give me money to buy cigarettes entitled, work? I don't want to be seen working. By the way, I'm a white lady of 62 from Alabama, I've always worked, proud to have been able to work, I'm proud of my black friends, we love each other like family, I'm their sister as they are mine. God put us in this world, he's never wrong, so my friends I will say I love you. Black, white, red, brown, we are all precious in his sight.
@@pamwilliams4883 I’m from way down South GA and live in a very mixed rural county and we all are friends and help each other out. That is just how we were raised. It’s nothing like how the media try’s to portray
Girl, I listened to that song a bunch of times! I love it! You are totally right about the filth that is today's rap music! Nobody's mad about that, but this song that speaks the truth is receiving so much hate! smh!
I chose to be an American, proud of it! This song reflects the sentiment of the America , the people I love, unconditionally, no matter what the past - the here and now is what counts. This song and the sentiment behind it, the huge masses of people who feel exactly this way confirmed and make me ,again, proud to have made my decision and proud to be an American. Thank you all !
I think this song has brought more people together then it tears them apart! Everybody at one time has lived in a small town and can relate to this song! 😊
Lol i lived in a small town all my life im 34 n i know for a fact i would get a whooping from my parents way before the cops or authorities would get involved if i did anything and yes we help each other.
Jason Aldean thinks riots and violence doesn't happen in small towns. What Jason Aldean forgets is that all those small towns (in the south, and some in the north too) "Main Street" used to be named "Lynch Street" because they were the origin of race riots and mob violence. Those small towns burned crosses in people's front yards, and smashed the windows of every minority owned business that dared open, and not in one night or week of protest, but for decades.
I love ya girl. I am in my 50’s and grew up in Illinois and Kansas in small towns. You are right there is no racism in that song at all. In my time if your neighbor was sick you helped out. If there was a family in the town that needed help ya just pitched in and helped. I really don’t get where it all comes from with the racism stuff. We all need to get back to the roots of loving caring and helping each other the way we did so many years ago.
I just want to say that I commend each and every person that is actually listening to the song and it’s lyrics. The song is about a community coming together to help each other in need. Let’s look at all the rap music being played out there with the lyrics and the meaning behind them, it’s awful. This song actually stands for something! Something you can be proud of!
I support this song but to be fair you're also generalizing all rap music while there is some rap music that is awful some rap music rap about peace and helping each other too.
I’m a 71 yo white woman and I’m not seeing anything racist about this song. I’m pretty liberal but this has been blown way out of proportion. I was raised in small towns and he’s just speaking truth. Thanks for your reaction 🙏🏼👵🏼💜☮️
Antoinette, the angry, hateful ones are loud. Good people often do what they do rather quietly, under the radar, if you will. You have a very good heart. Glad you did the review and the reaction.
Hate is on the naysayers mind. Jason Aldean is Country, Country USA will defend our rights under the constitution as WE THE PEOPLE. Foreign and domestic
I come from a small town. Born and raised. This song speaks volumes! Doesn’t matter race, walk of life, or where you come from. Small towns, we have each others backs! It’s the way the world should operate! Much love to ALL! ❤
It`s a great song. I`ve listened to the song several times. And watched the video several times. I love the song and video. It sends out a positive message. It shows real news footage. Nothing is reenacted. Not only should this song be a motto for small towns. Burt for big towns, big cities, and small cities alike. My family came from two small towns. Zemach, Poland. Of course, that was during the first and second world wars. And Bradford, Pennsylvania. Families knew each other. That was in the 1950s and 1960s. And of course. In the 1970s and 1980s. After moving to Brooklyn, New York. Way after I was born back in 1968. The whole family, used to vacation in Lake George, New York. The mind set is different. Things move at a slower pace. And I believe. When people move from a small town, to a big city. They bring those small town values with them. Plus there are small towns all over the world. What the song basically says. One, or many people come here. Whatever garbage all of you plan on doing. Don`t do. And if you do. We`ll chase you out of here. But it also says. But it also says. You`re welcome to stay here. And not break the law. And don`t do any nonsense. At least that`s what I think. Plus. Back in 2009. I saw Jason Aldean and his band. live in concert. In the small town in Rhinebeck, New York, at The Dutchess County Fair. Him and his band put on a great show. And the ticket price was a decent price. At $25.00. And the concert was outside. It`s not like a major arena. Where it sits 40,000 thousand people. This outdoor grandstand sits at least, 500 or more people. I don`t see or hear any negativity in the song or video. But the short film shows the negativity from actual news footage. Because. back in 2020. After the Derek Chavin George Floyd incident. That`s all I saw on the news every day. A peaceful protest is one thing. Where many people march and chant. Maybe a few public speakers here and there. I don`t know. And call it a day and go home. But vandalizing personal, and municipal property. That`s not part of a protest. And that`s grounds for arrest and jail time. I don`t have a problem with real news footage being shown. But the left has a problem with it. And the leftist media problem with it. And the leftists Hollywood elitists, have a problem with it. And the few leftist musicians have a problem with it. Well, they need to stop whining. Grow up. Smell the coffee. Stop with the infantile behavior. And behave themselves properly. And stand with Mr. Jason Aldean and his song. And that`s the bottom line.
My hometown was hit hard a couple weeks ago. Everybody in the community even us that have moved away came together with prayers, financially and supporting them. They needed us and we took care of them and still are.
I live in ND a SMALL Township,700 people,one cop,no crime,99% farmers and if someone needs help we pull together to help thee family or person who needs help! This song 🎵 is perfect and I love it!! Keep up thee great work Jason!! Amen 🙏 God bless you and your family 👪 🙏📖✝️🕊⚘🕊🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤

@@regularguyprepper This is exactly why I moved to a small town! I lived in a city where violence is everywhere! All races were involved! There's not a color to crime!
Thankyou for your honest reaction! My parents both raised in small communities instilled in us that all are God's children and to treat others as we want to be treated. I lost them both this year, but will be forever grateful for their teaching. We need to be looking out for each other, especially now with all the craziness going on. God Bless!
I cry every time I hear this song because it reminds me of when I was a kid and everyone in my Neighbors would help each other and now days everyone scared to help each other ... I miss those days. Mind you I was raised in an all black apartment complex as the only white family ... my neighbors were like family to me. I love this song more people should hear it and take it to heart.
I grew up in a small town. I love this song!it's just a different world in a small town, where everyone helps each other, and everyone is your friend. We were not taught racism. We were taught the love of Jesus. The upper elite are trying to separate us. We need to stick together!
The political base for today's progressivism is not the working class like the old progressives, but the educational, cultural, media, and economic elites. The center of that ideology is Ivy League universities spreading out to others (the more elite, the more progressive), the New York Times, Hollywood, government - not the fields and factories. The income and power disparities between, say, the top 10% (of any race) and the rest is vastly greater than the differences between ordinary people of different races, so they are saying "look over there - that's your real enemy" so we won't notice. It's convenient for them to diffuse the blame to include working class white people (and exclude wealthy Black people). Have the ordinary people fight among themselves for the crumbs, by fostering a racial divide as "the real problem". We have to stick together in a multi-racial coalition of ordinary people, treating each other with mutual dignity, and working together to fix the real problems faced by real people, rather than the contrives problems they want to make us concentrate on. I want to nuance this a bit; I know a lot of progressive people and most of them are decent caring people. I'm not saying that all of the elites are consciously conspiring to produce the situation I described above (tho I can see how it could be taken that way). It's more that a certain radical perspective hatched in parts of academia has appealed to people at the top of society, for unconscious reasons. This is more about assessing the situation we find ourselves in, rather than trying to demonize any group of people or impute evil intentions. However, we know what the road to H is paved with. I don't want to harm those people, I just want to trim their disproportionate power over the rest of us.
People are fed up and he put what's going on in a song to let people know Don't try that in a small town, cuz it ain't going to work people need to get a handle on this violence and destruction, Jason Aldean got to the breaking point that he is over it and he put it in a song. Going to see him here in Ahwatukee Phoenix Arizona in October looking forward to it. Thank you for putting the word out young lady, with your point of view. I've seen this song numerous times and I love it more every time I hear it.
This song should bring us all together. If every city in America had community like we do in a small town the world would be better. Believe if you're in my neck of the woods, regardless of color, you are protected and I'll stand up and fight for you.
If this song pisses you off your a closed minded person,all he’s saying is love and help your community. Protect your family and all your possessions you work hard for. At all cost
Not a country music fan, but I love this song and all that it stands for. Can you imagine the outrage people would have today with John Cougar’s song “Small Town”? People today just try to drum up racism and whatever in places that it’s not.
And what's so unacceptable is it's coming from White Elites pushing an invalid agenda to tear US apart. Yes there are extremist in every generation but these ppl are so far off base it's scary . They know nothing of what they speak. This Man is being destroyed .
Antionette, you did the right thing. You listened to the song and made up your own mind. I happen to Love that song. It says alot about the state of our country. Thanks !!!! ✌🏻♥️
Thank you for being a REAL reaction channel. And what you said is exactly 💯 percent right. What he means by taking care of our own is the small town community. I'm from a small town and regardless of race religion politics we help and look out for one another. Just as our country as a whole should. Again Thank you for your REAL reaction. God Bless
@@josephwitcofsky1359 Drag Queen bit on Awards Show ended my watching. All you need to know. A.B.C./Disney own a piece of of the channel.Robin Roberts a lesbian progressive who never listened to country music for an hour in her whole her life was a host? Stay George Strait Tobey Country Strong. Time for that Red Neck revolt.
Aldean was performing in Las vegas and witnessed the aftermath of Oct. 1, 2917. Watching the destruction of property for almost a year all over country, it hit to many. His song is one of open your eyes to Everyone! My parents are from a small town, I was raised with morals and what is right and what is wrong and Believe in God. This song is needed.
@nancycrowley6255 You have the right to your opinion . Just because you don't like country music doesn't mean other people don't it . Your comment says you're a selfish person and don't think or care for others .
And the funny thing is when something like that happens at one of your concerts, the singer or band would instantly change to "We need gun control." Jason Aldean never did that.
We need to start calling these journalist, influencers or whatever they lable them out on their bs like calling this song racist and knowing it isn't. Time to cancel the problems
The media masters make it about race to keep you distracted and divided as they steal the country out from under us. Look up all the CEOs of the news and music outlets and you will find the real enemies of the people.
That's right I'm 55 when I was little we showed up for our community. My mom taught me not to turn my back on my community and God help me if I disrespected anyone. I went to a country school when we moved to town and I switched to city school my first grade teacher was black and because of her I loved ppl because I loved her.
I listened to this song many times trying to understand why it is offensive. This song basically is a patriotic song that exposes the group of people that is causing havoc in our country and disrupting the foundation of our core values and beliefs. The small towns are symbolizing our traditional American values and beliefs and would not let this group of people destroy our country. Only those being exposed would find this song offensive and want to shut it down. It is time we all unite together to get rid of those perverts and criminals from our societies.
As a girl born in the big city and then moved to the smallest town that my father could find - i don't find anything wrong with the song or video either. I'm 100% rock and roll - but i do like this song and appreciate it's message
The song was nice, I am with you girl! Yep…some songs call women everything but a women…this song is American. I am a black woman, I enjoy country music ❤
This is a great song regardless if you like country music or not. It pulls at your heart and makes you open your eyes to how far our country has fallen. Hurts alot. The main reason so many people despise this song is because it exposes what they think is ok but it's pure evil & UnAmerican! True Americans help each other out regardless of color or creed or religion. God have mercy on us as a country. 🙏
I'm a 60 year old white man from Oregon and I feel the same way! I love this song more every time I hear it! And I have yet to hear one black person listening to this song for the first time say that they hear something racist in this song. Thank you Antionette Tv for sharing from your heart!.
It’s not us black folks. We all love the song. Hell I sing dirt road anthem and my kinda party all the time for karaoke here in Mississippi and Louisiana. Some folks just want to divide us. But together we will stand United. Americans. Black white and purple. All of us together. Nothing but love
This song is awesome and not at all racist. Its about community. Now whilst we are losing our community spirit surely this will prompt us ALL to come together and defend what's right and decent. Sending love to EVERYONE ❤❤❤
We always were but greedy people for whom fighting and division are key to their ongoing success are responsible for false narratives and inciting the behaviors we are seeing today. Luckily GOOD people are waking up worldwide. We just have to persevere harder to bring these people down and show them for WHO and WHAT they are
Thanks for standing behind this song. I myself don’t listen to a lot of his music, but this one hits home! God bless you Jason don’t back down from the truth. That’s what wrong with this nation we’ve lost respect for our flag, our country, and our fellow man. It doesn’t matter, black, white, or red we ARE ONE. Let’s stop all the false stuff and get back to loving and caring for our fellow man. ❤
We live in a small town. The town took away this old man's stuff off the road he was selling because the town saw it as an eye sore. We as a community got him a generator and food. He is a war vet and stand next to him. Oh yeah. He's black.
This song speaks volumes of truth. I am a 64 yr old white woman . I Was Born and raised in a small city in NY State. I was raised people are people. Good and bad in all. I wasn't raised to see color and in our area all colors get along❤
This song represents the very spirit of this country. It's community, it's supporting each other, it shows a strong moral compass. It is not racist, it's not religious, nor does this video encourage violence. It shows that in any small town no matter the color, you don't show respect in it, you get none in return.
Im a 63 year old black man from Illinois. Every time i hear this song i love it more and more . Nothing racist about this song.
Only the media and Democrat party equivocates blacks and criminals.
Thank you and I agree have a blessed life🙏🇺🇸
I agree with you sir and thank you for understanding the meaning of this video, it speaks the truth in small towns especially in my small town we all coming together when someone is in need or needs help we could care less whst the persons skin color is we care about our neighbors and definitely look out for them , and we protect out community , that's everyone should be with one another because in my eyes we all bleed the same and we are all God's children and we need to learn to show kindness to eachother..
From Illinois also and its a great song, not one single thing in it is racist, unless somehow having pride in your nation or helping another human being out is.....
This song has nothing to do with race, if you are attaching color to that song you ARE the problem. The only people the song should offend are criminals, Criminals come in all forms, Stop attaching race to everything, Speaking out about not wanting your town to get looted, destroyed, vandalized, burned down is not racist
I’m a 51 year old black man from Indiana and I am NOT a fan of Jason Aldean’s brand of Country music. But after hearing that he wrote this “racist” song, I had to listen to it three days ago, and you know what? I COMPLETELY AGREED! And just to give a finger to cancel culture, I paid to download it. This song has nothing to do with racism. Great message about taking a stand against violence.
What an excellent summary!
Since you are NOT a fan of Jason Aldean, go listen to your Rap and then throw a brick through a window. You'll feel better about yourself. Anything I like and listen to, I don't want you listening to it. How would you understand it anyway, it has actual singing and the playing of instruments. Something you as a Black man are not familiar with.
@@ricenglish4556
Huh? I think you either did not understand my comment or you took it completely wrong. I cannot stand rap / hip hop!
I just don’t much care for the Country music that has been produced the last 10 to 12 years. That’s all. I love George Strait, Mindy McCready, the mid 90’s Country music. I’m a drummer. I came up listening to and playing in punk rock, hardcore, heavy metal, and trash bands. I love death metal (Morbid Angel is my favorite), old school alternative music, praise and worship, traditional Irish music, and philharmonic orchestras.
@@josephdixon1688 -- I seldom, if ever listen to Country music. I'm a lifelong Rock guy and I like most variations of it including Pop Rock, Surf guitar, Progressive, Standard, Punk, New Wave, some Grunge, Alternative, and of course, Metal. I'm aware of those old funky Black Blues guitarists and Hendrix's Psychedelic Blues and i just don't like it. In spite of the fact that Blacks seldom play instruments, they are given credit for all music and that's a bunch of crap. A lot of credit given out for songs they didn't write and styles they don't have. Nothing personal, but I've never heard of a Black drummer. If you say you are, okay. I think you would be better served listening to computer generated Hip Hop. Stick to Black Gospel and stay away from Christian Hymns and Folk music. Orchestrated music and Bluegrass are also not for you. Possibly go with Count Basie and that Ella Fitzgerald Best of luck.
Totally agree with you, this song is not racist it's about the troubled times we are in.
I like . I'm black from a small town and we were raised to fight together no matter race. Great song and message
That is the key!!!!! Race does not matter among neighbors and friends!!
@@Pinkcows my mom and dad adopted white children and Spanish without getting a government check for it . . So our house was definitely the most amalgamated Environment to be in, and when we were young we all took baths together Splashing around in the same dirty water. We are all brothers and sisters and cousins at the end of the day. Race did not even exist until the 1800eds thanks to what is now called the democratic party. It was only put there to divide us up and it worked. Humans are so intelligent but very easily manipulated and dumb at the same time . Peace
Absolutely!! It struck me as being super racist to call this song racist!! Like WYM??? So they think “minorities” don’t/cant live in small town communities where everyone loves and helps each other regardless of race?? What an absolutely absurd & narrow view point!
@@Pinkcowsthe Democrats don’t want to see us all banded together & loving each other … they need & feed off of hate and division…. Same as they’ve always been… some things never change….

If people are mad about this song, it’s because it struck a nerve in them about the foolery going on in their spaces. There’s nothing wrong with this song. 💯
That's a very good point!
Exactly. He is showing the ignorance
The song is the truth, and sometimes truth hurts that's why some people are mad. But it's okay to insulting women in rap talk about violence and put a cap in somebody's butt
People are jealous that we are all sick of Biden. They’re trying to use music to piss us off more
They (the woke mob) hate this song because it represents everything they despise in America. How can anyone hate a song about good, honest, law-abiding citizens, defending themselves against criminal scum? These woke liberals have no heart.
I agree with you Antoinette. As an African American woman I found nothing offensive or racist about this song. Also I find that there are a lot recordings out there that are x-rated, full of profanity, show disrespect toward women, and use of the n word that people are
not complaining about!
Perfect synopsis of Prejudice: ruclips.net/video/KVN_0qvuhhw/видео.html
Like rap music
you can not disrespect women without doing a backhanded disrespect to men.
You say African American women but I say sister and friend because color or ethnicity doesn't matter character and love for our brothers and sisters are what matters. Saying that Love you SIS.
100% agree. There is a lot of trashy songs out there and nobody says anything about those.
Great song, that’s what’s America supposed to be. Nothing racist. We need more songs like this. I’m a 65 year old black man, and I agree with this young lady!!!!!😊
Amen
Just a safe place for children and grandchildren. A place to sit on the porch and wave at your neighbors. I'm with ya. I live in a town well it's small but not small enough. But it's still got the small vibe. We are neighbors. But at retirement going to buy in the country. Gotta teach grandkids what it's like to be productive before it's too late. They are 7 now. I want to give them the upbringing I had. Outside in the woods. Hunting fishing. Doing chores.
It’s sad that we seem to be going backwards. I’m not sure what is going on nowadays with these young kids but it’s not good. They’ve never had to struggle is part of the problem. Oh they think they have but they never lived with one pair of shoes for a year, clothes with holes in them that didn’t fit or going hungry.
I’m so glad people are seeing what the left is trying to do, thank you for your opinion. This song is not racist.
I agree. I am a 68 yo white woman and I was taught to respect everyone and expect everyone to respect me as long as I deserved respect.

I am 29 and grew up in a small town. I lived in Minneapolis when the riots broke out and saw first hand a whole block of businesses get destroyed. This music video hits the nail on the head. You try and riot in a small town, you won't get far because the community takes care of its own and protects one another.
That’s what these rioters where doing-after years of abuse and discrimination and police brutality, they had had enough and went nuclear so that people could feel and know what they were going through. Nothing disimular than what a small town would do to defend themselves from violators. You have no clue to who and these businesses and properties belong to in these big cities. However, there are a few knucklehead criminal in there taking advantage, but that wasn’t the point. How do you feel about school shooting and massacres of children? Thats a small town thing.
Exactly 💯 I don't see the problem
a lot of white liberals came to riots just to destroy property
I'm just north west in Wright County. Guarantee that foolishness ain't making it far up here
We had just moved into the south suburbs about a month before sh*t hit the fan. Came from a small town a couple states away.
All I could think about was how to get the heck out of here.
I love this song and it is true. We ALL need to take care of our neighbors! I see no races there. Race does not matter, folks! We have to HELP one another like Antoinette says.
110% Amen to that & next step is vote for Trump in '24. Lets Make America UNITED again! 🙏❤💙✌
She’s so cute.
Amen.. way back in 1980 when my small town self got off the bus into Boot Camp, the TI said in no uncertain terms.. there is NO White here.. no Black.. Just red the color we all bleed.. and the Blue Air Force uniform we all will share..
Now STEP UP and TOE THIS LINE....
And smaller town life, it's pretty simple when you treat each other as neighbors.. I've lived in mixed neighborhoods my whole life.. our children played with the kids next door.. regardless of race.. and we made a deal.. that if our kids got off the bus, or his did and we were late getting home from work?
Our home, his, was a safe spot for the children to stay till mom, dad got home.. There was that kind of care, trust in our neighborhoods.. Just like this young man's song points out.. We look after each other..
I wish to God, it was like that in every big city too.. I really do..🙂

I guess who don't like it,just don't understand the song, I have been in small town,for years, I know what small towns will do,I witnessed it.
I'm native American, and was also raised in the country and small towns. Sticking together, and truly being there for your neighbors. Much like a large extended family, sure there will be some minor disputes . However when the need arises, you don't hesitate to rise up together to protect your own. His song depicts that very unity, help each other and stand united. Whoopi is way off base with her lil click, trying to defame a good person. Just cause she's jealous, that she'll never reach the same connection as he already has.
Back in the day, Whoopi was a great actress in movies like "Jumping Jack Flash & Ghost". But since then, she steadily declined from being well liked. To now being seen for her true self, and she is going to lose what pull she assumed she had.
The song doesn't mention race... it talks about actions. Crimes against society... all of us.
The self entitled idiots think a white poodle is racist.
The data shows unequivocably which race does which actions the most.
It doesn't mention race but it's a wink. It doesn't show white people hitting a police officer at the Capitol.

Unlike a lot of music today, this song has soul & the only people who should be insulted by his song is the criminals he speaks on. I'm not American & I was disgusted by the burning of the American flag....Love this song & Jason Aldean music. They tried to cancel this man, but their outrage had the opposite affect
Seems like it always does lol. THEY cant hide the truth or the love everyone has for eachother.
This song has nothing to do with race, if you are attaching color to that song you ARE the problem. The only people the song should offend are criminals, Criminals come in all forms, Stop attaching race to everything, Speaking out about not wanting your town to get looted, destroyed, vandalized, burned down is not racist
@magavelli3199 The only good thing about this woke nonsense is that people are learning the tactics and methods. In a decade, Americans are going to be able to spot each and every single woke attack and know exactly how to counter them and shut it down.
I am so overwhelmed right now! I am so thankful that so many people are seeing the “REAL”message in this song! I’ve heard so much bad and it just makes me think….they just don’t get it! Thanks for really listening to it!
I’m a US Army Ranger veteran of the 75th Ranger Regiment. This has just become one of my TOP 5 favorite songs of all time! I find nothing racist or inappropriate about the lyrics or the video images.
IT’S TIME FOR PEOPLE OF FAITH TO STAND UP FOR WHATS RIGHT!
Thank you Jason Aldean!
Thank you for your service brother!
Thank you for your service, may God bless and keep you!
Amen to that! God bless you and thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service, My father was also an Army Ranger (Vietnam 4 tours)
Thank you for your service friend!
I'm a 59 year old veteran and I weep for my country.
And we weep with you the government has forgotten what sacrifices all you service men have given, same for the elderly that can’t afford healthcare. One day when everyone understands the government wants us divided we will reunite and impeach all the haters and traitors and make America great for all.
I’m a sixty year old veteran and I want to know why Aldean chose the site of a 1927 lynching for his video, the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia Tennessee. Are there no small town courthouses where black men weren’t hung for being black? But, he picked THAT one, to send a message. Why?
I weep for those who won’t bother to analyze what they see and hear.
@jessemacohlsson7799 So that courthouse and those people have had to settle with their own past. I VERY highly doubt that you have ever apologized for everything your great great grandparents ever did that was wrong. Have you? Should you?
@@jessemacohlsson7799My guess is that you are a lying sack and never served. Because had you served in war, your conscience would be killing you.
@@francismarion6400 Aldean isn’t from there. He chose that spot, out of thousands for his video on purpose. Why? That’s all you need to answer.
Everytime I hear this song I cry. I'm mourning the loss of our beautiful America.😢🇺🇸 Things don't feel the same anymore. Nothing but anger, sin, and destruction everywhere.
I'm a Black woman living in a small town amongst mainly Whites. As a community, we do care for one another (our neighbors). "Try This In A Small Town" by Jason Aldean is a great song. I am NOT triggered by this song; I actually love it; and have enjoyed listening to it over and over again. I don't see or hear racism, or violence being promoted. The Dems and MSM are insulting Blacks by saying this song is attacking us; as if only Blacks commit all the crimes. They are the racists and pushing gun control. Trying to take away our rights to bear arms. Unlike many vulgar and violent rap songs, I can enjoy this one because it speaks about the love for America (our beautiful home) and truth. Pray for America! Repent America while you are able!!!❤️🇺🇸❤
Preach!! ❤
Only thing I see you was triggered by joy,love, and compassion for our beautiful America. This was a long ,but beautiful comment I have ever read I felt it.
I agree with you one million percent fellow patriot.
Love this comment! Thank you for posting it! 🙏🇺🇸❤
Very well put my beautiful sister! I am Black and lived in a small town all my life. Nothing wrong with this song. Jason speaks the truth-try some of that stuff here in my small town. None of us want it and we aren’t having it. Folks just want to cancel anything they don’t agree with.
I am 60 years old. I grew up in a very small town. And it didn’t matter no matter what your skin color was or where you were from if you needed help you help people out, took care of each other and if your neighbor was in trouble, you came to their defense. All this song is saying is all that garbage that’s going on in the big cities just don’t bring it to a small town because here we take care of, our small town and the people who live here we don’t see color we see Neighbor
Nothing racist about this song at all, it is a great song that highlights things we should be concerned about and give support to for the better of humanity. Major respect stay safe
If people don't like something it's automatically racist I woke up this morning I guess that's racist
i was just about to say that
Now I want to first start out by saying I don't see anything wrong with the song... But from what I am hearing is that apparently the courthouse that was featured held a public lynching sometime from 1925-1950. At least that's what I am hearing from my circle.
But even if they are saying that they didn't know that part they wouldn't have an issue with it. But because of the lynching that happened it...... makes the song racist..... So now I am stuck trying to make that correlation between the song itself and the courthouse that held the lynching and the choices surrounding that. I'm so confused by that logic. So here I am, asking someone to make it make sense to me.
@@adravena1988That courthouse has been used for a bunch of things. Until I see evidence that they used it for that reason it means nothing to me. People want to make anything they don't like or disagree with racist so I will not give them the benefit of the doubt. They need to provide proof of many lies and false flags that have happened for me to support those narratives.
I agree . People don't want help
EXACTLY. THIS SONG IS ONE OF THE BEST SONG IVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME. I'm with you. This song should unite us. I am black and i truly enjoy this song every time i listen to it, i enjoy it even more. We need to start doing the right thing ladies and gentlemen. Be there for your neighbor or a stranger in need. That's who we are here in the US.
Thanks to all of the complaining about this song, I finally heard it for the first time today and I love this song! I got no patience for the racist idiots who assume that this is a song about the Black community..so only black people commit crimes? Apparently that's the opinion of the people complaining the loudest about this song.. THOSE are the people that exemplify what's wrong with this country! There are good people and bad people of every color- this song is about putting a foot down against the bad in people,regardless of color..it has nothing to do with race. We all gotta spread more love around ❤☮️ 🌞 Love your reaction video!
Throw a rock at a pack of dogs. The one that cries is the one the rock hit.
Amen!!
That "racist card " is getting old!!! So people can't handle the truth!!! This song is just telling the truth!!
GREAT SONG!!!
It's very clever to pretend that the complaining is about the song vs a video that features a court house known for lynchings paired with criticism of primarily racial injustice protests.
Don’t you realize the government is trying to pit us against each other? That’s what they want, divide us from seeing what they are doing to us. Don’t be fooled,we all bleed red. Stop hurting each other. We are all in the same sinking ship.
I live in Macon, Ga where Jason Was raised. My husband went to school with him. He is not racist by no means. I love Jason’s songs. And you’re right. That’s what we do, help each other in our small town. ❤
I'm 63 year old black man, and this song is far from being a racist song. Who ever told this lie about this song ought to be taken to court and sued. Very nice song!!! Small towns have always looked out for each other.
The people calling it racist apparently think all black people are criminals. It's very revealing considering that's where their mind jumped when he started talking about crime. They're slandering blacks and conservatives at the same time all because they hate us, whether their point makes sense or not.
Shannon watts from moms demand action caused this shit show
No need to sue anyone. All they did was push this song to the top and unite us further. We are strong together and they hate that but their hate blinds them to the fact that love will always prevail.
❤ from a white Man. Thank you sir !!! 🙏🏻
The witches of the view started it, well everything is racist to whoopi so..
From a Hispanic woman I love this song haven't heard country for a while. This song came out and I love it I play it over and over there is nothing racist about it, thank God! It's time that we Unite as a whole it's time that we realize that we all matter. Amazing song thank you Jason❤️🤍💙
I’m a 66 year old Hispanic Woman who grew up in a small town and I can’t remember when Farmers, Ranchers and Every Other person who didn’t Farm or Ranch helped each other. We had a Grange where people met and we had dances and community meetings. If someone was sick we all pitched in to help or if they passed, we came together to support and cooked for their Family and Relatives. That’s what You do in a small town. You love each other! ❤
Same way we do things where I still live to this day, color has nothing to do with this. It about coming together as a caring community.
The song has been out since May. People didn’t really start raising a ruckus until the video came out. There isn’t one thing wrong with the song or video. I was raised in a small town in Southeast Texas and still live there. It’s about kindness, community and being a friendly decent human being. When I see a person the first thing I notice is their eyes and if they are smiling. We wave at strangers and help someone we see that may be in need. We all watch out for each other and don’t put up with crime, period. I will say a phone is the second thing I reach for…my firearm will always be first. Thank you so much for your reaction. I wished more people had an open mind. God bless 🙏🏻
I appreciate you, Antionette for taking the time to listen and make a post. As side note...Jason Aldean was performing on the Las Vegas strip on Oct. 1, 2017 when a mass shooter shot into the audience. The shooter killed 60, injured @ 413. I think that makes him more than qualified to write a song about protecting your Family and Community.
It was multiple shooters and probably a DS false flag.
And bunny boy ran without trying to tell his audience to run.
Guess it just wasn't a small town
@@lightatthecape2009would u have stayed and helped everybody out? Or maybe it's like any other megastar. All security and guards were forcing him out?
@@lightatthecape2009 ??? Right dumbazz because you need a weatherman to tell you that its raining while you're standing in a torrential downpour.
Yes ma'am, this song is about community ,helping your neighbor and looking out for each other... I'm an old white woman raised in a mostly black community and I've seen racisin first hand ...this song is not racist ...thank you for your positive comments beautiful
I am from a small town and went to a church where my family and one other person were the only white folks. I was embraced with such love and put in the choir (the only child in the choir). My mama was asked to play the piano and sing specials with a trio. When our water got tuned off because my daddy got laid off they took up a special collection for us paid our bill got us groceries and the collection of money was given to us for anything us we may have needed. It wasn't just a few dollars either it was quite a bit. When we moved they cried with us and gave us a going away party with food and presents. I am still very close to them til this day and it's been 34 years. I called them Aunties and Uncles and the elders I called Grammy and grandad. I love these people with all my heart and if I thought this song was in anyway racist I would be very upset and speak out about it. I agree with others here stating this is about community and togetherness. "Love thy neighbor" , respect and patriotism.
I don't see why we all white or black can't just love one another and be there for each other when we are going through hard times.
I am Hispanic & I used to live in the Black Community for 31 years. I lived next to a all Black Baptist Church. My 11 yr. old brother developed a brain tumor, and underwent " Brain Surgery"
The Nerosurgeon told my parents that my brother might not make it during the surgery& if he did he wouldn't be able to walk or talk. My brother lived to
Retirement age after working more than 30 yrs. of his life. He was married for 20 yrs. And lived a normal life with
Some pain but he is still alive.Right before my Mother passed in 2019, we discussed how it was a miracle my brother was still alive with a " stint" from his brain to his abdomen. People who had that type of surgery normally don't live that long. As we were talking
she said.." If it wasn't for the " Baptist Church" near our old home many year's ago, your brother would have never made it. She then proceeded to tell me how that entire " Black Congregation" got on their knees and prayed for my brother.Tears filled my eye's, I said, " Mom" " How did they know?" She said, " I never told the Pastor anything", " I guess " God" does work Miracles"
THANK YOU FOR YOUR sweetness and honesty, I have such great hope hearing this because we MUST MUST MUST come alongside each other ........ not tear each other down. How beautiful it would be if we could help everyone succeed.......
I'm a 64 year old white woman and I love this song. The reason many MSM and such are trying to cancel it is because it unites us. Don't you feel it? It's patriotic. It reminds us of what We the People, the united citizens of this country, miss most. It is time to take back our friendships and get to know our neighbors again. Together we can do anything. It's not time for President Trump to drain the swamp, it's time for us to do it.
We still need Trump
I love what you said here!
I totally agree
@@elvercomable I completely agree. He does what he says he will and he calls out the BS of the swamp.
Saying you are a white woman is racism ,if you expect to get credibility from saying you are a white woman, why would you bring your race into the conversation if you are not racist?
Not generally a country music fan but Jason Aldean's song rocks and the message is spot on.
I'll listen to it on occasion, but honestly I'm more of an electronic music fan, going to a huge bass music festival later this year. Try That in a Small Town however, hits super hard both instrumentally and with it's message. I've listened to this song every day since the music video was released
@@atoftw4256
Just found some electronic/house kinda esoteric music in a free box. Really liking it. The only country music ever got into was Hoyt Axton (though he might be considered more "Americana") and Elidiaes Ochoa, Cuban "country" star.
Aldean's song really hits home coz I'm an Eastern Oregonian with family in Portland. Was there during the fiery but mostly peaceful riots which were astoundingly destructive and had nothing whatsoever to do with fighting muh raycizms and sheeyit.
Useful Idiots serving the Corporate Billionaires Banking Cartel.
I am a 41 year old black man who loves the heck out this song! Jason, did the dog gone thing with this one. ;)
I’m puertorican and I love it… makes me teary eyed because we’ve sunk so low.
I am a 61 year old white woman and Although, I live in a major city. We really just need to all come together and fight the division that this administration is promoting. We all ( all races, all colors) need to stand up tall and love each other. Not be divided and not hate each other. Stop judging someones race because of a few bad eggs. God dont like ugly. God made all of us as we are and he loves us all the same.
As a country fan from a small town......thank you to EVERYONE supporting the songs message.
Yes, thank you for showing that you support people who are against democracy and human rights.
Amen. I pray for libs daily.

@@justinbrush8488me too. i pray they all disappear.
For me, this is a song people needed. Country folk have a culture of their own, its based on doing good to your neighbor and we don't hate it just because the media does. Matter of fact, We will protect it.
Yes us Country Folk do have a culture of our own💯
Thankyou Yes we Do. Take care of Family We Pray and Walk the Talk. There is No Color. Respect is Given When Shown. Vice Versa! We're just Country Folk trying to do the Best we can. ❤❤
thank you.
The media is based in the cities and the national media is based in NYC and DC. They don't know us and they aren't interested in knowing us. I am fine with that; but I am NOT fine with them misrepresenting us for their own purposes.
I'm 64yrs. old from Louisiana
..There's nothing wrong with this song... In fact I love this song...❤
The media is so bent on keeping us divided, and I must say that all of the reactions I have read over this song shows me that we the people are not as divided as they would like for us to be.
It really does my heart good.
Isn't it the truth? MOST people care about people regardless of race but the Media and these groups are hell-Bent to cause division and hate. It angers me so much. Just keep loving!
The media is bought and paid for by the idiots that want to destroy America. They are once again trying to do damage control after Hunter Biden’s fight in the courts crashed and burned. They are trying to cover that all up from we the people. Thank you Antoinette for taking your time to post this with your views. The song came out in May and no complaints then! Kind of funny! The song is great; the message is great and We the People get it! So keep up the hood work everyone and we will win this.
Best song ever saying what alot of us feel. Tired of this bs.
Thank you! I’m from a town of 500. White black Hispanic and we have a Vietnamese family here. We look out for each other. We don’t care what color you are. We care how you act. We don’t have a police force. We rely on County. And they are 20 minutes away!
When it comes down to it, you're responsible for your own safety in the long run. Best case scenario, the cops are only a reactionary force. They'll never be there before something happens only after
are we from the same town ?
Very good song nothing wrong with it
@@charlottebarnett3338,the only people that call this song racist or divisive is those people that believe in rioting or are racist themselves.
I love the part where the older man says: "you need some help, you'll get it."
With conviction, I know that is true by the way he said it! We are so used to being divided and lied on and we are tired of it!!
God bless you all
This song makes me emotional. Just watching the video it absolutely disgusts me that people act that way. God bless our country. This song is great and I love Jason Aldean. It just makes me respect him so much more that he made this song and doesn't back down to everyone trying to cancel him.
I think his already large fan base just got a lot bigger with this song. The cancel culture is just a small group blown way out of proportion by the media.
Me too, I got goose bumps all over!
I agree 💯 The video does piss me off but not bc it's racist or inciting violence. It's showing how disgraceful people are. Which is sad and pathetic.
Black people are so embarrassing. They commit more crimes than the rest of the country combined. Plus, everybody is afraid to arrest, prosecute and sentence black criminals. Liberal “logic” and these disgusting democrats have infiltrated all walks of life and are using to brainwash kids and vulnerable citizens.
MERICA!!!!!!!
AMEN sister. I'm 57 year old guy from small town in Montana. I love all you PATRIOTS, you are my brothers and sisters.
I'm not American nor into country, I'm mixed race, I absolutely love this, he speaks truth, I know a few small town Americans who wouldn't think twice about dealing with those kinds of idiots
Bad things happen to everybody. When it's your turn you have a choice. You can be a survivor or you can be a victim out in the country. You have to fend for yourself. They choose to be survivors not victims
This song has zero racism in it. The film clips were on the news. The theme of this song is community coming together.
I love this song, it says what every decent person is feeling right now. We're tired of criminals running amok!
And the politicians and mainstream media supporting bad behavior.
Every decent god fearing Christian in this country is feeling right now that they would become violent in their small town if the woke mob showed up.
Criminals come in all shapes and colors. Media focuses on black criminals to piss off white people. Everyone needs to step back and think about who really benefits from all of this crap. We ( all races) are being manipulated for a bigger agenda. People need to wake up, or we all will awake in a completely different country
Criminals like your politicians?
@@cottoncali5116 assuming you're a Dem and you can't see the bigger picture, then God help you
Gives me cold chills. Fills my heart with hope. I love my neighbors and my community.
I’m 42 and live in a very small town and everything in this song rings true, we will take care of our own community and it’s people no matter what race, religion or sexual orientation!!! It takes a village and there’s no better village then a small town 😊♥️
You seem like such a sweet soul and love your reaction. It's so encouraging to see so many from such different backgrounds agreeing and pushing back on the mainstream attempts to manipulate us into division. This song is meant to unite, and your words - along with the countless comments here - reflect that.
Thank you, God bless you, and God Bless these *United* States of America.
I was born in Chicago and my wife is from a small town in southern Illinois. It is two totally different worlds. We live in the suburbs now and I cringe whenever we have to go back into Chicago for doctor’s appointments, other business, or just tourist activities. Last year we had a drive by occur from three cars behind us while we were sitting at a red light. Just last week two guys were racing each other on motorcycles on the sidewalk where shoppers and children were walking. My wife’s small town is exactly like the song. The biggest inconvenience is having to leave extra time when going to Walmart because you will meet someone you know and talk awhile. When I go to the tobacco shop to buy my cigars the owner always tells me to say hello to my wife. It seems like everyone there owns a firearm or several and yet there is rarely, if ever, a murder. When someone is sick or passed away they come together and bring meals to the family or hold an auction to help pay medical expenses. One of the town’s native sons was shot in the line of duty as a police officer in St. Louis. He was highlighted in the county fair parade. As the car he was riding approached us you could hear the roar of applause get louder. It really is a different world. They do have problems. There are not many jobs. The fire department is volunteer. There is the occasional meth lab and child abuse. Not only the police take care of it, but if you’re back out of jail you’d be better off moving somewhere else. They don’t put up with crime like that. Another song similar to this is about 40 years old and by Hank Williams Jr. called “A Country Boy Can Survive” and it compares rural and urban life nicely as well.
Those same good old boys kidnapped and killed 14 year old Emmitt Till. Till supposedly whistled at a white woman, which 50 years later find out that was a lie. That’s what happens in small towns.
Awesome comment man. I can relate a little bit. I live in Missouri probably only a few hours from that small souther Illinois town you talked about.
Illinoisian born and raised. My town isn't a small town, but sure as hell happy we aren't the size of Chicago, Springfield, or Peoria even. Love my community. And same, my local tobacco shop owner knows me, and the co-owners. We have problems... but nothing like the bigger cities. And hopefully we never get there. I'd miss the fields too much.
Hey I'm from Chicago and my wife is from boone nc, its a small town better than the city life, I haven't heard the song, but what I hear of it ,about crimes drugs killing thefts getting out of hands by the criminals, probably let out ,when we were in covid yr ,out on release bonds has the least charges by the democraps so now its far to gone ,the democraps wants to blame the republican for the mess they made ,so for the song this guy singing, is the truth of our nation, whats, going on and the democraps doesn't want the the truth, they rather hear a lie that is there truth and the Republicans are the troubled people,,,Billy Mosley of boone nc republican lets go Brandon
I'm small town too but I also realize that it's not just BLM causing and wreaking havoc as depicted in the video. Wh Supps and NN cause a lot of problems also and start trouble. The words in the song don't match what the video shows. That's the core of the problem with the video. The focus of blame is pointed only at one group.
EXACTLY LIKE ITS SUPPOSE YO BE SIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SANITY. This song is about strength and unity. They want us divided and scared. NOT HAPPENING
Aman to that. I agree 100%
The entire lyrics of the song are about: Don't go around looking for trouble and don't disturb the peace.
I'm a 63 year old white man from Indiana, and I've been waiting for a person of color to tell me what part of this song is racist. I don't even listen to country music any more but the internet and media has me looking and watching. Hey girl thanks for your listen and honest opinion !
So since white is a color toon..what have your friends said about it?
Sir, I'm a 50yo woman of color and I'm also waiting for people of color to tell me what exactly is racist about this song! We will be waiting forever for a valid answer because as we both know there is NOTHING racist about this song! The race card pullers/junkies are just projecting because they live to cause chaos and confusion! It's petty, pathetic and embarrassing. I love this song and it's message! I also love country music, the Midwest and white men, country boys in particular, all of which have treated me well and make me feel good!! I was liking all this loooooong before it was popular to do so. At the end of the day it's about character NOT color, taking care of one another and standing up for what's right!! Again, there's NOTHING racist about the song! Racist need to STOP trying to keep racism alive! Let it die already and choose to move forward and make progress in life!✌🏽

I'm glad to see that you have the original version, Antionette. They changed the Official Version just a day or so ago, cutting several things including the spoken section about small town people helping each other. It's a great loss,. To me, that was the best bit, the voice of the older farmer who needed help was very moving. And today I looked back at many of the reaction videos I had already seen and the cuts were already there in videos that had been complete before. Keep that video in your archives, it would be very sad for it to be lost!
Great commentary, I'm a new subscriber now!

I’m a 76 year old white woman. This song reminds me of my youth when people gathered to help neighbors when something happened. Race was something horses did at the track. Neighbors were just that…neighbors, no matter what color, religion or lifestyle. Too sad that we have come so far from those days.
Have to take a moment to echo everything you have said. I'm a 76 year old white man...and I'd really enjoy having you for a neighbor! Thank you, Rich
We became too United so now they have to divide so they can conquer.
My grandmother that was born in 1927 use to tell us stories of the old days when she was young and how everyone took care of each other like if one person in the neighborhood butchered an animal all the neighbors would get some sent to them. She grew up in very hard times and you had to help each other to survive.

It's trying to push an agenda. Thank you for speaking the truth .
Jason Aldean thinks riots and violence doesn't happen in small towns. What Jason Aldean forgets is that all those small towns (in the south, and some in the north too) "Main Street" used to be named "Lynch Street" because they were the origin of race riots and mob violence. Those small towns burned crosses in people's front yards, and smashed the windows of every minority owned business that dared open, and not in one night or week of protest, but for decades.
Small town folk are no different morally from city folk. They're just better at hiding the skeletons in the closet
I love ya girl. I am in my 50’s and grew up in Illinois and Kansas in small towns. You are right there is no racism in that song at all. In my time if your neighbor was sick you helped out. If there was a family in the town that needed help ya just pitched in and helped. I really don’t get where it all comes from with the racism stuff. We all need to get back to the roots of loving caring and helping each other the way we did so many years ago.
Yup, central IL
I just want to say that I commend each and every person that is actually listening to the song and it’s lyrics. The song is about a community coming together to help each other in need. Let’s look at all the rap music being played out there with the lyrics and the meaning behind them, it’s awful. This song actually stands for something! Something you can be proud of!
I support this song but to be fair you're also generalizing all rap music while there is some rap music that is awful some rap music rap about peace and helping each other too.
I’m a 71 yo white woman and I’m not seeing anything racist about this song. I’m pretty liberal but this has been blown way out of proportion. I was raised in small towns and he’s just speaking truth. Thanks for your reaction 🙏🏼👵🏼💜☮️
Antoinette, the angry, hateful ones are loud. Good people often do what they do rather quietly, under the radar, if you will. You have a very good heart. Glad you did the review and the reaction.
How can you have lived on this earth for 71 years and still be liberal. Time to wake up ma'am. You're on the wrong side of history.
Hate is on the naysayers mind. Jason Aldean is Country, Country USA will defend our rights under the constitution as WE THE PEOPLE. Foreign and domestic
I like the song nothing racist about and it got good beat.
I come from a small town. Born and raised. This song speaks volumes! Doesn’t matter race, walk of life, or where you come from. Small towns, we have each others backs! It’s the way the world should operate! Much love to ALL! ❤
Such incredible generalizations!
It`s a great song. I`ve listened to the song several times. And watched the video several times. I love the song and video. It sends out a positive message. It shows real news footage. Nothing is reenacted. Not only should this song be a motto for small towns. Burt for big towns, big cities, and small cities alike. My family came from two small towns. Zemach, Poland. Of course, that was during the first and second world wars. And Bradford, Pennsylvania. Families knew each other. That was in the 1950s and 1960s.
And of course. In the 1970s and 1980s. After moving to Brooklyn, New York. Way after I was born back in 1968. The whole family, used to vacation in Lake George, New York. The mind set is different. Things move at a slower pace. And I believe. When people move from a small town, to a big city. They bring those small town values with them. Plus there are small towns all over the world.
What the song basically says. One, or many people come here. Whatever garbage all of you plan on doing. Don`t do. And if you do. We`ll chase you out of here. But it also says. But it also says. You`re welcome to stay here. And not break the law. And don`t do any nonsense. At least that`s what I think.
Plus. Back in 2009. I saw Jason Aldean and his band. live in concert. In the small town in Rhinebeck, New York, at The Dutchess County Fair. Him and his band put on a great show. And the ticket price was a decent price. At $25.00. And the concert was outside. It`s not like a major arena. Where it sits 40,000 thousand people. This outdoor grandstand sits at least, 500 or more people.
I don`t see or hear any negativity in the song or video. But the short film shows the negativity from actual news footage. Because. back in 2020. After the Derek Chavin George Floyd incident. That`s all I saw on the news every day. A peaceful protest is one thing. Where many people march and chant. Maybe a few public speakers here and there. I don`t know. And call it a day and go home.
But vandalizing personal, and municipal property. That`s not part of a protest. And that`s grounds for arrest and jail time.
I don`t have a problem with real news footage being shown. But the left has a problem with it. And the leftist media problem with it. And the leftists Hollywood elitists, have a problem with it. And the few leftist musicians have a problem with it. Well, they need to stop whining. Grow up. Smell the coffee. Stop with the infantile behavior. And behave themselves properly. And stand with Mr. Jason Aldean and his song.
And that`s the bottom line.
I'm SO GLAD that they are feeling SO THREATENED by
this GREAT PATRIOTIC song
& video! ❤🙏🇱🇷🌍
My hometown was hit hard a couple weeks ago. Everybody in the community even us that have moved away came together with prayers, financially and supporting them. They needed us and we took care of them and still are.
Illinois?
I live in ND a SMALL Township,700 people,one cop,no crime,99% farmers and if someone needs help we pull together to help thee family or person who needs help! This song 🎵 is perfect and I love it!! Keep up thee great work Jason!! Amen 🙏 God bless you and your family 👪 🙏📖✝️🕊⚘🕊🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤
I want to live in your town.

This is exactly why I moved to a small town! I lived in a city where violence is everywhere! All races were involved! There's not a color to crime!
Thankyou for your honest reaction! My parents both raised in small communities instilled in us that all are God's children and to treat others as we want to be treated. I lost them both this year, but will be forever grateful for their teaching. We need to be looking out for each other, especially now with all the craziness going on. God Bless!
Jason said nothing wrong. It goes on every where!!
I cry every time I hear this song because it reminds me of when I was a kid and everyone in my Neighbors would help each other and now days everyone scared to help each other ... I miss those days. Mind you I was raised in an all black apartment complex as the only white family ... my neighbors were like family to me. I love this song more people should hear it and take it to heart.
I grew up in a small town. I love this song!it's just a different world in a small town, where everyone helps each other, and everyone is your friend. We were not taught racism. We were taught the love of Jesus. The upper elite are trying to separate us. We need to stick together!
The political base for today's progressivism is not the working class like the old progressives, but the educational, cultural, media, and economic elites. The center of that ideology is Ivy League universities spreading out to others (the more elite, the more progressive), the New York Times, Hollywood, government - not the fields and factories. The income and power disparities between, say, the top 10% (of any race) and the rest is vastly greater than the differences between ordinary people of different races, so they are saying "look over there - that's your real enemy" so we won't notice.
It's convenient for them to diffuse the blame to include working class white people (and exclude wealthy Black people). Have the ordinary people fight among themselves for the crumbs, by fostering a racial divide as "the real problem".
We have to stick together in a multi-racial coalition of ordinary people, treating each other with mutual dignity, and working together to fix the real problems faced by real people, rather than the contrives problems they want to make us concentrate on.
I want to nuance this a bit; I know a lot of progressive people and most of them are decent caring people. I'm not saying that all of the elites are consciously conspiring to produce the situation I described above (tho I can see how it could be taken that way). It's more that a certain radical perspective hatched in parts of academia has appealed to people at the top of society, for unconscious reasons. This is more about assessing the situation we find ourselves in, rather than trying to demonize any group of people or impute evil intentions. However, we know what the road to H is paved with. I don't want to harm those people, I just want to trim their disproportionate power over the rest of us.
People are fed up and he put what's going on in a song to let people know Don't try that in a small town, cuz it ain't going to work people need to get a handle on this violence and destruction, Jason Aldean got to the breaking point that he is over it and he put it in a song.
Going to see him here in Ahwatukee Phoenix Arizona in October looking forward to it.
Thank you for putting the word out young lady, with your point of view.
I've seen this song numerous times and I love it more every time I hear it.
This song should bring us all together. If every city in America had community like we do in a small town the world would be better. Believe if you're in my neck of the woods, regardless of color, you are protected and I'll stand up and fight for you.
What if they’re green with big 👀 and slim bodies?
@@ChrisBrown-hr6mcstill protected
If this song pisses you off your a closed minded person,all he’s saying is love and help your community. Protect your family and all your possessions you work hard for. At all cost
She said she’s mad, not at Jason Alden or the song.
Protect family and community, possessions will be less important as you get on in age.
I think it's funny how people feel this is close-minded, but you are here saying that them trying to hlbe open to all is being close minded.
Not a country music fan, but I love this song and all that it stands for. Can you imagine the outrage people would have today with John Cougar’s song “Small Town”? People today just try to drum up racism and whatever in places that it’s not.
Not "people", try "the media"...
And what's so unacceptable is it's coming from White Elites pushing an invalid agenda to tear US apart. Yes there are extremist in every generation but these ppl are so far off base it's scary . They know nothing of what they speak. This Man is being destroyed .
Elitist White Media pushing this divisive evil and weak minded followed who refuse to think for themselves .
We are all hurting , we are all in pain. Let's come together and heal.
@@ElaineLee-r8s very true!
Antionette, you did the right thing. You listened to the song and made up your own mind. I happen to Love that song. It says alot about the state of our country. Thanks !!!! ✌🏻♥️
Thank you for being a REAL reaction channel. And what you said is exactly 💯 percent right. What he means by taking care of our own is the small town community. I'm from a small town and regardless of race religion politics we help and look out for one another. Just as our country as a whole should. Again Thank you for your REAL reaction. God Bless
I love country music and I'm pissed at CMT!!! Stay strong Aldean America needs more people like you !!!
Unfortunately country is starting to go woke
My answer is WHO or WHAT is C.M.T.
@@davidwadsworth8982 country music television I believe.. like MTV
If you're watching CMT you can't love country music...cause there is none there.
@@josephwitcofsky1359 Drag Queen bit on Awards Show ended my watching. All you need to know. A.B.C./Disney own a piece of of the channel.Robin Roberts a lesbian progressive who never listened to country music for an hour in her whole her life was a host? Stay George Strait Tobey Country Strong. Time for that Red Neck revolt.
Aldean was performing in Las vegas and witnessed the aftermath of Oct. 1, 2917. Watching the destruction of property for almost a year all over country, it hit to many. His song is one of open your eyes to Everyone! My parents are from a small town, I was raised with morals and what is right and what is wrong and Believe in God. This song is needed.
Country music has sucked for years. Cash, Haggard, Nelson andJennings say more with one line than that so called country song.
@nancycrowley6255 then why comment. Go away. This song speaks volume about how a lot of us Americans feel. Doesn't matter the color of their skin.
@nancycrowley6255 You have the right to your opinion . Just because you don't like country music doesn't mean other people don't it . Your comment says you're a selfish person and don't think or care for others .
And the funny thing is when something like that happens at one of your concerts, the singer or band would instantly change to "We need gun control." Jason Aldean never did that.
@@nancycrowley6255 Seriously? You really think this song says nothing important?
We need this song more than ever today.
We need to start calling these journalist, influencers or whatever they lable them out on their bs like calling this song racist and knowing it isn't.
Time to cancel the problems
The media masters make it about race to keep you distracted and divided as they steal the country out from under us. Look up all the CEOs of the news and music outlets and you will find the real enemies of the people.
That's right I'm 55 when I was little we showed up for our community. My mom taught me not to turn my back on my community and God help me if I disrespected anyone. I went to a country school when we moved to town and I switched to city school my first grade teacher was black and because of her I loved ppl because I loved her.
I listened to this song many times trying to understand why it is offensive. This song basically is a patriotic song that exposes the group of people that is causing havoc in our country and disrupting the foundation of our core values and beliefs. The small towns are symbolizing our traditional American values and beliefs and would not let this group of people destroy our country. Only those being exposed would find this song offensive and want to shut it down. It is time we all unite together to get rid of those perverts and criminals from our societies.
I'm a Mexican American man born in Cali now work in a small town in Wisconsin and this song is the best.
As a girl born in the big city and then moved to the smallest town that my father could find - i don't find anything wrong with the song or video either.
I'm 100% rock and roll - but i do like this song and appreciate it's message
Fact.....and Roll Tribe!!!
The song was nice, I am with you girl! Yep…some songs call women everything but a women…this song is American. I am a black woman, I enjoy country music ❤
This is a great song regardless if you like country music or not. It pulls at your heart and makes you open your eyes to how far our country has fallen. Hurts alot. The main reason so many people despise this song is because it exposes what they think is ok but it's pure evil & UnAmerican! True Americans help each other out regardless of color or creed or religion. God have mercy on us as a country. 🙏
I'm a 60 year old white man from Oregon and I feel the same way! I love this song more every time I hear it! And I have yet to hear one black person listening to this song for the first time say that they hear something racist in this song. Thank you Antionette Tv for sharing from your heart!.
It’s not us black folks. We all love the song. Hell I sing dirt road anthem and my kinda party all the time for karaoke here in Mississippi and Louisiana. Some folks just want to divide us. But together we will stand United. Americans. Black white and purple. All of us together. Nothing but love
Ditto! I’ve subscribed to so many channels thanks to their views on this song! The left can’t divide us!
Hey a fellow Oregonian! ✊
I’m a few miles south of Salem.
@@jdisdeterminedhi there neighbor
Hello neighbors.
This song is awesome and not at all racist. Its about community. Now whilst we are losing our community spirit surely this will prompt us ALL to come together and defend what's right and decent. Sending love to EVERYONE ❤❤❤
Thank ya Ma'am, n same ta y'alls 🙏🏻🇺🇸
We need more people to unite
One Nation Under God 🇺🇸🇺🇸
We always were but greedy people for whom fighting and division are key to their ongoing success are responsible for false narratives and inciting the behaviors we are seeing today. Luckily GOOD people are waking up worldwide. We just have to persevere harder to bring these people down and show them for WHO and WHAT they are
It's all about coming together as a community to help each other out without the violence and crime and protecting our bill of rights.
Which is exactly why MSM wants it canceled. Keep us separated by some fake racism and we will never unite
Thanks for standing behind this song. I myself don’t listen to a lot of his music, but this one hits home! God bless you Jason don’t back down from the truth. That’s what wrong with this nation we’ve lost respect for our flag, our country, and our fellow man. It doesn’t matter, black, white, or red we ARE ONE. Let’s stop all the false stuff and get back to loving and caring for our fellow man. ❤
We live in a small town. The town took away this old man's stuff off the road he was selling because the town saw it as an eye sore. We as a community got him a generator and food. He is a war vet and stand next to him. Oh yeah. He's black.
❤
❤❤❤❤
'That's what a community is supposed to do"... EXACTLY!!! Well said!
This song speaks volumes of truth.
I am a 64 yr old white woman . I Was Born and raised in a small city in NY State. I was raised people are people. Good and bad in all. I wasn't raised to see color and in our area all colors get along❤
This song represents the very spirit of this country. It's community, it's supporting each other, it shows a strong moral compass. It is not racist, it's not religious, nor does this video encourage violence. It shows that in any small town no matter the color, you don't show respect in it, you get none in return.
