[RB 60]

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

[FONT=&]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.”

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.

Gretchen Wilson. She's the only country artist I can stand. She rocks!

I have no idea who that is. I will go find something of hers and have a listen.

"Redneck Woman". One of her hits.

Country music is already dead. I haven’t heard a new country song since the 90’s.

Hahahaha -- yeah, it's nothing like it used to be. The songs all sound the same -- awful.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Poor Dolly.

Yeah, she would probably never make it to country stardom if she was just starting out today.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

I just associate that nonsense with rural cartoon characters now.

It appears the alt leftie malcontent s can't deal with the past.

Let's all hold hands and erase our history.

We don't tolerate the Nazi flag being displayed on public property, and somehow the history of Nazi Germany is one of the most well documented and understood chapters in human history.

And the Confederacy is the same thing...or at least it should be regarding that stupid flag.

Same with the Confederacy ... or at least it should be regarding that stupid flag.

Has anyone ever been physically harmed by a flag ?

If you dont want to SEE the flags just say so but pretending that they are a threat to anyone makes you look foolish and do not comprehend WHY some people dont like seeing them. Is that the message CMA wants to send ?

Fuck you.

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.

No it doesn't. You're just a fucktard.

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.

“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.

Should erase the decadents of the traitors

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!

Meanwhile not ary a one of you leftist shitbirds have contributed a damn thing to American culture. Fuck You all, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart because you all are total shitbirds.

In the end, flags are either just pieces of cloth, or they mean something more. I understand if to you they are just pieces of cloth, but to many of us they mean something.
