Darrius Rucker was/is pretty popular too. And while kind of niche, Cowboy Troy at least had a respectable following.
It is a lot like Black people in Metal. Its not that they are actively discriminated against, and they will even be popular. It is just that, due to the demographics of where it is popular, they are typically outnumbered by White people.
Exactly. People don’t understand this. Same goes for hobbies that appeal to more men than women or vice versa. I like Rucker and Chicken with the Train wasn’t bad. There was a black lady who sang country I liked until after the Floyd riots all of a sudden she couldn’t shut up about race when she never mentioned it before so I stopped listening to her. But like you said mostly whites listen to country and that is fine. I love old country and blues and it’s interesting to see how each influenced each other

I wish it was this consistent. They don't give a shit if it's a female-dominated interest/career and such. In fact it's a good thing, and any men joining is something that must be stopped. Same goes for the racial thing; "black spaces" and all that. The less white people and men you have, the more Diverse™ you are.
True. I meant that it’s a fact that certain things appeal to more men than women but like you said if something appeals to men it’s a bad thing. Same with the race thing. I got downvoted on Reddit a while back for questioning the obsession with diversity in sci-fi/fantasy books. Not that many black people read them so I wondered why the need to bend over backwards. But you are right about what diversity means. The drop in entertainment should be enough reason to stop hiring activists
Yup. Frozen Crown comes to mind, which had a black and female guitarist. She wasn't lynched or otherwise driven from the metal scene. She must have just slipped through the cracks, I suppose, because obviously metal must be really racist and icky, right? I looked it up, she went on to join Angus McSix, too.
Yeah, and she is just as good in McSix as she was in Frozen Crown. If I had to guess, much like most members of Angus McSix, she joined because she wanted a band that wasnt going to tour a lot so she could have more home time.
Yeah, when I looked her up, it seems she's focusing on "content creation" and teaching music. Doesn't surprise me that she'd want to not tour a lot; that can be incredibly stressful.
And he had legit respect in the industry because he had an honest love for the music. Great song
