    It has everything to do with "The racism doesn't exist in the real world" and THAT post of yours has nothing to do with the song, but I proved you wrong anyways out of curtesy.

    I'm sorry I thought it was pretty evident that I was referring to this song in this context

    You were referring to that there that many people around and made it a nr 1 song, and such racism isn't around to make that song a nr 1 song.
    I proved it that such racism is around.

    There is nothing "racist" about the song.

    You say this, while everybody interprets the text as pro vigilante justice while the vid displays predominantly black criminals and the backdrop where they hung the remains of a lynched black man.

    No "everyone" does not interpret it that way. Lol

    Who died and made you the spokesperson for everyone?

    I'll be pointing you back to post 473, where you previously were not able to dispute this.

    It currently leads to that you're not disputing my previous post.
    And I wouldn't call it hate.

    On the contrary, your previous post was mere hate-based fiction.

    Your posts are not disputing that post with some kind of argument.
    That you call it "hate" that you can not dispute with an argument says a lot about you though.

    Yes, I am. Your entire frame of reference for your post comes from ideas you alone brought to the discussion. There is nothing in either the lyrics or the video that relates to your claims.

    My idea? It's CMT's idea! lol
    Do keep up.
    I argued how it is according in post 473, and you are not responding to this.
    So you're just dancing around the bush.

    That study may also suggest that employers were trying to minimize lawsuits. If the applicant had their race as clear as they claim they may have feared the type that always scream racism for lawsuits. This does happen and I have personally witnessed it. This isn’t proof of racism at all.

    Post #473 is the product of your own hate.
    The backdrop is irrelevant; it has been used many times by many productions, and has no special significance.
    Scenes of urban violence will include Black people, as a simple statistical matter.

    They don't actually read what you write, they get something stuck in their head and run with it... the signs of a one track mind.

    You do realize that 'try that in a small town' is quite literally a shot at big cities that allow criminals to do what they want without repercussions, yes?

    Defending is not vigilantism. As others have said, when trouble COMES TO YOU, it's defense. When YOU go seeking trouble, that is vigilantism.

    Some may believe that they should bow down to criminals and people who burn buildings and harass the citizens, others understand that when seconds count, law enforcement is minutes away....

    It is.
    You just think you have a valid excuse for employers to go racist on people seeking jobs.

    Uh no. I'm not running CMT

    Not relevant what other productions did / whataboutism. Odds are sky high that they have absolutely nothing to do with vigilante justice, so it doesn't matter at all one bit.

    Not sung with the backdrop where white extremists hung the remains of a black man they lynched.

    I already sourced what vigilantism. It fits like a glove.

    sure sure. Out of nowhere a riot will start with no cop in sight.
    That happened a lot in the past. har har.

    And again, you're the one bringing the thoughts of hate to the images.
