    Lyrics from a new Jason Aldean song. It’s catching all kinds of flak…

    “Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
    Carjack an old lady at a red light
    Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
    Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like
    Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
    Stomp on the flag and light it up
    Yeah, ya think you're tough
    Well, try that in a small town”

    Now I don’t necessarily think they are very good, but that’s not the question…

    The Brad

      The flak-throwers obviously never listen to Hip-hop.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        The first three are black male things, but the last two are more white female things.

          Not racist. Anti-crime, maybe. If the person offended associates the crime with a particular race, then who is the racist? (Or realist)

            Is there a difference?

                “Is this Racist?“

                Why are you asking? Haven’t you been telling us all this time that everything is racist?

                You having a change of heart now?

                      It’s just lame.

                      About as lame as plagiarism, Sheryl?

                      Please love yourself.

                        What you need to know about Sheryl Crow is that she's the sort who marries a high status sociopath, because high status. In no universe are social climbers of that sort not programmed into believing the whole bucket of high status (luxury) beliefs. Her sociopath ex-fiancee parrots all of them, too.
