Toby Keith - Advocate of lynching?

I think it only came to his attention because Keith recently sang it on Colbert Report to promote his upcoming movie which shares a title.

And honestly, I dunno if I agree with all of you. The only "criminals" shown in the music video are minorities. And the vigilante public hanging from his grandpappy's time was traditionally done to minorities. Sure, it was done to others. But what image do you see in your mind when you hear someone advocate hanging people from trees? I see the image posted in the blog. I think of all of the people who were wrongfully killed that way. And they're mostly minorities.
