Jason Aldean struck Internet gold when he released his hit song "Try that in a a Small Town" and the video that came out for it, portraying rioters and criminals as the scumbags they are. Aldean wanted to send a message that he was sick of the criminals ruining the nice things in America and Aldean basically dared those rotten hoodlums to "try that in a small town" suggesting there would be a response if they did. Of course, it's just a song for entertainment purposes, but the point is solid. But of course, the leftists in America said Aldean was being racist. While it wasn't Aldean's intent to be racist, he was just targeting criminals. Now whatever color Democrats think the criminals are, that's on THEM for assuming and suggesting that all criminals are Black.
Aldean went on an interview with CBS Mornings’ Gayle King, as stated on The American Tribune, who reported on the entertainment interview with Jason Aldean in which they discussed the praise and criticism of 'Try that in a Small Town.' That report said:
After playing a clip of the song, King said, “Now, critics say the song and its music video is full of racial undertones and threats of violence. It’s now one of the singles on Aldean’s new album, whidch is called Highway Desperado. It comes out this week. Our Jan Crawford met up with Aldean at the studio in Nashville where he recorded it. This is his first network news interview about the controversy.”The video then cuts to Crawford’s interview with Aldean. After asking Aldean a few questions about his career and background, Crawford played a clip of people attacking the song, saying, “Jason Aldean’s song is racist. And if you can’t see that you’re part of the problem. What he talked about was people who steal people who carjack people who burn flags, and you interpret that as he must be speaking about black people.”
Crawford then attacked the song, putting Aldean on the spot and asking what he thought about critics saying the song was threatening to black people: “Supporters felt the song upheld small town values in uncertain times. While others heard racism and subtle calls for violence, what was your reaction when you saw people saying that this had racist undertones? And you know, it was like a call to arms you know, it was like a call to arms and small towns. It was a threatening kind of video for black people.”Aldean characterized that as ridiculous, saying, “There was people of all color doing stuff in the video. That’s what I don’t understand. You know, there was there was white people in there, there was black people. I mean, this video did not shine light on one specific group and say, that’s the problem. So and anybody that saw that in the video, then you weren’t looking hard enough in the video, it was all I can tell you.”
Crawford continued attacking the song with verbal suggestions, but Aldean responded perfectly as you can see in the video above.
