    Country music has always been white supremacist though. Sweet Home Alabama, possibly the most famous country song has the following verse:

    Well I heard Mr Young sing about her

    Well, I heard ol’ Neil put her down

    Well, I hope Neil Young will remember

    A Southern man don’t need him around, anyhow

    Is a direct response and essentially “fuck you” to Neil Young’s song “Southern Man”, which was calling out the horrors of slavery in the South.
