Jason Aldean and Self-Gaslighting Racists

Shared from RadicalRuss.com—

When Jason Aldean says “there is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it” and “there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage,” it’s like noting that the White Power symbol is just an OK sign and that All Lives Matter.
