A music professor at Hunter College in New York is claiming that the lyrics to Jason Aldean’s hit single “Try That in a Small Town” promote “anti-blackness,” sidestepping the fact that they make no references to race or skin color.

Philip Ewell, a professor of music theory at Hunter College, argued Aldean’s lyrics are chock full of anti-blackness in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“Anybody really should understand that there’s a strong racial undertone to these lyrics,” he said. “Race is part of the lyrics. I think that’s pretty clear.”
