I get it, but I don´t

 I get it, but I don´t, people saying that this new Jason Aldean country song is racist.  I do not like country music of any kind, but I did listen to this one.  As it is country I didn´t like it anyways, but I really didn´t see the racism that many are claiming.  I seen a bunch of rioters of all colors destroying property and taking advantage of a situation and took it way too far.  Protesting no, protesting with aggressive behavior and destruction of property by definition is rioting.  He says do that in a small town, because in small towns the people tend to stick to together to protect each other and the things they have worked all their lives for.  

In the cities the connection to your neighbors and fellow residents is not like it is in a small town.  In small sections of certain neighborhoods it may have that feel, but overall, the cities are more dangerous now than ever before.  This can´t be blamed specifically on the Democrats or Republicans, it must be blamed on both even when the Democratic party has the politically oppressive history in this country.  Its called American history for a reason, you all should learn it instead of trying to erase it.  We have history because it highlights the great times and the horrible times and helps us as a country not to repeat the horrible things.

Now, comparing this country song to an explicit song called WAP (wet ass pu**y) makes no sense.  They aren´t even close to talking about the same thing, and yuh know what, neither are malicious.  If you listen to the songs with no video, what would the message be?  Would one still be thought of as racist, probably not.  Would one still be explicit and inappropriate, absolutely, but not to everyone.  What I am getting at is that people will always perceive things differently and some of those people will push their views on others to get them riled up and looking for a reason to condemn.

I have a lot of Brown and dark skinned friends and I have never thought negative about any of them, and I hope the same is true back at me.  I do see where there should be conversations with each other to clear the air.  I mean, c´mon, we all know this started with the untimely death of George Floyd.  Its no mystery that this is when this BLM movement started, but the fact is to most Black lives have always mattered along with everyone else.  Life is precious and all matters.  We are segregating ourselves with stupid arguments and losing the vision of everyone sticking together in a storied country.  Of course there are other issues like illegal immigration, use of taxpayer funds for vote grabs by the politicians, child sex trafficking, a drug epidemic that is hitting every town in America.  Let us all stand up against this stuff to protect our country and not constantly be divided by stupid things.

All this push for LGBTQ+ is all good, but you can´t force people to have your beliefs and if they don´t agree with you, then they are automatically your enemy.  That is just childish and ignorant behavior.  This country is sliding backwards and not very many are thinking about our overall safety on a world stage.  You want to push hate, then you are the problem, you want to sue people for everything, then you are the problem, you want to talk bad about your country, then you are the problem, you want to turn a blind eye to sex trafficking and the drugs, then you are the problem, if you want to force your beliefs and push for the extraction of monuments and our history, then you are the problem.  If you don´t like what I have said here, then that is your right to think that way.  I get it, but I don´t....

Your You is Acceptance

 Take it as you will,

The thrill to fill the senses,

To be who you are and nothing but eccentric,

The person that knows you best is the heart inside your chest,

You feel, you see, you try to do your best,

You worry, you cry, you focus with your eyes,

Do you see the you that everyone else sees,

Or are you your own flavor of pie,

Do you listen to others when they don´t believe in you or their righteous mothers,

Do you look into the sky at night and snag the stars,

Do you do laps around the lunar round that´s right before your eyes,

Do you walk by a tree that has seen centuries and try to learn its story,

Catch the shade that mother earth has made,

Kick your feet up and know that you are worth the wait,

Observing makes you deserving of the secrets of the worthy,

Don´t be shy or look down when you have the chance to shine,

Don´t look away after a bully spits in your eye,

Take the rains of the given and turn it into your way of livin,

Teach the foe that has crossed your path and avoid a dark and gloomy aftermath,

Take the high road and show the way,

The power is in the words you say,

Eat the fruits of the trees and vines and notice the juices of natures find,

Charge your mind and ambition and throw away the ammunition,

What is war, a recognition?

Don´t settle for the worst that´s given,

Take the energy you have inside and shed the negative divide,

Its in your hands,

Don´t you blink,

It´ll be much easier than you think,

Accept the you.....
