Country Artists Speaking Out Against Racism And Discrimination

Racism against black people in America is real, and it’s systematic. I realize my take is not needed right now, but I hurt for the people in our country who aren’t treated fairly. I stand with black Americans seeking justice and ask that you do whatever you can to help.

If you can’t (and I know full well how challenging these times are financially) then volunteer, serve, sign up, step up – in whatever way you can. Systemic racism is never going to recede without a LOT of people stepping up in a more constructive way. pic.twitter.com/Whknwj7uA7

It’s been hard to find the words to adequately convey how outraged and sad I am. WHITE PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT SO FUCKING WRONG SINCE THE BEGINNING and I will do whatever I can I help break the DISGUSTING, damaging cycle racism and systemic privilege causes. I will not be a bystander.

George Floyd was murdered. I couldn’t even watch the whole video, which shows my privilege. I get to turn it off and keep scrolling, but for black people in America, it’s their everyday reality. They don’t get to. Tired of hoping for a better day for them. Ready to fucking see it

I haven’t really spoken on #GeorgeFloyd, because I’m honestly without words. All that’s in my mouth is complete hatred and I know that isn’t the solution. I don’t know what the solution is. But this HAS TO END. No human being should be treated that way. May justice come.

Also, I shared some resources for personal anti-racism work yesterday on Instagram, and I’m resharing here: pic.twitter.com/cvJ99BFzsS

If you look at this and think for 1 second that it’s anything but completely horrifying or try and justify it in any way unfollow me. Matter of fact let me know who you are so I can completely cut ties with you pic.twitter.com/0OlhljcTDQ

If your heart doesn’t ache, I mean ACHE and the fire in your belly doesn’t burn hot, you are not paying attention. PAY ATTENTION.
