"I feel like modern country is deliberately dumbing down the human race," James declares. "They're deliberately making people take glory in being uneducated and racist, and it's just sad. I think it's absolute mind control." |

While I hate new country music, I'd hardly call it racist. Some groups collaborate with rappers these days.

What an idiot. There is NOTHING racist about modern Country Music.
Now, I think the quality has fallen off a cliff in the past 15-20 years. Kind of like NASCAR. It got popular and promoters jacked it into overdrive to cash in so now, they just spit out crap songs and the (maybe non-core) country fans lap it up. All IMO, of course. TC ETA: Someone needs to ask if he thinks Rap/hip hop is racist and aimed at dumbing down America? I know what MY answer is... |

I believe that the President of the Unites States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, is deliberately dumbing down the human race. President Obama is deliberately making people take glory in being uneducated and racist, and it's just sad.

Don't think it's racist, but it certainly is crap and I consider it B string pop music and probably just an elaborate practical joke played on it's fans.

While I'll agree most modern country sucks...it isn't any dumber than
That crap thug life rap. |

A bunch of retards with auto tune and sounding like they're singing with a dip in their lip isn't country.

The entertainment and media industry as a whole, and all of their peripheral industries are dumbing down America

You can only dumb down yourself. But, if I had to wager as to what contributes, I'd definitely put the press at number one- that includes the racial divide too.
|

If anything is making the world stupid, it's (C)rap. Look at all the dumb white and other kids with saggy pants.

And I'd be very surprised if anyone is saying that rap, hip-hop, and other sub-genres of that type of noise is elevating the intellectual capacity of anybody. Unless you think that forced rhymes are the be-all and end-all in music. And if you do, I have no words....... |

Well, he's not wrong.

Wifey and I go C&W dancing every weekend. The music is not racist.
But it does glorify promiscuity, drunkenness, infidelity, bad grammar, creepy obsessions with people who don't want you anymore, and funny accents. Country, like POP music, is 98% full-blown stupid. Rap is 100% stupid. |

I've never heard of him.
Why does anyone care about his opinion? |
|
There is a lot of absolutely horrid country out there. However I think they still have a ways to go before it's on the level of Hip Hop/Rap.

Lots of new age country sounds almost indistinguishable from rap.
