The lynching controversary is the building behind Jason. It's the Courthouse in Columbia TN where a lynching took place in 1927. That fact triggered people.

If you look for racism you’ll find it even if it’s not there. This song has nothing to do with race but if you find it in the song one might need to do rethink if you are the actual racist
During the protests in Louisville, KY, there were some people that decided not to be peaceful and carjackings and break ins and looting were much higher than normal. When our neighborhood heard our local convenient store owner was sleeping on a mattress in his store with a gun every single night after it closed at midnight, the entire neighborhood stepped up and started taking turns guarding the store for him at night so he could sleep at home with his wife and children. He works from 6am until midnight every day, and he deserved a break. The neighborhood adores him and his family, so people were happy to help.
Jason Aldean is a good ol boy from the south. I'm a good old girl from the north North Dakota small town USA. And the only thing Jason Aldean is trying to say is if you want to act a fool do it in your own community and keep it out of the small towns❤❤❤

The reason for the small town is that most people in small towns, like mine, don't have much and have had to fight for everything they have. there is no way we will just give that up to someone that thinks they can just take it.
Also, Aldean wasn't just talking about citizens defending themselves and their neighbors from acts of violence. What Aldean was saying is that ,while crime and violence is often tolerated, ignored, and sometimes even glorified in big cities, small towns do not tolerate such crimes and violence on multiple levels. In small towns civilians come to the aid of others, law enforcement doesn't look the other way, and violent crimes are prosecuted to their fullest extent. Here is a perfect example: When small town Florida sheriff Grady Judd heard that some of those protesting were threatened to take their violence into the neighborhoods of his county he held a press conference where he warned those threatening violence that the citizens of his county like guns, they own guns, he encourages his citizens to own guns, and if they take their violence to those citizens he encourages them to use their guns to defend themselves (said a bit more colorfully). Below is a link to that press conference, for those that want to see it for themselves:
Correct! Man every town needs a sheriff like Grady, he’s always up front and honest about protecting his county… I love when he makes a speech live and peoples mouths just drop 😂 he can put the fear of god in many as he should! ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
I grew up in a small town and whenever we were up to mischief as kids you could bet someone would tell your folks. As for this song, city people just don't get it, they apply their own issues to things like this rather than understanding the small town sense of community.
I lived in a small town of 5,000 in Minnesota. When I was 16 I got pulled over by a town officer. Since he knew who I was, he radioed the SGT on duty, on what to do. The SGT’s response was to let me go, that my Mom would do more than what a ticket would. He was correct. Didn’t get another speeding ticket for another 20 years. That is what a small town is all about.
Great to have you two back doing reactions! This song does not once allude to race in any way, those people who are making it about race are the real issue here.
Cedric, you just reminded me of when I was a kid raised in a small WV town. Doing stuff that young kids do. We broke out some windows of a old abandoned house. Nothing gets by in a small town. By the time I got home I had already gotten 3 whipins from various adults and the phone calls to my mom were flying. Needless to say but it was a terrible night for a dumb ass kid. Great reaction to the vid.
Great commentary. I’m sure this song has helped to build a lot of channels as I have subscribed to many based on your excellent views on these issues. I’m now subscribed to yours. I moved from many cities to get into the mountains in a small town of 2500. My neighbors have a fit if I don’t ask for help around the house. My husband died 8 years ago at 50 years old from PTSD. He witnessed the worst of humanity for 50 years in our community as a police sergeant in the city he grew up in. He loved our community so much he gave his sanity and then his life to protect it from these psycho villains you can see in these clips. We do things different in small towns. I try and grow more food than I need to share it. I put things on the curb I can’t use anymore to help people with less. The majority of my friends are black and Hispanic. They all have one major thing in common and that’s they love our country and are sick of the BS the left is doing to destroy our country.
Great reaction! Didn't know you guys were in Norco. I'm in the city of Orange, CA. We got together when BLM came through our Old Towne circle ,protecting the small businesses. And apparently that court house was the site of a 17 yr old black guy that was lynched 100 years ago.
The video was filmed in front of a courthouse in TN famous previously as a site of lynchings. One commentator I watched said well, there were thousands of sites where lynchings occurred. You can't just cover all that stuff up with the American flag, BUT I like to think the country is strong and resilient enough to overcome past hatred.
Our mixed small town(340 ppl) built a memorial with the names of all the veterans in our county on marble stands. We also have a Bronze statue in the middle of it with a soldier carrying another soldier out of harms way.
Im a half white half black man who loves rap. Sags his pants. Used to smoek weed all day everyday. Came to christ and learned alot about government corruption and you you know what? You two are dope as hell. I love how educated you both are. You dont mindlessly pander. Well done. Earned a subscription.
There's a reason none of this inner city violence happens in our small towns. Because we protect our own, regardless of their color. I'm not white and have had an AMAZING 33 years in our tiny town.
most big city people will never know that small towns are so beneficial to living a human life. We (me), grow up in cities like Seattle that tend to look at small towns around us as 'below' us. That is the tragedy of Seattle and our ilk. We think we are above all the smaller towns around us, but really, we are enriched by the diversity. funny how many die-hard progressive Seattleites all claim to be accepting of diversity, but really, they do not walk the walk.
Tennessee welcomes you! Warning tho... Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville & Chattanooga are liberal holes. Knoxville breaks my heart. As a proud Tennessean and Volunteers fan... I'm crushed by Knoxville becoming more liberal...
Yea Knox voted in a liberal woman as Mayor and crime shot up like overnight. Sad that it’s mostly East Knox and Lonsdale area, both black areas, where you have most of the crime. But you’re not supposed to say that.
As a Georgia man that came from a small town. Hazelhurst, Georgia in Lumber City, Georgia. I can only say I have to support. Jason aldean and this may be my new favorite channel.
Small town girl here and I had to laugh when they started making noise about this song. Heck just this past week some outta town guys were just chased outta here for doing doughnuts in a parking lot. Just how it is. Don’t mess up our town or it’s people. Cedric, your dad was so right, if I do something my family knows about it before I even get home, good or bad. 🤣
Hey Cedric and Brian, great reaction thank you. I love this song. I'm a new sub. I remember a childhood story "The little boy who cried, "Wolf". For anyone to "Cry Wolf" or in this case "racism" when it's not even there, is dangerous. We need to be able to recognize the real thing should it ever occur. Lately I'm amazed at this: America is a melting pot of nationalities, it's designed that way which I respect. The last thing the citizens living here needs is to be is easily offended. For any leadership or movement to purposely make this melting pot of Nationalities easily offended in the U.S.A. by sowing division is insane. This country should be a strong people who are hard to offend. With such a great diversity of people we need tolerance, love and understanding.
I grew up in your area, and remember the dairy farms. I’ve lived here in DC for 36 years. I’ve watched them both change drastically through the years. Thank you for sharing this great song your commentary was spot on!
Well we are glad to have you ce to Tennessee. Smithville is a small town. I live in Mount Juliet, TN. Tennessee, for the most part, is full of good people. We take care of each other and don't put up with the bullshit. Let me be the first to welcome you to the Volunteer State!
First time hearing this song. Been holding out and figured I'd take a listen since it popped up on your channel. I completely understand the message in the song although I don't care for the song itself. Not really a country fan. I too live in a small town now, after moving from Chicago. I wish my neighbor thought as most of us do and look after each other. He's more out for himself and spreading hatred. Anyway, thanks for the reaction guys, love ya both ❤❤❤
Ya there’s always that neighbor. Ours lives down the corner. Signs everywhere about keeping off the grass. He even gets mad if ya walk on it the winter time. Most of the time we respected that but every winter one of us was always dared to run across it. When it was my turn of course my parents found out before I even walked in the door. Had to shovel MrGrumps sidewalk for a month! Even the grumpy old man is respected in a small town. 🙄🤣
@@misstlc3Yeah, sounds like our neighbor. Called the cops on us twice for mowing our own lawn. Kept saying the property line was 4ft the other direction. He had two surveys done to be proven wrong. Also had felony trespassing thrown at us and cost me over 2grand only to also be dropped. I'll never forgive the man and won't accept an apology.
Absolutely ❤ ur reaction to this amazing video and song.. the lynching things came in because the video was shot in front of a court house where there was one back in the 1920s.
One thing many will not add about the lynching is the young man was accused of violating a young girl, although it was false. Was it racially motivated, maybe I was not there but back in those days and well before people faced mob rule before trials, no matter the race.
I live in a small town outside Nashville and the sentiment expressed in this song is 100% how myself and people around me feel. I’ve lived in big cities (Seattle, PHX, Denver, etc) and it’s just different here in a small town. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you Chuck. I copied the following statement from a link I found, and it seems the courthouse was used in several shows/movies. …the location was featured in a Runaway June music video for their 2019 song "We Were Rich," the 2022 Paramount holiday film "A Nashville Country Christmas" with Tanya Tucker, and Miley Cyrus' 2009 film "Hannah Montana: The Movie." Thank you for watching our channel, my friend, and make it a great day. - C -
The building he did at back in 1927 a black man was lynched, but truh he did it there because its right down from his house, so wouldnt have to travel for it. Also you can go to any location of any videos and search back 100 years to find something bad happened there.
Apparently the whole lynching thing has something to do with the fact that a courthouse in Tennessee featured in the video was the location of a lynching over 100 years ago or something, so somehow that makes it racist. So you can’t film outside a courthouse that had a public lynching over 100 years ago now, it makes absolutely no sense at all, talk about grasping at straws, if that’s the best they could come up with, it kind of says everything you need to know about the stupidity of these people, constantly living in the past and trying to connect things that happened before 99.9% of current humanity was even born with things going on today, it’s desperate and illogical, they can’t find anything to actually criticise it for so they have to engineer fake outrage to feel better about themselves and to justify their hate
I was born and raised in SW Minnesota in a town less than 3500 people, I am a Gen Xer, we were taught right from wrong, and many times the lesson from doing wrong was not able to sit for a week. We were taught to respect our neighbors, the elderly in the community, and everyone knew everyone else for the most part. Heck the two towns closest were population under 100 people in each of them. Our town had/has a high population of Native Americans due to the national monument and only place they can quarry for the rock to make pipes and such. They are still part of the community, one of my best friends in my high school years was a man who worked for the park service and gave me a hand with my horses when I needed it. I know exactly what Jason is talking about in that song, I still live that mantra today even though I live in a small city of 280,000 people and crime is getting worse and worse (can not wait to move out of here into the country and have a small acreage). We as a community take care of each other when needed. Back in the early 1990's they had massive flooding in my hometown, I drove home over 6 hours the next morning to help those that needed help at that time. The younger generations sadly were never taught that small town mentality and that is why you see what we have today with riots, crime, etc. The big uproar about lynching is the fact the courthouse in the background was known for a black man dragged through town then lynched back in 1927. I had no clue what courthouse that was or its history, I am sure very few did know that info. This song came out back in May and no big uproar till the actual video was released earlier this month when the Karen's went after CMT to pull it cause it was racist, pro-lynching, pro-violence etc. according to them. Why CMT even caved I have no clue, but will not be watching their channel anymore (didn't really watch it in the first place).
I started watching a reactor yesterday who, as soon as he saw the American flag, said something to the effect of that being racist in itself and to not even try to convince him otherwise in the comments. I immediately stopped watching and was saddened. Thank you for your reaction.
People have a predisposed opinion before going into their reactions. Whether it's they've already watched the video and it's a fake reaction or they did research (the research is totally fine) they have an opinion before going into the video. So as soon as they see something that even remotely fits their narrative they're going to jump on it.
Mavericks Approves this video ~~ Taking pictures all my life of photos' of my interest.. Color is great but when you get that shot of a print that should be printed as a B&W just makes it better.. Just like you guys sharing heart & minds together making true feelings sharing with us.. Thx Guys keep it real..
I am from THE BRONX (a beautiful quiet and diverse neighborhood) "a small town" I once dated a Canadian diplomat and he wanted to re-locate here because we do NOT have skyscrapers where I live. Everyone thinks NYC is a 12X2 mile island called Manhattan, nope. We are 5 boroughs (counties). In my 'hood, during the summer of 2020 people patrolled the streets day and night!!! The U.S.A. consists of millions and millions of "small towns." I think before we go to "war" abroad, I think we are going to be in a civil war instead. Too much truth for liberals.
Thanks for getting the truth out something that are media is not doing. This song speaks truth on many levels. Truth is the truest form of freedom in all things. Peace to all. God Bless America 🇺🇸 it takes Courage and integrity to speak the Truth.
Love your reaction! The song is about small towns not putting up with this type of criminality. No racism. The “controversy” is a way to divert attention from the fact that cocaine (could have been anthrax) made its way into the White House. And nobody was called on the carpet for letting a substance into the most secure govt building. I’m not going into the case being closed… I really enjoy you two! Thank you.
From a small town in WV & luv this song!& its true...... people ur just saying that because he used news footage so they r trying to turn it into something its not! not everyone understands or can comprehend how us Smalltown folks are! Much luv to yall from wv & to Jason Aldean! yall rock
a great reaction, the agenda promoting media and government is whats causing this division, ive watched 40+ reaction videos to this song tonight and none have seen any racism in this song, well done to the whole youtube reaction community as each one of you has a voice and i think together you are managing to push back against the agenda thats trying to be pushed here when there are other things that need fixed in USA and YOU THE PEOPLE.. TOGETHER are the only ones who can make it happen!!!
I feel that one so hard you talkin about the woman being offended because I was told I wasn't allowed to use the term indian when talking about native Americans because I look white and it was a white guy telling me this I was like dude the car to my pocket for my tribe says cdib and I stands for Indian I was also born in an Indian Hospital and I eat Indian tacos that's what they're sold as by a full-blooded native Americans
Born and raised i NYC. my neighborhood was known as the melting pot. Look it up in the 70’s. I was raised with friends from all over the world. I’m 53 now and love how I grew up and the cultures.
I keep seeing stuff about this guy crop up, despite not having a clue who he is, so I looked up the controversy. For the song itself, and much of the video, it's easy to give him the benefit of the doubt. One point that's not obvious was that the courthouse shown in the video was apparently the scene of an infamous lynching, where a black man was dragged behind a car before being strung up in the courthouse. The question then becomes why he chose that particular courthouse, given that the song was basically about vigilantism. Was is a simple mistake, or was it a subtle but more disturbing message?
In central California, there are a lot of small towns that are predominately hispanic. It's the same in every small town no matter who lives there. We are just more protective. That is why they don't mess with small towns!
Thanks guys for your candid comments...no racism here, just caring for the country and a warning to stop the chaos, looting, and destructive behavior that we have all observed going on in the big cities in the past several years.
Dayum, you guys seem to have the exact same stand on this as I do - stone solid Conservative Republican. Who cares about color - if you'll walk up and shake my hand then go with me and put in a full days work, you'll be My Brother . Full Small Town ideals.

Thank you for pointing that out my friend. Yes, that’s terrible about the lynching in 1926. I would have to do more research, but I’m sure a lot of positive things, and possibly negative things, have happened there in the 96 years since that terrible ordeal. The following is just something I’m choosing to copy and paste on several comments, but it seems like a lot of events/shows/movies should have a black eye now, since the courthouse was featured in them: the location was featured in a Runaway June music video for their 2019 song "We Were Rich," the 2022 Paramount holiday film "A Nashville Country Christmas" with Tanya Tucker, and Miley Cyrus' 2009 film "Hannah Montana: The Movie." Thank you for watching our channel, my friend, and for your continued support. We appreciate it. - C -
Genuinely want to ask, if the video have Capitol Riot on January 6th video clip in it, would you said people on the "right" side would support it? would the "left" side support it? 2nd: would it be different if he put like video of river and mountain and local small town video, would people who offended feel different? Nothing against the lyrics as it not racist, but I would think Jason know what he doing with the video he upload?
I don't think whether you are, small town or city, want riot and looting. Let says 1 out of 1,000 people are bad person in small town vs 1,000 out of 1,000,000 bad people in city, the percent is still 0.1% on both side. While the 1,000 obviously would do more damage than the 1 person.
While there is no racist stuff, one could it more hate and political if you have to break it down. Small town tend to vote more red and city tend to vote more blue. It always us vs them but never about the bad people (of both side). People in every video comment F democrats/liberal, so seem very motivate certain group of people.
The ones trying to make this a racial issue has had this back fire on them I think. Instead of dividing the country even further it has brought some people together. People are tired of this wokeness.
It speaks volumes when the left makes it a “stand“ by vandalizing, looting, and setting things on fire, while the right makes their stand with their consumer dollars either in support; or non-support. Thank you for watching our channel. - C -
Blake Shelton back out of a 30 million project with CMT after this, he said Jason is my friend. Sunny Hostin on the view said he was from the most racist town in the US. Macon, Ga is where he is from and the black population is the majority at 54%

Correct! Man every town needs a sheriff like Grady, he’s always up front and honest about protecting his county… I love when he makes a speech live and peoples mouths just drop 😂 he can put the fear of god in many as he should! ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Guys, I am latino and this song Rocks! Kudos to Jason, listening to this makes me feel so American .
Amen!
Love this song! Absolutely nothing wrong with this song grew up in a small town it was great!
I grew up in a small town and whenever we were up to mischief as kids you could bet someone would tell your folks. As for this song, city people just don't get it, they apply their own issues to things like this rather than understanding the small town sense of community.
Yep your parents knew what you did before you got home that happened to me as a kid 😮
Yeah and those neighbors had permission to whip my butt if I was misbehaving, and then I would get another whipping when I got home😂😂😂
@@LisafromFl Same here. It was even worse when you got home because you brought shame on the family.
I lived in a small town of 5,000 in Minnesota. When I was 16 I got pulled over by a town officer. Since he knew who I was, he radioed the SGT on duty, on what to do. The SGT’s response was to let me go, that my Mom would do more than what a ticket would. He was correct. Didn’t get another speeding ticket for another 20 years. That is what a small town is all about.
Great to have you two back doing reactions! This song does not once allude to race in any way, those people who are making it about race are the real issue here.
Cedric, you just reminded me of when I was a kid raised in a small WV town. Doing stuff that young kids do. We broke out some windows of a old abandoned house. Nothing gets by in a small town. By the time I got home I had already gotten 3 whipins from various adults and the phone calls to my mom were flying. Needless to say but it was a terrible night for a dumb ass kid. Great reaction to the vid.
Great commentary. I’m sure this song has helped to build a lot of channels as I have subscribed to many based on your excellent views on these issues. I’m now subscribed to yours. I moved from many cities to get into the mountains in a small town of 2500. My neighbors have a fit if I don’t ask for help around the house. My husband died 8 years ago at 50 years old from PTSD. He witnessed the worst of humanity for 50 years in our community as a police sergeant in the city he grew up in. He loved our community so much he gave his sanity and then his life to protect it from these psycho villains you can see in these clips. We do things different in small towns. I try and grow more food than I need to share it. I put things on the curb I can’t use anymore to help people with less. The majority of my friends are black and Hispanic. They all have one major thing in common and that’s they love our country and are sick of the BS the left is doing to destroy our country.
Obviously this is racist. How dare he promote patriotic ideals, community support, and doing what's right. Bwaahahahaaaa.
Absolutely! Small town of 311 people...all different colors, but we bleed red, white, and blue. We are there for each other, working together.
Thank You for pointing that out
Sure is a refreshing to see common sense somewhere thank you loved everything you said I always help and step in and do what’s right God bless
Great reaction! Didn't know you guys were in Norco. I'm in the city of Orange, CA. We got together when BLM came through our Old Towne circle ,protecting the small businesses. And apparently that court house was the site of a 17 yr old black guy that was lynched 100 years ago.
The lynching was committed by the Democrat Party. Jason is a Republican. ❤
The video was filmed in front of a courthouse in TN famous previously as a site of lynchings. One commentator I watched said well, there were thousands of sites where lynchings occurred. You can't just cover all that stuff up with the American flag, BUT I like to think the country is strong and resilient enough to overcome past hatred.
Our mixed small town(340 ppl) built a memorial with the names of all the veterans in our county on marble stands. We also have a Bronze statue in the middle of it with a soldier carrying another soldier out of harms way.
Im a half white half black man who loves rap. Sags his pants. Used to smoek weed all day everyday. Came to christ and learned alot about government corruption and you you know what? You two are dope as hell. I love how educated you both are. You dont mindlessly pander. Well done. Earned a subscription.
The site where David Dorn was murdered was in the video. 😭
So were clips from J6.
Love this song!
There's a reason none of this inner city violence happens in our small towns. Because we protect our own, regardless of their color. I'm not white and have had an AMAZING 33 years in our tiny town.
most big city people will never know that small towns are so beneficial to living a human life. We (me), grow up in cities like Seattle that tend to look at small towns around us as 'below' us. That is the tragedy of Seattle and our ilk. We think we are above all the smaller towns around us, but really, we are enriched by the diversity. funny how many die-hard progressive Seattleites all claim to be accepting of diversity, but really, they do not walk the walk.
Small towns are being abandoned
@@juniusmarkey8282not mine... it's flourishing. Just built three new schools.
Tennessee welcomes you!
Warning tho... Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville & Chattanooga are liberal holes. Knoxville breaks my heart. As a proud Tennessean and Volunteers fan... I'm crushed by Knoxville becoming more liberal...
Yea Knox voted in a liberal woman as Mayor and crime shot up like overnight. Sad that it’s mostly East Knox and Lonsdale area, both black areas, where you have most of the crime. But you’re not supposed to say that.
Thank You. I came from a small town. I will say, that people in the town stick together (regardless of race) against senseless violence.
Welcome to Tennessee, Brian. I also live in small town in Tennessee, NE of Smithville, but we are a community. We welcome you ❤️
Look at the condition of EVERY big city in America
As a Georgia man that came from a small town. Hazelhurst, Georgia in Lumber City, Georgia. I can only say I have to support. Jason aldean and this may be my new favorite channel.
Small town girl here and I had to laugh when they started making noise about this song. Heck just this past week some outta town guys were just chased outta here for doing doughnuts in a parking lot. Just how it is. Don’t mess up our town or it’s people.
Cedric, your dad was so right, if I do something my family knows about it before I even get home, good or bad. 🤣
Great to have you back! I love this song so much.
UNITED WE STAND.... DEVIDED WE FALL...
❤❤
Hey Cedric and Brian, great reaction thank you. I love this song. I'm a new sub. I remember a childhood story "The little boy who cried, "Wolf". For anyone to "Cry Wolf" or in this case "racism" when it's not even there, is dangerous. We need to be able to recognize the real thing should it ever occur.
Lately I'm amazed at this: America is a melting pot of nationalities, it's designed that way which I respect. The last thing the citizens living here needs is to be is easily offended. For any leadership or movement to purposely make this melting pot of Nationalities easily offended in the U.S.A. by sowing division is insane. This country should be a strong people who are hard to offend. With such a great diversity of people we need tolerance, love and understanding.
I'm just .12 seconds into this video. I have to repeat it. You two are AWESOME!
LOL! Thank you my friend. Ironically, it takes a lot of people that much time to determine they can’t stand us, so we appreciate it 👍🏾. - C -
You guys are so right. I love the song & it gets me fired up to serve & help others.
I grew up in your area, and remember the dairy farms. I’ve lived here in DC for 36 years. I’ve watched them both change drastically through the years.
Thank you for sharing this great song your commentary was spot on!
Well we are glad to have you ce to Tennessee. Smithville is a small town. I live in Mount Juliet, TN. Tennessee, for the most part, is full of good people. We take care of each other and don't put up with the bullshit. Let me be the first to welcome you to the Volunteer State!
7/28 is Tom’s day,his new song is featuring ACAL it is called “American Flags”.
Awesome! We both had a busy work week, but I’m sure we will be reacting to it this weekend in order to upload it on Tuesday 👍🏾. - C -
First time hearing this song. Been holding out and figured I'd take a listen since it popped up on your channel. I completely understand the message in the song although I don't care for the song itself. Not really a country fan. I too live in a small town now, after moving from Chicago. I wish my neighbor thought as most of us do and look after each other. He's more out for himself and spreading hatred. Anyway, thanks for the reaction guys, love ya both ❤❤❤
Ya there’s always that neighbor. Ours lives down the corner. Signs everywhere about keeping off the grass. He even gets mad if ya walk on it the winter time. Most of the time we respected that but every winter one of us was always dared to run across it. When it was my turn of course my parents found out before I even walked in the door. Had to shovel MrGrumps sidewalk for a month! Even the grumpy old man is respected in a small town. 🙄🤣
@@misstlc3Yeah, sounds like our neighbor. Called the cops on us twice for mowing our own lawn. Kept saying the property line was 4ft the other direction. He had two surveys done to be proven wrong. Also had felony trespassing thrown at us and cost me over 2grand only to also be dropped. I'll never forgive the man and won't accept an apology.
Absolutely ❤ ur reaction to this amazing video and song.. the lynching things came in because the video was shot in front of a court house where there was one back in the 1920s.
The same exact courthouse used by Disney in a Hannah Montana movie.
One thing many will not add about the lynching is the young man was accused of violating a young girl, although it was false. Was it racially motivated, maybe I was not there but back in those days and well before people faced mob rule before trials, no matter the race.
I live in a small town outside Nashville and the sentiment expressed in this song is 100% how myself and people around me feel. I’ve lived in big cities (Seattle, PHX, Denver, etc) and it’s just different here in a small town. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Guys... there was a lynching there 100 yrs ago... but "Back to the Future" was filmed there, plus hundreds of other movies!
Thank you Chuck. I copied the following statement from a link I found, and it seems the courthouse was used in several shows/movies.
…the location was featured in a Runaway June music video for their 2019 song "We Were Rich," the 2022 Paramount holiday film "A Nashville Country Christmas" with Tanya Tucker, and Miley Cyrus' 2009 film "Hannah Montana: The Movie."
Thank you for watching our channel, my friend, and make it a great day. - C -
Thank you for showing this and bringing to light that the problem with our country right now is the wanting to separate us instead of coming together.
The white building is The Maury County Courthouse in Columbia TN. It is a beautiful building and famous for it is in Hallmark type movies.
yes, I heard that the lynching happened at that courthouse featured in the video- keep em coming!!
The building he did at back in 1927 a black man was lynched, but truh he did it there because its right down from his house, so wouldnt have to travel for it. Also you can go to any location of any videos and search back 100 years to find something bad happened there.
From Toledo Ohio .. 2 words.,,. Damn right 💯
Apparently the whole lynching thing has something to do with the fact that a courthouse in Tennessee featured in the video was the location of a lynching over 100 years ago or something, so somehow that makes it racist.
So you can’t film outside a courthouse that had a public lynching over 100 years ago now, it makes absolutely no sense at all, talk about grasping at straws, if that’s the best they could come up with, it kind of says everything you need to know about the stupidity of these people, constantly living in the past and trying to connect things that happened before 99.9% of current humanity was even born with things going on today, it’s desperate and illogical, they can’t find anything to actually criticise it for so they have to engineer fake outrage to feel better about themselves and to justify their hate
I was born and raised in SW Minnesota in a town less than 3500 people, I am a Gen Xer, we were taught right from wrong, and many times the lesson from doing wrong was not able to sit for a week. We were taught to respect our neighbors, the elderly in the community, and everyone knew everyone else for the most part. Heck the two towns closest were population under 100 people in each of them. Our town had/has a high population of Native Americans due to the national monument and only place they can quarry for the rock to make pipes and such. They are still part of the community, one of my best friends in my high school years was a man who worked for the park service and gave me a hand with my horses when I needed it. I know exactly what Jason is talking about in that song, I still live that mantra today even though I live in a small city of 280,000 people and crime is getting worse and worse (can not wait to move out of here into the country and have a small acreage). We as a community take care of each other when needed. Back in the early 1990's they had massive flooding in my hometown, I drove home over 6 hours the next morning to help those that needed help at that time. The younger generations sadly were never taught that small town mentality and that is why you see what we have today with riots, crime, etc. The big uproar about lynching is the fact the courthouse in the background was known for a black man dragged through town then lynched back in 1927. I had no clue what courthouse that was or its history, I am sure very few did know that info. This song came out back in May and no big uproar till the actual video was released earlier this month when the Karen's went after CMT to pull it cause it was racist, pro-lynching, pro-violence etc. according to them. Why CMT even caved I have no clue, but will not be watching their channel anymore (didn't really watch it in the first place).
I started watching a reactor yesterday who, as soon as he saw the American flag, said something to the effect of that being racist in itself and to not even try to convince him otherwise in the comments. I immediately stopped watching and was saddened. Thank you for your reaction.
Put that reactors name out there so we know if we are following them.
People have a predisposed opinion before going into their reactions.
Whether it's they've already watched the video and it's a fake reaction or they did research (the research is totally fine) they have an opinion before going into the video. So as soon as they see something that even remotely fits their narrative they're going to jump on it.
He included three clips from Jan 6
Mavericks Approves this video ~~ Taking pictures all my life of photos' of my interest.. Color is great but when you get that shot of a print that should be printed as a B&W just makes it better.. Just like you guys sharing heart & minds together making true feelings sharing with us.. Thx Guys keep it real..
I am from THE BRONX (a beautiful quiet and diverse neighborhood) "a small town" I once dated a Canadian diplomat and he wanted to re-locate here because we do NOT have skyscrapers where I live. Everyone thinks NYC is a 12X2 mile island called Manhattan, nope. We are 5 boroughs (counties). In my 'hood, during the summer of 2020 people patrolled the streets day and night!!! The U.S.A. consists of millions and millions of "small towns." I think before we go to "war" abroad, I think we are going to be in a civil war instead. Too much truth for liberals.
Thanks for getting the truth out something that are media is not doing. This song speaks truth on many levels. Truth is the truest form of freedom in all things. Peace to all.
God Bless America 🇺🇸 it takes Courage and
integrity to speak the Truth.
Love to ya both .. h.O.G family love. Come together and take back OUR Country 💯❤️🇺🇸
Love your reaction! The song is about small towns not putting up with this type of criminality. No racism. The “controversy” is a way to divert attention from the fact that cocaine (could have been anthrax) made its way into the White House. And nobody was called on the carpet for letting a substance into the most secure govt building. I’m not going into the case being closed…
I really enjoy you two! Thank you.
There’s absolutely no different between him saying this to Rapper saying “don’t try that in in my hood”
It goes back to the saying, “rules for thee, but not for me.“ Thank you for watching our channel. - C -
From a small town in WV & luv this song!& its true...... people ur just saying that because he used news footage so they r trying to turn it into something its not! not everyone understands or can comprehend how us Smalltown folks are! Much luv to yall from wv & to Jason Aldean! yall rock
Smithville’ I’m in springhill!! This is how we are in my town!!
a great reaction, the agenda promoting media and government is whats causing this division, ive watched 40+ reaction videos to this song tonight and none have seen any racism in this song, well done to the whole youtube reaction community as each one of you has a voice and i think together you are managing to push back against the agenda thats trying to be pushed here when there are other things that need fixed in USA and YOU THE PEOPLE.. TOGETHER are the only ones who can make it happen!!!
I feel that one so hard you talkin about the woman being offended because I was told I wasn't allowed to use the term indian when talking about native Americans because I look white and it was a white guy telling me this I was like dude the car to my pocket for my tribe says cdib and I stands for Indian I was also born in an Indian Hospital and I eat Indian tacos that's what they're sold as by a full-blooded native Americans
That's not the Whitehouse! It's the courthouse in Columbia TN
2 words...... Thank u. Thank you for seeing things for what they are.
Born and raised i NYC. my neighborhood was known as the melting pot. Look it up in the 70’s. I was raised with friends from all over the world. I’m 53 now and love how I grew up and the cultures.
Thank you for what you do
I keep seeing stuff about this guy crop up, despite not having a clue who he is, so I looked up the controversy. For the song itself, and much of the video, it's easy to give him the benefit of the doubt. One point that's not obvious was that the courthouse shown in the video was apparently the scene of an infamous lynching, where a black man was dragged behind a car before being strung up in the courthouse. The question then becomes why he chose that particular courthouse, given that the song was basically about vigilantism. Was is a simple mistake, or was it a subtle but more disturbing message?
In central California, there are a lot of small towns that are predominately hispanic. It's the same in every small town no matter who lives there. We are just more protective. That is why they don't mess with small towns!
Simple message in this song easy to interpret.great song good discussion guys
It's promoting ANTI violence. He is saying DON'T come to a small town and be violent.
Great reaction!! Thanks! 👍
People pick every thing apart and then it starts
Your gonna love it. I live in a small town myself
Thanks guys for your candid comments...no racism here, just caring for the country and a warning to stop the chaos, looting, and destructive behavior that we have all observed going on in the big cities in the past several years.
My small town
Guntersville Alabama
Dayum, you guys seem to have the exact same stand on this as I do - stone solid Conservative Republican. Who cares about color - if you'll walk up and shake my hand then go with me and put in a full days work, you'll be My Brother . Full Small Town ideals.
Awesome! We completely agree. Thank you for watching our channel my friend, and hope you get the time to check out some other videos. - C -
Yep I’m in Tennessee not far from where you are moving. You’re right. It’s like a FAFO situation
46 years here in my East TX town
#istandwithJASONALDEAN 🇺🇸❤️
Not taking it personally taking it easy Freedom of Speech 💬😀 Rock It Be fair to All people Always It's a big wonderful world Enjoy it Freedom of Speech
Well welcome to TN! You will be about a 100 miles south west of me. Lol you almost went to far west. Us HillBillies don't claim the flat land as TN. Good luck Brother, wish you the best.
I know Brian, and his family, are looking forward to the move. I may not be far behind. Thank you for watching our channel and supporting us. - C -
The lynching thing was the couet house he was standing in front of a black guy was lynched there in 1926 and hung from that court house
Thank you for pointing that out my friend. Yes, that’s terrible about the lynching in 1926. I would have to do more research, but I’m sure a lot of positive things, and possibly negative things, have happened there in the 96 years since that terrible ordeal.
The following is just something I’m choosing to copy and paste on several comments, but it seems like a lot of events/shows/movies should have a black eye now, since the courthouse was featured in them:
the location was featured in a Runaway June music video for their 2019 song "We Were Rich," the 2022 Paramount holiday film "A Nashville Country Christmas" with Tanya Tucker, and Miley Cyrus' 2009 film "Hannah Montana: The Movie."
Thank you for watching our channel, my friend, and for your continued support. We appreciate it. - C -
The man who snatched the firearms out of those criminals hands is a marine once a marine always a marine
Black people also live in small towns. Who knew?😳😳
Genuinely want to ask, if the video have Capitol Riot on January 6th video clip in it, would you said people on the "right" side would support it? would the "left" side support it?
2nd: would it be different if he put like video of river and mountain and local small town video, would people who offended feel different?
Nothing against the lyrics as it not racist, but I would think Jason know what he doing with the video he upload?
I don't think whether you are, small town or city, want riot and looting. Let says 1 out of 1,000 people are bad person in small town vs 1,000 out of 1,000,000 bad people in city, the percent is still 0.1% on both side. While the 1,000 obviously would do more damage than the 1 person.
While there is no racist stuff, one could it more hate and political if you have to break it down. Small town tend to vote more red and city tend to vote more blue. It always us vs them but never about the bad people (of both side). People in every video comment F democrats/liberal, so seem very motivate certain group of people.
The ones trying to make this a racial issue has had this back fire on them I think. Instead of dividing the country even further it has brought some people together. People are tired of this wokeness.
It speaks volumes when the left makes it a “stand“ by vandalizing, looting, and setting things on fire, while the right makes their stand with their consumer dollars either in support; or non-support.
Thank you for watching our channel.

Blake Shelton back out of a 30 million project with CMT after this, he said Jason is my friend. Sunny Hostin on the view said he was from the most racist town in the US. Macon, Ga is where he is from and the black population is the majority at 54%
Smithville, Tn is a huge city compared to the town I’m from in Tennessee.
Sunbright, Tn. Population 524……SALUTE!! LOL Smithville is a nice area. Center Hill Lake is beautiful!
I LIVED IN A SMALL TOWN.. IT'S LIKE MAYBERRY. EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR NAME. YOU WOULD BE IN TROUBLE. NO MATTER WHAT!! LOVE THIS SONG
It's not about race.
It's about right & wrong.
They know it wouldn't fly thats why they haven't tried to go into small towns .
My Small Town has 3 Cops and 2700 Registered Gun Owners that will back them Up. We dont like Stupidity from Anyone. I am a Female Vet with A CC permit and and 45mm in my Purse. 😊😅
They tried that to do in a small town in and the day the March was planned the citizens of the Town showed up and sit in front of every business with a lawn chair and most of them were armed with shotguns and rifles nothing happened
I remember that! The "protesters" walked down the main street of the town and just kept going! All these people standing out there with their guns!
The lynching was what had happened years back, mind you alot has been filmed there (hannah Montana) filmed.. the song is about respect of others property and life.. the guy who took down the two walking in the store brandishing a gun was a Marine. Anythijg to kake it fit their agenda not fix the problem....
Wait... So if Brian is moving what is gonna happen to the channel???
