The offensive story of Johnny Rebel

12:26 isn't him

Johnny rebel is on spotify now 😂

Thanks for this! I was unfamiliar with his earlier, pre-racist songs, that were actually good, it seems. In 2003, there was another album called "It's The Attitude, Stupid", allegedly also by him. It's just as racist, but with more contemporary topics…

How much gore did this dude go through to get this info 😭🙏

JR and his slide guitar players are so amazing.

Surprised YouTube even let you post this video 😂

What I find fascinating about JR's songs is how catchy they are, how well constructed and performed they are and how the sweet country twangs of the slide guitars sit so jarringly against the jaw droppingly casually monstrous lyrics. Being born in the late 70s, I can remember a world where this kind of 'battle-of-the-races' was frequently used as a plot point for sit coms (Love thy Neighbour) or by stand-ups (Jim davidson) but was presented in a half-serious way, so it could be shrugged off as a 'joke' if there were real-world consequences. JR doesn't have that defence, and to a life-long anti-racist, his overt and undeniably prejudiced lyrics presented in an unapologetic manner offend me less than an edgy, world-famous and deeply liberal white comedian making a joke about minorities (Jimmy Carr) but then shrugging and pulling a face after the punchline, as if to give a knowing wink to the middle-class, mainly white audience. When Jimmy Carr said that the gypsies killed by the Nazis in WW2 represented a 'good' version of the holocaust, and then got hurt at the inevitable backlash, we're expected to feel sorry for him and see him as a human. Nobody expects or ever would expect that same standard to be applied to JR, so it's far less complicated.

I think that racist people don't particularly understand what's wrong with themselves: for example. my grandma was a terrible racist, she couldn't stand black people, she literally felt disgusted every time she saw a black man; and when she saw a black man on TV she would just say things like "how can these people be so ugly?"
Nevermind my grandma, she's dead now thankfully! But my parents aren't! They're still alive. They are the one who took me to my grandma and forced me to listen to her racist rants. I don't have kids, but if one of my relatives would talk in the way my grandma did, I would take the kids elsewhere.

Some good songs same way Ice Cube and Dead Prez have some good songs.

👌

You can't say N1gg3r Hatin' Me wasn't a great footstomper. He made some great music.

This channel blew my mind and continues to do so.

Family values 😂😂

You can call him a "racist" but you can't call him a liar.

RIP Pee Wee.
