Rock the Country, a music festival critics have labelled a “MAGA fest”, has been cancelled in Anderson, South Carolina, following a series of artist withdrawals.

The Anderson County stop, originally scheduled for July 25 and 26, will no longer take place, as confirmed by county administrator Rusty Burns.

Rock band Shinedown announced their exit, stating their decision was to avoid creating “further division” and to uphold their purpose of uniting people through music.

Rapper Ludacris also dropped off the bill, with his representative indicating a 'mix-up' regarding his initial inclusion.

Why is it okay for people on the left to generalize like this but not for those on the right?

How are you any different than someone saying "well they are black, so you know what that means..."?

And look at all your upvotes, how popular it is to treat people like this. How is this a good thing to make assumptions about people we've never met?

I don't think becoming more antisocial is helping anyone.

To counter your reductio ad absurdum: Because you choose to live in Jacksonville. You don't choose to be black.

But otherwise you have a point. Judging individuals based solely on stereotypes is wrong. But in this case, this band ALSO says "I'm not political" and ALSO had signed up to play with Kid Rock. So...

I know some really wonderful people who are stuck in Jacksonville but don't fit the stereotype. But they also recognize that it's generally a racist shithole. So if anyone is from there, I'd say it's fair that they lose the benefit of the doubt.

You can't hold both views

No human chooses where they are born. Then for the next 18 years they have no choice either. After that it comes down to economics, career, relationships, and family connections. Many people stay within a few hours of their homes for a lot of life reasons.

Most people don't seriously consider the local politics when living somewhere.

If I move to a right leaning city in the South for a job I'm now racist? Absolutely ridiculous

The first point was only to counter your but about black people. The second point refines the first and addresses the rest of your post.

"I made the first point to counter your point. The second supports your point and counters my first point"

Multi track drifting

I'm not even the same user I just wanted to point out the absurdity
