Lately, there have been heartbreaking events where Black people were found hanging from trees. One of them was Trey Reed. You’d think people would at least be respectful and mourn those who died, especially since many believe these were lynchings. But, of course, not everyone thinks like that. A racist Virginia singer is currently under fire after he released a song that is about lynching Black people. The timing of the song makes it clear that he meant Black people. It doesn’t help that the singer is quite conservative as well. “Vengeance is the laws but brother justice ain’t a sin. Think we need a big tall tree and a short piece of rope. Hands up high at sundown. Leave them swinging so the folks all know you don’t miss around in our town,” are some of the song’s lyrics.
Once the racist Virginia singer faced backlash, he started claiming that his song wasn’t about Black people. Many MAGA supporters also defended him, saying that the song is taken out of context. Well, if the lyrics aren’t about lynching Black people, then why did the singer delete the video defending himself? He also made his TikTok account private. If you are telling the truth, then you have no reason to hide. Several creators asked conservatives to start condemning the singer since they attacked liberals for celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death. It is just insane to me that a group of people agreed on doing a song like this. Even if the song was about lynching people in general, this doesn’t make it any better.
People Reacting to the Racist Virginia Singer’s Song
Of course, people were disturbed by the Virginia singer’s song. Almost no one believed that the song had any meaning other than lynching Black people. The disgusting lyrics made one woman write, “I actually gasped – this is horrifying.” Another person was also upset as they said, “We’re at the point of lynchings and openly advocating for sundown towns. I’m so tired. When are countries going to start accepting US asylum seekers??” Someone else believed that this kind of racism has always been there. “For everyone saying that they ‘can’t believe we’re here.’, we NEVER LEFT,” they wrote. Unfortunately, they have got a point. One person also questioned why anyone would blame them for not caring about Charlie Kirk when such a song is out there. “BUT I’M THE PROBLEM FOR NOT CARING ABOUT KIRK!?” they questioned.
Others couldn’t believe that anyone would defend the Virginia singer, especially with these lyrics. This made one person write what they thought conservatives might say, “‘but did you hear the whole song for context?!’” It turns out that some people actually defended the guy, as another person said, “This is exactly what they’re saying over on Reddit about this song… it’s WILD.” Someone else explained why this song is definitely about Black people. “Have you listened to the song?? They’re basically using the imagery of lynching and sundown towns (he says sundown). And which demographic has been historically victims of lynching? So they’re indirectly saying if Black people step out of line (i.e disagree with them) in White spaces they’ll hang them,” they wrote. This kind of song shouldn’t be there in the first place.
