I don't like country music. But I worked in a friend's bar (the neighborhood bar) for years where they played goat roping music. Cowboy hats and pointy toed boots, the uniform. (Not for my biker ass though). The place was actually a converted riding arena. There were horses and stables. They even played Dolly's stuff from.time to time. And black people frequented and were quite welcome there. Not surprising at all. My friend and his wife owned the place. He's black. She's white. In all my years there - I saw exactly one guy say something really racist. He was banned for life in minutes....
