Why is it disgusting? I would not mind if he came to my HBCU. I support his right to speak and if my campus said we would host any candidate who got 5% or more, then we would honor our word. Even if it is person we do not like or have the same views.

Beyonce got me to watch the cmas for the first time in decades. Her song epitomized the best of country music - personal story, unique vocal style, new twist on old sound. First time I heard it. Loved it! Please let her take Jolene and turn it into a banging dance track.

Cause the that up there is the truth of country music and the South. You don’t have either without both black folks and white folks. Bout damn time.

Dam. I didn’t know I needed to seehearenjoy that! The Chicks always kick ass. Bey is Bey. Combined.. and at the CMA.. it’s still The Dixie Chicks saying fuck you to their haters.. Bey showing she is not only Queen of all, but that she ain’t too high up to get down with her friends AND show her country side, like she…

I bet his shit would fuck our world up. #richpeopleweed

I would imagine most contemporary CMA fans were waiting breathlessly for Beyoncé. Because that old black dude singing country in the opener confused and frightened them and now the world makes sense again.

Perhaps it’s not racist, just insipid, and your need to find bigotry in a stupid video is just an excuse to not actually do ANYTHING of value to actually elevate people of color. And if this is “more than a little racist” I don’t know how your get out of bed in the morning. (How come the sidewalks are white, while…

Thank goodness Benyoncé wasn’t involved in any way with the production of this video as that would be awkward!

Exactly. But let’s not forget that this site has a tendency to throw white women under the bus much faster than black women. Azealia Banks had to literally threaten to stab someone with a broken bottle before (most of) this site finally turned on her. Her constant use of the word “faggot,” blatant anti-Semitism, etc—…

This is like some weird version of Republican “don’t spit on/burn or otherwise disgrace the flag” patriotism. Simply saying “I’m outraged” isn’t an argument against something. Give a fucking reason, people.

Man, you really have to dig to find this a problem. There’s almost nothing going on in this, at all. It’s incredibly banal. It’s like a celebrity selfie.

not if I take them from you

Hahaaaa, I KNEW about the elevator Close buttons! They’re placebos for alpha types. My friends always look at me like I’m all Tinfoil Hattie whenever I tell them this, though.

Yep. It’s about making white voters feel like they’re not racist for supporting Trump. Talking like this, to a rally full of white people, is 100% not about reaching out to the black community.

totally blank stares

I’m shocked that SWC wasn’t/isn’t more popular and well-loved. I have the whole series on DVD and re-watch episodes randomly on a regular basis.

Strangers With Candy is perfection.
