Country music #Grammy award winner #MarenMorris releases a tease of her new ‘Small Town’ song and video shaming Jason ‘Has Been’ #Aldean who released a song with a similar theme but a darkly racist video. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/maren-morris-small-town-teaser_n_64fb4ab0e4b08f0f4ebd8a23

I lived in Lafayette, Indiana for 14 years. It's much smaller than the Nashville that #Aldean and his song writers come from.

Home of Purdue! Black profs frequently left after a year or two out of safety concerns (it's in the NYT)

And the birth place of that Confederate Flag parade that ran for years after the mas shooting murder in Charleston.

Three different times cars downtown were leafletted by the klan.

It's getting worse. We moved.
