Tried to save his rear on the whole racist thing by dropping a line about Charley Pride. Im not buying it. "White noise comin from white boys"...then a line saying its not about black and white. That would be the exact thing as this... I like red cars, only red cars. (now a second sentence) That last sentence wasn't about red cars. Yes it was. "It ain't a thing bout black and white" Yes it was. Yet, even more racism from Josh Turner....hot garbage |

so, without reaching very far at all...... Saying "God bless Wade Hampton" who fought for "a flag, a state, and a way of life" would be tantamount to: "God bless the richest slave owning officer of the Confederacy who fought to maintain slavery, racism, and hate" I have lost all respect for Josh Turner. I scoff whenever I hear him sing any songs about religion such as Long Black Train or The Way He Was Raised. It's absolutley laughable, and disgustingly hypocritical. |

...Now there was Wade Hampton, Wade Hampton II, and Wade Hampton III. All three were officers in wars. As far as "military exploits" go, Wade Hampton III (civil war) was the most prominent, and the most successful in politics. Either one he is talking about, they were all slave owners. However, not just any slave owners...the most prominent. Actually, no one (and I mean no one) in the entire United States owned more slaves. Sidenote: no state had more slaves than South Carolina. So, one could say (and without running the risk of being incorrect) that Wade Hampton was the posterchild of slavery. If any officer in the entire Confederacy would've been fighting for racism, hatred, slavery, aristocracy, greed, etc., that officer would be Wade Hampton.... |

Once I heard the part about "God bless WADE HAMPTON and the swamp fox.....they fought for a flag, a state, and a WAY OF LIFE", it set off alarms in my head. So, I looked it up, and confirmed what I thought I had remembered..... Wade Hampton was a Confederate officer in the Civil War. Although it was not uncommon to own slaves back then (common or not...wrong), Wade Hampton cannot possibly fall into the common slave owning male of the day category.... |
