The well-known country singer strongly criticized right-wing critics, especially other country musicians, for their racist and over-the-top reaction to celebrating Latino culture at the Super Bowl.
In a popular Instagram post, Crockett said, “They keep calling me a cosplay cowboy, but they love a cosplay president.
Some people have been calling Muhammad Ali a draft dodger, even though there’s one in the White House.”
“When I was at the Grammys last night, I saw a guy talking about Jesus, and then I saw Bad Bunny talking like Jesus.
The country music establishment should be paying attention to a Puerto Rican American who hasn’t forgotten his roots and brought his culture’s traditional music back to the forefront, showing the world something new with it.”
“The President is a fraud who ruined six casinos.
That’s pretty shocking, especially since it’s a rigged business in favor of the house. The only thing he’s good at is filing lawsuits and pretending a successful businessman is a reality TV actor.”
“Last time I checked, Elon Musk is an immigrant from South Africa, but there he is in the White House buying our elections.
Let’s deport him and send Peter Thiel back with him, since they both believe in a post-democratic society where men like them are above the law.”
“Forgive me if I have a problem with a 34-time convicted felon running this country, especially when I lost the right to vote or own a weapon for years because of marijuana.
As long as you hate the oppressed and love your oppressor, you’ll never understand why our generation is poorer than our parents and grandparents. As a great man once said, it’s welfare for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor.”
“If you can sleep at night while licking their boots, that’s between you and your conscience, but that kind of thinking isn’t freedom.
It’s mental slavery. Every right we have wasn’t given to us; we had to fight and take it.”
“Judge a man by how he treats the poor and those who he thinks can’t do anything for him.
Don’t forget why Muhammad Ali said, ‘I am America.’ Remember the coal miners of Harlan County, Kentucky. I believe in what we can be. Ride on.”
WOW.
Couldn’t have said it better ourselves! The more people in the country music world speak out like this, the more people who really need to hear these messages will hear them.
