"love everyone" the morning after an attempted coup and acts of terrorism by Trump supporters carrying confederate flags & wearing Camp Auschwitz sweatshirts...it may seem small and futile to focus on this and country music's reaction right now but I believe it is not.
While some of y'all seem to have said "love everyone" to your kids I sat my white son down to talk about terrorism, white supremacy & his own white privilege while also explaining to him that some of these people could be dangerous to him as a Jewish person. Not "love everyone."
we didn't say "love everyone" after other terrorist attacks on this country - instead many in the genre used 9/11 to transform it into a peddler of "patriotism" as a prolonged cover for deep institutional racism and misogyny
Just for a bit of very very abridged historical background here, after 9/11 some country radio stations went to live talk for 3 hours and shared listener calls. Then the next several years included a tag of "patriotic songs."
