"I was shocked and saddened by the blatant racism in Aldean's song that condemned violent crime," said CMT President Brian Philips. "Crime is a beloved and noble tradition of BIPOC communities, and to condemn it is to condemn our own black brothers and sisters. I am sorry we ever allowed it to be aired."
Aldean defended himself from the criticism on his Instagram page, saying "What on earth does this have to do with race? I never mentioned race, you guys did! You guys are racist! What's wrong with you people?" Unfortunately, no one read his statement as Instagram soon removed the post.
Industry experts joined in denouncing Aldean. "Most of us secretly agree with him, but it's not cool to say that," said Universal Music Group CEO Cindy Mabe. "So, please don't tell anyone I said that. Hey! Stop writing that down!"
At publishing time, a group of heavily armed Antifa troops was seen outside Aldean's home to teach him a valuable lesson about being against crime.

He doesn't understand the difference between crime & racism on one side, and BLM & "mostly peaceful" on the other ...
a racist dog whistle.a crime".Maybe add, a later report from NYT states that Aldean's song is a hate crime to promote selling his song.
This way „the industry” admits that most of the crime is done by non-whites.

One kind of music that has never attracted me is RAP. Years ago I came across an anonymous whistleblower who has probably been eliminated by now. He wrote in an email that the RAP direction was decided in a meeting of music executives or representatives that required an NDA to participate. The promoters wanted RAP to focus on drugs, sex and crime. It was funded by the financial owners of privatized prisons to insure that they would always be full, because part of privatization was receiving funding from the government based on occupancy.
