Well, I don’t listen to country music. But honestly, I’m probably the wrong person to ask because I hate rednecks as much as I do Donald Trump and anything else he’s associated with. I mean, the camo, the lifted trucks with gun stickers on the back, the fake patriotism, and the deep fried bigotry wrapped in “family values”…. Um, it’s a no from me.
So when it comes to Toby Keith? I don’t know if he was racist. But if he wasn’t, he did a fantastic job marketing to people who are. I mean, dots aren’t hard to connect, so connect them. Those who cannot connect the dots, you’re either ignoring them, or you’re part of the picture.
Am I being biased? Yep, 100%. But I also have a very strong, unapologetic bias about those people. I don’t pretend to be neutral because I hate redneck culture for what it celebrates and excuses. As far as what my hubby meant, he just connected the dots. It’s not exactly a puzzle when you know what you’re looking at. Know what I mean?
That said, those people can sing and talk in all the coded language they want — flags, freedom, “values”, the whole script. They’re not fooling me. I know exactly what I’m looking at.
