Fox Panel Flips Out As WaPo Mentions Country Music And Race
On Monday's Fox News Outnumbered, the right-wing panel turned a story about copyrights in country music into a "war on woke." Because of course they did.
A Washington Post op-ed covered the complicated emotions in Nashville over Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car."
Country music artist Luke Combs covered that song to phenomenal success. The song went to number one on the Billboard Country airplay chart.
The WaPo op-ed simply noted that the re-make...
...prompted a wave of complicated feelings among some listeners and in the Nashville music community. Although many are thrilled to see “Fast Car” back in the spotlight and a new generation discovering Chapman’s work, it’s clouded by the fact that, as a Black queer woman, Chapman, 59, would have almost zero chance of that achievement herself in country music.
Sounds like some people in the country music industry want more diversity and inclusion in their business. Wouldn't that be nice?
But Outnumbered had to make this into white grievance reverse discrimination culture war anti-woke nonsense.
It's no surprise that Black and queer musicians have not been represented in Nashville. But this discussion, and that's all it was, is way too unconformable for Kayleigh McEnany and crew.
