"You have until Sunday night to vote for the member you think should get this reward for their particularity to hate everyone and every artists on this planet" I only really listen to like 5 pop artists and think everyone here has horrible taste in music. I hate/dislike Melanie, Tove Lo, Troye, Karmin, Natalia, Allie Xtraforehead, Katy, That Poppy, Birdie, Nicki, Jojo, Hana, CL, Dami Im, Charli XCX, DNCE, Florrie, all the drag race singers and despise every male pop singer and only like 8 members

Vote for me! I hate everyone and everything

All of the performances I said have been within the past few years when he's been active on social media. If he felt disapproval of past performances it seems he would've publicly shared them since he's pretty open about his opinions all the time anyway. Country artists perform at the Grammys tho? They have for decades so idk what you're even trying to say with that. As I said before, I never outright called him a racist and even applauded his past works, I said that this discussion itself is based around a racist set of views held in country music. You can say something lowkey racist without being racist. I don't see how you're not getting that?? The closest thing to a metal awards show is the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame which has inducted rock, metal, country, pop, jazz and rap artists. Metal heads typically don't like generic pop artists because of their meaningless lyrics, but there's a general respect for all genres since metal is a fusion of so many types of music. A lot of big names in metal (as well as fans) respect the hell out of Lady Gaga. Shit, Bruce Dickinson, probably the single most influential metal singer of the past 30 years loves Gaga and has praised her on multiple occasions. She's highly respected in metal communities, though some people don't like her music because it's pop and not their thing, they typically appreciate the fact that she's highly influenced by metal artists and makes unique music.

He said he's complained in the past but where's the proof? I couldn't find any tweets, facebook posts or interviews about previous non-country performers - which is something I spent almost a hour doing last night before even posting this - nothing was said about Elton John until after he made Beyonce comments (he also has a lowkey homophobic line in a song so that could possibly be a reason he name dropped Elton tbh, but that's another discussion ) I didn't label him an outright racist, I questioned why he felt the need to speak out against Beyonce but not any other non-country artists in the past and mentioned that country music as a whole has a long history of racism, particularly the eras he was raised and popular in. He can be against Beyonce's performance without being racist, but only having proof of a dislike of non-country performers surface after Beyonce's performance is what needs to be questioned. There's nothing wrong with critiquing it or not wanting non-country artists at a country awards show, not wanting Beyonce there doesn't make someone racist, it's the lack of evidence of dislike of other performers. Plus, CMT erasing Beyonce from their site and 1000s of viewers having issues with black performers is racist. People were protesting over Darius Rucker winning artists of the year and boycotted the show the next year even though he sings nothing but country music now. Anyway... someone can say something problematic without being a racist, but doesn't mean there's not a subtle hint of racism in it. In fact, I applaud Travis Tritt for being one for the few country artists of his time to perform with black artists. BUT that doesn't mean this situation shouldn't be questioned. Banking off of others doesn't give you a racism-free card.

Justin Timberlake doesn't have a country song yet Travis never felt the need to discuss a pop/r&b artists (same genre Beyonce sings) being at the CMAs at any time in the past. She didn't perform solo, she performed with one of the most successful country bands of all time - like all the other artists I mentioned above. He may not have mentioned race, but there's some lowkey racism in being upset over a black woman who doesn't predominately sing country music and not showing that anger towards anyone else over the years who all happen to be white. The CMAs and country music have a long history of racism you should probably read up on to understand why this was possibly racist. To ignore country music's racism is as ignorant as saying you don't see race. Also, plenty of white pop artists have performed at the BET awards. While there may not have outright country artists, BET has always been welcoming of different races and genres and artists that fuse genres. Many black artists recognized in the past have worked with country artists or have put out country music. The need for that awards show comes from a history of black artists not being treated fairly, not having proper representation or even recognized on other awards shows - which is something that has only started to change is recent years. If the current progressiveness in music continues to happen there may not need to be a BET awards a decade from now - but that'll never happen if there's not proper representation doesn't exists. The Grammy board itself consists of mostly Jim Crow era white men, several of who have direct links to the KKK and other anti-non-white hate groups. Also x2 CMT completely removed any trace of Beyonce on their site even though she had one of the most praised performances and (allegedly, can't confirm) more people watched her performances live than any other... why do that with her but no other artists in the past, ever??
