let's talk about country music
you like country music lost
it's the only type of music i completley despise
finally continue to keep it
and this is a story not so much about country music per se but about tracy
adkins who is a country music
i guess he's called the country music star
uh... who war
heap that uh... performance on for the n_b_c_ christmas special
and he war a confederate flag
earpiece
that race at this is a guy who is known for being
conservative
he is also uh... part of according to on and dee dee he he's part of the
louisiana
division of the sun's of confederate veterans is a big fan of the confederacy
apparently
and he has also said that out when he joined
ka uh... a movement to help preserve civil war battlefields he said
um... that day
service monuments to what can happen when political wisdom fails and our
differences are allowed to escalate
beyond reason
this is this is a little bit of the clip here now i'm surprised given his
background
that they had 'em sing chestnuts roasting or whatever it is instead of
white christmas eve a white christmas might be a more appropriate song for
trace adkins
needless to say all these also appears to be wearing fur
so he's really trying to cover the entire gamut of who he can defend
by uh... with this performance take a listen
reminding
i actually have been to a concert where trace adkins performed once i was
dragged to a concert near sugar companies a concert in chicago and trace
adkins performed and they brought out like during his performance they brought
out and i can say he did it
but right before he went on stage they brought out cannons like old cannons
don't matter
but it was the day goes from outer know what war
and they had on their i think that one point it may have been fired
and then tons of people wearing basically like if you imagine taking a
confederate flag in turning it into a uh... a costume
that the people were wearing they were really cheering for this guy and they
just loved it
and it was the company's without hell david
himself
so you know if i was making a point beforehand which is the time you don't
necessarily think that all of these confederate flag fans are racist
no uh... under ido i can speak the truth and conspiracy will believes and whether
he's a racist or not worth
but i do think that all lot of people in the south that where
the confederate imagery and things like this
are not necessarily racist at all they just really don't understand what the
civil war was really about right was about slavery and they think that uh...
it somehow anon racist non slavery related symbol of southern pride
um... and i really think a lot of them actually believe that now that doesn't
mean that i could down uh... ignorance on that front but i don't think that
necessarily all these guys are are racists or think that the confederacy
should have kept slavery openssl the present-day louis imagine if they had
been allowed to succeed we would at this point probably have a total
third-world could still be at the likes of which
you find in science fiction
right next door
yes definitely i mean in almost certainly would have led to either
the uh...
assemble war
eventually
or
than having to join
the northern states just because of uh...
financially economically pretty would that have interest
