Professors claim Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’ contains ‘coded’ racial language, pictures

August 3, 2023

The Hollywood Reporter (THR) condemned country music star Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town” and quoted academics accusing it of spreading division and racism.

Aldean became a national figure after he released a music video for his song, “Try That in a Small Town,” that included authentic news footage of rioters, looters, and violence in 2020 after the death of George Floyd.

In the song, the country singer warned such activity would not be tolerated in rural America.

CMT responded by pulling the music video from circulation on their network.

THR published a piece on Wednesday, “How Jason Aldean Cynically Built ‘Small Town’ to Appeal to Trump Country,” noting that some have blasted the song as “a pro-lynching anthem and anti-Black.”
