  1. That doesn’t have anything to do with any other genre. It is a comparison of lyrics. It’s also called an analogy. For example… A guy sings a country song and at some point the lyrics say, “don’t mess with me or I’ll hurt you”. Someone who listens to rap is outraged at such violent lyrics. At the same time we find out that his favorite rap song has a verse that says, “don’t mess with me or I’ll hurt you”. That is selective outrage. Every person absolutely has the ability and right to be selectively outraged. We are just calling it for what it is.

  4. It’s useless to keep trying to explain something to him! Just like any good Dem/Lib, he doesn’t get it or doesn’t want to.

    If genitals don’t define gender, How does removing them affirm it?

    "Try that in a small town"

    Good thing I never mentioned dictating feelings. All I said was that there is almost no way that someone saw that video and went, OMG! A guy was lyched there 100 years ago. That would mean that someone was actively looking at different aspects of the video and doing a Google searches to try to find a reason to be offended.

    RIP Bob West

    Bob was at the top of his chosen profession. To a lot of extent, he is from a passing era in sports writing. Few sportswriters and editors have had the excellent longevity and following of Bob West. How many people work for a single newspaper for almost 5 decades? He called ‘em like he saw ‘em. A few times I definitely would not agree on his perspective on an issue or player but the proof of his skill was that I always came back to read what he had to say on his next article. He definitely has left a legacy of events that he has been involved with from roasts, to celebrity golf events, to contests and I believe that he was instrumental in creating and bringing the Bum Phillips Trophy to Mid-County Madness which I think was thought up by members of his staff. I had spoken to West on a couple of occasions, mostly from working security at events. I have known his wife Genie for probably about 40 years from her work as a nurse at St. Mary Hospital and me being a police officer. The likes of Bob West don’t come along often in a lifetime. Condolences to his family and friends.

  9. I wanted to give high praise to the Lofton family for this camp. I took my son and his friend today to this camp. The entire camp staff and family worked really hard all day. Great work on the basketball side of things done. The overall camp environment was awesome as well. Our state is blessed to have great role models of a player and his family like this. Beyond remarkable. I don’t know them at all but everything today was amazing for those kids. That community is very lucky to have a family like them.

  11. That again, is reaching for an answer. Who watched that video for the first time and immediately said, oh my gosh, that is a courthouse where a person was lynched 100 years ago. Likely no one Who would recognize it? Probably a better question would be, who did the research to find something in the video to be offended by? Why would anyone try to google something in the background in a song? Was this courthouse some well known symbol of racism? If so, why was Hannah Montana mostly filmed not only in that city, Columbia, TN, but at least one scene shot at the very same courthouse? Maybe Mikey Cyrus was pushing a hidden agenda on racism in front of that apparently well known symbol of hate…. that no one would recognize unless they were told to do so. If a person are looking for that nail, he will find it. Not that I would expect most people to view this 34 minute clip from Candace Owens. If a person is so inclined, scroll to the 8 minute mark and see Hannah Montana coming out of the same courthouse. Then go to around the 15 minute mark and look at some of the lyrics of current top 40 music.

    "Try that in a small town"

    The song doesnt bother me at all. He said it is not about race, so I believe him. If it is about race then it only shows that he is an idiot. I don't like violent rap music, but here is why some people find the country song offensive. [Hidden Content]
