Country music star records a video outside the courthouse where in 1927 a black man was lynched. Lyrics quoted...
"See how far ya make it down the road/Around here, we take care of our own/You cross that line, it won't take long/ For you to find out, I recommend you don't/Try that in a small town."

Some accounts of the lynching
"Henry Choate was just 18. Reports suggest he was beaten horrifically before white supremacists murdered him in an act of terror.

According to reports, Choate was 18 when he was accused of assaulting a 16-year-old white girl in Tennessee. Choate denied the attack but was eventually hanged from the second floor of the courthouse and died.

The John Banks Civil War Blog reported that the Nashville Tennessean published on its front page on November 12, 1927, that a Black man was "lynched" in Columbia, Tennessee for "attack on girl," and that an "unmasked mob estimated at 350 men storms jail with sledge hammer."

According to the blog, the paper reported the "Success of the lynching" after Choate died, adding that "Maury County had been disgraced." Three days later, Editor James Finney wrote: "Executions by mob are murder, nothing more, nothing less."

Those of you who don't know look up the phrase "sundown town". Choate was brutally lynched over an accusation.

He has come out to defend his song and said it should have never been filmed in front of a courthouse, and it will be burned. Maybe they will arrange it in a lower case t shape when they burn it?

Weak troll. Do better my racist pedo fellow poster. You do know those that scream pedo in their signatures are usually repressed pedos right? Every accusation is a confession my bridge column licking buddy. Sad, bigly wiggly, dippity do sad. If you have a mind you could even see how my post is ironic 😝

what a frightened sad little person you must be to troll on a tech board . Weak man

So. Not only the lynching crap in his song. He has pro gun violence in it also.

Which is odd since he was in a mass shooting. You would think that someone who seen gun violence first hand would not promote it.
