has been living here for at least 50 years and I doubt he’ll ever go back to Canada. His kids are here (his son who is severely disabled,) plus his daughter and grandchildren are here.

You are upset by his song calling out racism and lynching from Southern History? You DO realize it happened, don't you? He has spoken out that he wasn't referring to present history nor suggesting nothing has changed...

"Southern Man"

Southern man, better keep your head.
Don't forget what your good book said.
Southern change gonna come at last.
Now your crosses are burning fast.

Southern man.

I saw cotton and I saw black.
Tall white mansions and little shacks.
Southern man, when will you pay them back?

I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking.
How long? How long?

Southern man, better keep your head.

Southern man.

Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown.
I've seen your black man comin' round.
Swear by God, I'm gonna cut him down!
