Jason Aldean's new song.
Is is racist? Troubling? Anti anything but crime?
This song was released by Jason Aldean, May 2023.
Aldean talks about crime in large cities, and how that behavior is not tolerated in small towns because people care about their communities and have the means to protect themselves. Who feels threatened by this? You know who.

Try That in a Small Town
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Car jack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough
Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
'Round here we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck
Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
'Round here we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
Full of good ol' boys, raised up right
If you're looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town
(See how far ya make it down the road)
'Round here we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town, mm-mm
Try that in a small town

So ask why this was removed from CMT, Country Music Television? Why are radio stations refusing to play it? They've been tolerant of criminal behavior for far too long. Who is finding a problem with law and order? If you live in North America and are aware you have already seen each of these situations on some video post.
Country music is honest and the words don't try to obscure their meanings. Is it a protest? You bet it is and perhaps we can expect more from law abiding citizens who are pissed off about the decline of civility in America.
Is it racist? Or are the people complaining about it the racists who are automatically blaming race for this behavior even though there is not one word about Blacks, Whites, Yellow, Green, Red or Brown people? Why can't so called WOKE songs, Hip Hop and RAP and general anti-everything trash be held to the same standards?
Maybe ask someone.
BTW, it became number 1 on the Billboard Top 100! Perhaps the regular folks like it and are expressing themselves.
Is he anything but a country boy?
