Since countering Aldean’s claim the video only contains “real news footage,” Destinee Stark has received a wave of hateful messages from defenders of the song.

    And in person death threats are just spoken words. They’re both dangerous and unacceptable.

      Threats are already illegal and words aren’t violence.

        The words themselves aren’t violent, but they contain threats of violence. I thought that much was inferable from the headline.

        By making this argument you appear to be supporting those who are sending the death threats. That’s not a good look. In every conflict in history between those who used racism as a reason to do things and those who oppose them, the racist people happened to be the bad guys. Probably not a good idea to align yourself with racists…
