Country music star Jason Aldean faced a small group of protestors outside the Xfinity Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut on Sunday, July 30th. The protest was organized by Kamora's Cultural Corner and titled "Small Towns Against Hate," urging attendees to wear ballroom attire. The demonstration came more than two weeks after the release of Aldean's single and video, "Try That in a Small Town."
The release of the video on July 14th caused a liberal outrage with its strong Pro-America message. CMT decided to pull the video from its rotation, and Aldean had to take out footage of riots because of copyright issues from Black Lives Matter.
Kamora Herrington, who organized the protest against "Try That In A Small Town", explained that the demonstration aimed to explain that the song is hateful and they are there to promote love and equality. Right. On the other hand, all the fans of the music and everyone with common sense support the message behind the song. It isn't inherently racist and should not be targeted as such. The protest was reported locally to have been very small, with on a couple dozen or so protestors showing up.
In response to the woke mob's meltdown surrounding the song, Jason Aldean addressed the issue on July 18th. He clarified that the song was not intended to be pro-lynching or divisive in any way. Aldean also stressed that the video used real news footage and did not reference race in its lyrics. This is a song about America. The only way you can think it's an evil song is if you are from a city and have been brainwashed with radical social justice theory.
Despite the effort at cancellation, "Try That in a Small Town" has achieved significant success on music charts, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and peaking at No. 2 on the Hot 100 and Global 200 charts.
