The vast majority of them also do not go to college football games and tailgate parties. They will watch at home but spending the kind of money it takes to go to a game and tailgate properly is not cheap...and the majority of folks in rural america do not have the kind of income needed. Neither do most Americans in urban areas.

U can not be serious ,this has got to to be a troll. If u watch the video and listen to the words u would see that all it does is show the level of stupid violence committed by people in big cities. Has nothing to do with being racism. It just tells the truth that a large segment of the population does not want to accept. Also
tells the one committing this unwarranted violence that it will not be tolerated in a small town.


Stupid shite which most definitely happened in big and small cities across the US did not happen in a vacuum. It didn't happen last night. Nor the night before. It happened for a reason that everyone ought to be concerned about regardless of politics or race...the state executing people for minor offenses is a bad idea and not one that should be tolerated in a civilized society. Its a bad idea from a policing perspective...it makes a tough job infinitely harder...if for no other reason than wanting to make certain police are safe and effective everyone ought to be concerned anytime someone is killed by a cop no matter the circumstance...but instead some folks dream of it happening more often. Cops who kill people wind up suffering from emotional issues all too often because they are human beings. From a pure humanitarian perspective it is a bad idea. When it is sensationalized the results are catastrophic...yet many are perfectly fine with it.

Wait, earlier you said you supported peaceful protests. Jan 6 was an unguided tour of the House of Representatives at worst.

We'll start with pulling out all the troops in Iraq AGAINST THE ADVICE OF ALL HIS MILITARY ADVISORS. This allowed ISIS to form and cost the lives of countless Americans when we had to go back in. Not to mention the lives of the Iraqis who helped us, like the judge who sentenced Saddam.

Then we will move onto Benghazi. When he refused and turned back a rescue operation American military leaders were mounting. He had those leaders removed from command to halt the rescue. Then his sorry arse went to bed while Americans were dying. He has a big fund raiser with Beyonce and Jay Z the next day. He and Hillary need to swing on the same gallows for that.

Now let's talk about gun running into Syria. Which was why Gaddifi had to be taken out. A move that destabilized the entire Middle East.

Gun running? How many died because of Fast and Furious? Holder and Obama's gun running operation to the Mexican cartels?

Now we will move onto killing an American teenager with a drone strike. WITHOUT DUE PROCESS.

Now let's discuss how he made $40 million while in office.

Hell, this could go on all day.

I think it’s the “insinuation” of the lyrics combined with the location of the video, a church where a historically notorious lynching took place and video shots of riots.



The lyrics are just poorly written LOL. First of all if you did any of the things mentioned in any small town in the US chances are good that no one would notice because there'd be too few people around to notice. Part of the attraction of living in a small town is the lack of folks all around.

"Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk". Don't even pretend like this is something that never happens in a small town LOL...and if it did chances are pretty good that the puncher would walk off and leave a bunch of dumbfounded folks standing around mouth agape...and the odds of it happening in a big town are infinitely small.

"Carjack an old lady at a red light" again, do that in a small town and 99 times out of a hundred, just like in NY or LA, bystanders will watch shellshocked and only react as the car speeds away. And, of course, infinitely small chance of it happening anywhere.

"Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store". Again, just as likely to get shot in Atlanta doing this as a small town. And it is just as likely to happen per capita in a small town.

"Cuss out a cop, spit in his face". The same shite will happen in Chicago as will happen in rural Illinois. The cop will over react and you go to jail. And again, happens almost NEVER, at least the spitting part. I would posit that were you wont to cuss cops doing so in a large city is probably less likely to result in the cop over reacting than in a small town. Standers by in both places will merely watch to see what happens.

"Stomp on the flag and light it up". No doubt folks in rural areas are far less tolerant of free speech...not exactly a ringing endorsement of rural life though for the vast majority of people. And, again, as likely to happen in a small town as a large city.

"Got a gun that my granddad gave me They say one day they're gonna round up Well, that shite might fly in the city, good luck" Fevered ramblings of an apparent victim of mental illness. No one wants your gun. No one is coming after it. If they ever do you can be guaranteed that it will happen far easier in rural areas than in cities just based on numbers alone. It ain't a thing but if you suffer from irrational fears logic ain't your strong suit to begin with...

"Full of good ol' boys, raised up right If you're looking for a fight"

This last one is probably the silliest. Folks who are raised in small towns have less education, earn less money and do not live as long as people in urban areas. They also commit violent and non violent crimes more readily that people born in and raised in Urban areas, crime stats are readily available. Raised up right??? In what meaningful way??? Because they know how to fight??? Really??? How many modern day boxing champions or MMA champs hail from small towns??? Is being raised right the reason that free speech is less tolerated in small towns???

Protest songs are great. They have moved mountains and changed lives. They only do these things when the songwriter is not taking a Don Quixote stand against windmills like Aldean is....but I am certain it will work for a small segment of those among us suffering from irrational fears.

Just really really bad writing here. If you made a VIN diagram of the people who say that one day they are going to round up guns and people who like the lyrics of this song there'd be pair of duplicate circles overlaying one another perfectly with nary an outlier. Only people saying this silly shite are people who think someone wants their gun. Sane people do not say it in small towns or large cities...but the small number of bumbling idiots who are scared of their own shadow think it is a bona fide fact. You can't account for such ignorance, bless their hearts.

That’s a top 5 most ignorant thing I’ve read in a while.

You think UGAs tailgate and fanbase are from major metro areas?
Let’s say a small town is a population under 20,000 (or you can define it if you wish) in the south. In Ga that’s the overwhelming majority of land outside the metro Atlanta area. And those towns have generational ties that leads to significantly different disposable income than the average larger city and a willingness to spend it. When it cost less to live somewhere and you have a community supporting you and prioritize things it’s easier to spend money. And be assured that those small towns have money. And they spend it on things they enjoy instead of status. They grew up with season tickets in the family and carry on the tradition.

I never said any fan base was composed of folks from urban or rural areas my friend....I said that the majority of folks in rural areas do not go to CFB games and tailgates, and that is a bona fide fact. There are nealy 11 million people in Georgia. About 6 million of those are from Atlanta. On any given game day there will be about 120,000 or so in Athens which is a medium sized city, the 6th largest in the state. That is 1.09% of the state. Thus the vast majority aint going

The government isn’t going to take your guns.
Pistol Braces arbitrarily made illegal to possess without a stamp
Bumpstocks made arbitrarily illegal to possess without a stamp
Changing rules governing ammunition to artificially cause shortages
Arbitrarily changing age requirements for ownership
Defunding NICs call centers to create a de facto wait period
Changing tracking on banking transactions to target firearms and ammunition sales
Changing zoning laws to force shops and ranges out of business
Tracking and limiting ammunition sales via the internet
Requiring a separate ID/Authorization card for ammunition and firearms sales(FIOD cards)
The idiotic “assault weapons” ban
Halting the reimportation of firearms and ammunition to restrict sales
Embargoes on foreign made firearms
Embargoes on foreign made ammunition
National pushback on castle doctrine and stand your ground laws
Killing the HUSH act
Restrictions on hunting land and licensing as well as limits that cause more harm than good.

But no one is coming for your guns. But you can only own approved firearms, limited ammunition (and only certain kinds) and you will not be allowed to modify your firearms or make your own ammunition and they must be kept in an approved location and you can’t use them to defend yourself or your family or your property.

I am willing to bet that if you attended a game and visited tailgates atleast half if not the majority would be from towns of less than 20,000 people. 120,000 people in Athens so 75,000 between the tailgate and game are not from Athens or Atlanta statistically.

People in Atlanta rarely leave Atlanta for day trips. Mostly because there is really nothing outside of Atlanta to do for those that have adjusted to Atlanta, it’s a world unto itself. And if we are talking just the city limits of Atlanta the per capita income is under 55,000(median under 70,000) ( Source) despite the ridiculous cost of living ( Comparison between Maryville TN and Atlanta GA). I would go from comfortable to needing a part time job just to live in Atlanta. Higher income doesn’t necessarily mean more disposable income.
