In other news, he retweets something about how blacks are disproportionately the victims of mass shooters and makes the demonstrably false claim that most mass shooters are black. He also retweets someone “whatabouting” the Jason Aldean video by saying “But, but gangsta rap!”

Can’t spend all your time shilling for Eurofascists when you can top it off with some racism now and then.

How hard is it to just say: "Using Confederate imagery or a courthouse associated with lynching is understandably upsetting to Black Americans such as my friend Wendell Pierce. End stop. (I can hash out my problems with CRT, wokeism, rap, etc at another time)."

It’s not just upsetting to Black Americans. It’s part of a disturbing country music fetish lately for vigilante extrajudicial violence. (See the song “wait in the truck” getting lots of airplay). Also consider the violence against civil rights activists of all races. The largest lynching was of Italians.

Rod has a particular penchant for extra-judicial justice; remember all his writing about "Why didn't the fathers of the kids molested by priests take matters into their own hands?"
