Fat shaming, welfare queening, both sidsing, slack jawed backwater hick bullshit. I grew up around dipshits just like him. 1, they're hypocrites that live off the system and haven't been able to see their own cock without the assistance of a mirror in 15 years but because they're white it's ok. 2, Their "color blindness" and concern trolling falls away behind closed doors. It's empty platitudes and surface level enlightened centrist garbage and nothing more. He doesn't mean a word of what he's singing and the people that "resonate" with it don't either. It's just 4 minutes of dog-whistling and right wing propaganda.
Color blindness itself is basically a way to decouple yourself from the political economy you are a subject of, which is in no way "color blind" and has more or less created these system of classification. I don't even subscribe to DiAngelo's individualist notions of "white fragility," I think they can even serve to reify the notion of race, but people saying they're color blind is such a dismissal to address the world around you.
