They seem to be banning this rag, just about everywhere nowadays?!!:good4u:

One of the biggest country music festivals has put its boot down: No more Confederate flags.

The Country Music Association added “Confederate flag imagery of any kind” to the prohibited items list at the upcoming CMA Fest in Nashville, Tennessee.

The four-day festival is scheduled June 9-12 after a two-year postponement during the COVID-19 pandemic, the association announced online.

The association said the decision to ban Confederate flag imagery was an updated part of the policy to protect the safety of fans, according to a statement obtained by The Tennessean.

“This year’s CMA Fest is our first major fan-facing event in nearly three years. We have always had policies in place that protect the safety of our fans and ban discrimination, but we felt it was important to further refine our language to explicitly outline what will and will not be tolerated,” the CMA said in the statement, according to The Tennessean.

“In line with our first CMA Fest lineup announcement in early April, our event policy was published on our website, which states any behavior that causes one of our attendees to fear for their personal safety will not be tolerated, and that is inclusive of any displays of the Confederate flag.”

Oh good. Let's hope that the outrage from country fans and Reichwingers will be so great that country music dies for lack of fans. :laugh:
 
“In line with our first CMA Fest lineup announcement in early April, our event policy was published on our website, which states any behavior that causes one of our attendees to fear for their personal safety will not be tolerated, and that is inclusive of any displays of the Confederate flag.”

Organizations such as the Stagecoach Festival in California and NASCAR have banned Confederate flags as well. NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace told NPR that he was proud of the racing organization, which banned the symbol in June 2020.

“No one should feel uncomfortable when they come to a NASCAR race. So it starts with Confederate flags. Get them out of here. They have no place for them,” he told NPR.

The CMA festival’s decision comes in the wake of multiple country stars being criticized for racially inappropriate comments or appearances with the Confederate flag.
 
It appears the alt leftie malcontent s can't deal with the past. Let's all hold hands and erase our history.

Cragars, Mopar, Waylon Jennings, and Denver Pyle. That's mighty American. :good4u:

The real Duke boys were John Schneider and Tom Wopat.

Oh! Waylon sounds like an aunt of mine. This is good stuff!

Hoo-lee SHIT! This is going to be a spectacle in the media! I can't WAIT to read all the "reasons" to keep the damned thing around. It's like the Nazi's bitching in Germany about "pride" in the German soldier. Classic! Let the games begin!

I lived through the culture wars of music in Long Island, New York during the 1970's and 80's. While I'm no big fan of a LOT of "country & western" style music, there is a sizable amount that I find quite pleasant and just damned good music.

It's not "dead", just going through changes.

The barbaric confederate flag to which the confederacy was destroyed by President Lincoln's Union Army and to which the U.S. annexed the confederacy at in particular saving the soul of the South and pursuing a more civilized nature in this part of the western hemisphere, which of course continues to be a ongoing challenge. Waving and flaunting the barbaric and shit stained legacy of the confederate flag in America is equivalent to waving the flag of all foreign enemies in America too.

It didn't used to, but it does stand for racism now. We are one country. Get rid of it.. we can use torn up ones as toilet paper if there's another Covid crisis.

Hey, kiddo, it's not your hated, "left" who's banning books because they might remind of us slavery. I swear, you are just smart enough to type in complete sentences. And that's it!
 
I love old country music. Don't find much to like about the new stuff which doesn't really sound like that twangy country of old. Somebody likes it so leave it to them to keep it going.

The absence of the flag harms nobody except those who view it as some sort of security blanket against the meanies who won't support their dying pride in their racism. Good riddance.
