‘Must Protect Our Community’: Famed Civil Rights Activist Defends Jason Aldean

Jason Aldean has been under fire since the release of his music video for “Try That In a Small Town” on July 14th. The left has taken every opportunity to pearl-clutch and accuse Aldean of being a racist due to the perceived nature of the song and the choice of where the music video was filmed.

The video was filmed locally at the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee. This coincidentally is the location of an infamous lynching in 1927 of a black man that was accused of raping a white teenage girl. Liberals have seized on this coincidence to deflect the message and content of the video, which leans heavily into the BLM riots of 2020.

What leftists fail to realize is Columbia is a popular location for filming movies and music videos due to its proximity to Nashville. In fact, numerous music videos and movies have been filmed featuring shots of the courthouse, including the Hannah Montana movie and the Lifetime network movie “Steppin Into the Holidays.”

Naturally, actual facts are inconvenient to the left, so the faux outrage continues, with cancellation attempts, calls for the removal of the video by cowardly CMT, and cries for mainstream radio to ban the song from the airwaves.

The song and music video simply uses actual video footage from the “mostly peaceful’ 2020 BLM riots and reiterates that if you want to act a fool, don’t try it in a small town. A very simple message and premise, but one that sent the left into a tizzy.

While Aldean has stood firm with his assertion that there are no racial overtones in the video, powerful allies have also stepped forward to support the superstar. Country heavyweights like Travis Tritt, John Rich, Lee Greenwood, Luke Bryan, and others have stepped up in support of Aldean, while leftists like Sheryl Crow and the twits on “The View” have called for Aldean’s cancellation.

Now, another vitally important voice for common sense has spoken out in support of the song and its message. Civil rights legend Bob Woodson recently had some choice words about the controversy. He said: “I do not find Jason Aldean’s song, ‘Try That in a Small Town,’ offensive, nor do I find it racist. What he’s really talking about is protecting traditional values. Some years ago, the Woodson Center also had a full day’s conference where we organized around the country grassroots leaders and the theme was, ‘Not Here You Don’t,’ where we talked about the need to protect our community from drug dealers and thugs.”

Woodson’s message reiterates what Aldean asserts; the message is in defense of small-town and neighborhood values and the need to have our neighbor’s backs and watch out for each other in the face of evil. Hardly a controversial take. Yet the left, in their zeal to inflame and divide, continue to push the false narrative of racism.

Woodson continued: “I don’t see any difference in what Jason is talking about and what we at the Woodson Center talked about, that we must protect our community.”

Bob Woodson knows a thing or two about racism. His work during the civil rights movement was vitally important. The fact that he is speaking out in defense of Jason Aldean and the message of the song should put a stop to the vitriol from the left.

Sadly, he will probably be dismissed as the black face of white supremacy or some other inane insult as the left continues its assault on conservative values and common sense.

I ASKED MY NEIGHBOR TO CLEAN UP AFTER USING MY BBQ — THE NEXT DAY, SHE LEFT HER OWN “RULES” ON MY DOOR, BUT I SHUT THAT DOWN. So, about six months ago, a new neighbor moved in — a woman (40) with her son (16). At first, she seemed chill. I even lent her some household stuff and let her use my outdoor grill station when we weren’t home. No big deal, right? Wrong. One weekend, me, my husband and our kids went to visit my parents. We came back, and boom — MY BACKYARD LOOKED LIKE A FRAT HOUSE HAD JUST HOSTED A BBQ APOCALYPSE. Empty bottles, food scraps, grill left dirty like it had survived a grease explosion. I ask her about it, and she just shrugs, saying it was her son’s birthday, so you know, it’s just kids, it’s what kids do. Apparently, I shouldn’t make a fuss over something so minor. Lady, it’s my backyard, not a public park! So, I do the reasonable thing. I draft up three simple rules: 1. If you use something, clean it and put it back. 2. Please, clean up after your child. 3. That’s it. Just be respectful. I hand it to her, thinking we’re all good. THE NEXT DAY, I WAKE UP TO A LIST OF HER RULES TAPED TO MY DOOR. HER rules. For MY property. Spoiler: I didn’t follow her rules. In two weeks, her son knocked on my door and pleaded, “Ma’am, please, stop!” 👇🏼 Full story in the first comment 👇

MY SISTER TOOK BACK THE CAR SHE GIFTED ME AFTER I UPGRADED IT, SO I TAUGHT HER A LESSON. My older sister sold me her old car for a symbolic amount. It hadn’t run in ages, with flat tires and rust under the hood. But she made a big deal out of gifting it to me. Knowing my way around cars, I invested $5,000 to upgrade everything—new interior, fresh paint, new tires, and wheels. I was thrilled with the result. One morning, as I was about to leave for university, my sister stormed in, DEMANDING THE CAR BACK. I was sh0cked. She claimed her husband’s car had broken down, and since she hadn’t sent the sale documents, the car was still legally hers. She said she had changed her mind. My parents sided with her, arguing that she needed the car for her kids. My first thought was to call the police, but then I had a better idea. I decided to teach her a lesson she wouldn’t forget.

A POOR BOY’S LIFE CHANGES AFTER HE PULLS AN OLD, RUSTY CHAIN STICKING OUT OF THE SAND ON A REMOTE BEACH Adam is 13 years old and lives with his grandfather in an old trailer near the ocean. His parents passed away when he was just 3, and since then, his grandpa has been his only family. They don’t have much, but his grandpa has raised him well—Adam is strong, smart, and way more mature than most kids his age. One afternoon, he rode his bike down to the beach, just like any other day. He wandered along the shore, letting the waves tickle his feet—until something caught his eye. A thick, rusted chain lay partially buried in the sand. Curious, Adam grabbed it and pulled—but it barely budged. Whatever it was connected to was massive. From that moment on, Adam became obsessed with digging. He had no idea what he was about to uncover—or how it was about to change his life forever ⬇️

The rusted chain jutting from the sand seemed worthless to everyone else, but to 13-year-old Adam, it promised an escape from poverty. He couldn’t have known that…

THEY WERE PRAYING IN A CIRCLE—BUT NO ONE TAUGHT THEM HOW It was just after snack time, and I was washing out some paint cups when I noticed the room had gone oddly quiet. Too quiet for a group of 4- and 5-year-olds who usually treated volume like a sport. I turned the corner into the play area and stopped in my tracks. Four of them—Niko, Janelle, Izzy, and Samir—were sitting cross-legged in a perfect little circle. Hands held. Eyes shut. Heads bowed. They were whispering something I couldn’t quite catch at first. I thought maybe it was a song or one of those rhyming games they loved. But when I leaned in, I realized they were… praying. Like, really praying. Asking for things. Saying “Amen.” Janelle even crossed herself at the end like she’d seen in church. Thing is, we don’t do any kind of religious activity in our classroom. It’s a public kindergarten. No nativity plays, no Bible stories, nothing. And I’d never seen any of these four talk about faith or even mimic that kind of behavior before. I crouched down and gently asked, “Hey, what are you guys doing?” Izzy opened one eye and whispered, “We’re asking the sky to help us.” “Help you with what?” I asked. Niko just said, ⬇️
