Yes, Alex Haley admitted he lied but people still believe it’s true.

It’s quite difficult to do genealogy on slaves all the way back to Africa much less any dialog or beliefs of the characters.

Oh nose!

Without a steady income...

He will have to become niggardly with his money and fortune!

Or suffer a loss of means.

I’ll take Wallen over 99% of the crap on country radio. He’s good.

Are you kidding me? He’s a pretty boy with a bad mullet who sings soft pop.

Typical of today’s Country. Horrible.

“He lives in a very free country.”

No he doesnt. Try being one of the people you mentioned who fails to try to destroy him. Try saying “Ah, he’s sorry, I forgive him. “ They’ll destroy YOU. NONE of the entities who are turning their back on this guy is free to do anything else...unless they want to suffer the same fate. If you’re not allowed to have a conscience or disagree with the voice from the ether without absolutely having to suffer total social and economic destruction you don’t live in a free society. ANYBODY who shows this guy any kindness will be destroyed if he’s found out.

Mr. Wallen made a decision to exercise his free speech and voice his opinion and that moment was recorded. The person who recorded him also exercised their free speech by making the video public.

All the entities from his label to radio stations are answering to the consumer, but in the end, they are all exercising their freedom to disassociate themselves with Mr. Wallen.

His fate is not far from that of the Dixie Chicks. They expressed an unpopular opinion and the market reacted.

The Dixie Chicks ruined themselves as country music artists and now Mr. Wallen has ruined his own career. It was his choice.

And everyone still has their freedom of speech.

Sam Clemens would not be free to be Mark Twain today. Period. A hundred and twenty years ago he was free to be Mark Twain even though many or most at the top of society disliked or outright despised him and enveighed and railed against him.

Your twisted understanding of the word is un American ahistorical and vicious. By your lights anyone in the Soviet Union was free to proclaim “The Chairman and the Party can bite my clank!” Well, they were weren’t they? We in America were proud of our true freedom. We once could be truely offensive to anyone or everyone and yet go on with our lives. Not any more. And THAT ain’t Freedom. Being doxxed isn’t freedom. Having howling banshees at your door isn’t freedom...it’s war...

We’re not in a free country anymore if Sam Clemens could not be Mark Twain. And he couldnt. Not by a longshot.

Mr. Wallen was not doxxed.

He is a public figure who elected to make a statement on a public street.

He had no expectation of privacy.

He was not in his house, he was outside and the person who shot the video was either on his own property or on a public street or sidewalk.

How does someone saying ONE WORD ever justify destroying ones career? The entire concept if PC is something Democrats created after they created slavery and KKK white supremacy with Sen Byrd’s help. Freedom of speech was always said to be the right to offend others. Now it has become about over hyped PC where others can destroy you for saying one word. It is now a political tactic by leftists to control our words and eliminate freedom of speech.

“How does someone saying ONE WORD ever justify destroying ones career?”

That would be up to those who he had previously entered into business relationships. They can opt to remain in their business relationship or they may exit that relationship.
