Toby Keith - Advocate of lynching?

[scaeagles]

I was only commenting on Blueerica's comments regarding how objectionable lyrics can be anywhere in music.

I happen to agree with Alex's assessment of the song. I think, as a general rule, racism is sought out and found in places it doesn't exist.

I have no idea whether or not Toby Keith is a racist. I do know that it is undeniable that racism played a major role in those glory days of lynching that Keith's song reflects positively upon. And as a white southerner, he most likely knows the history associated with that practice. To not only condone it, but long for its return, is troublesome at best.

No. Not even the people who sang it.

How about the lyrics to "Greased Lightening"? Dem's some nasty lyrics.
