I wish this was the Eric Church that showed up last night at the Capitol Street Party....but it's not even close. His songs were ruined by overwhelming heavy metal sounds and an absolute evil look. From the cult like symbols to the lighting that made the band mates look demonic really ruined things for me. It was like he sold the soul of his music to the devil...literally. I was really disappointed.

dose any body sing any thing good its always about trouble noting good

You’re right, this has no racial connotation.

The world we live in now is no more strange than that of the emerging drug culture of the early 1970s. Many of us have not made ourselves aware of it. For instance: neck tattoos and low-riding pants are from the jail culture; snow [or white] in the song is not the cold white stuff, it is cocaine. Also there is a White Supremacy movement in the jails evolving over the last 20 years or so that is nurturing racial violence.

Obviously the writer, and performer, of “Homeboy” is fully cognizant of all of this [and likely lots more], wanting to keep his relative, his brother, out of it. Young people who are being naturally rebellious are being caught up in the “street” and progressively turned into monsters; and we are letting it happen.

I'm Black. I've always loved Eric Church's music. People really need to listen to some of his old stuff and then see what kind of human being he is. He's got a heart of gold. There's nothing wrong with this song and I never thought that he was singing about a Black kid. He's talking about a White kid that's caught up in the drug ( homeboy ) culture that doesn't know WTF he's doing.

There's nothing wrong with this song and even if he was talking about a Black Kid,.. so what. People need to stop trying to be so damn politically correct and start reaching out to this kids with tough love. Truth be told, there a lot a lot of Black, White, Hispanic and Asian kids that fit the description of a homeboy today. It take a tremendous amount of courage to be brutally honest with your music today and risk reprisal from a mindless society that's program to worship that American Idol crap today. People hate the truth about themselves today.

Truth today, is a stranger in a world of fiction.

Dear Kendrick and Mr Watkins, I so appeciate you... it is true. Don't matter what color you are...there are more southern-style black folk then alot of white folk I know... I'd rather spend a holiday and or a Sunday and enjoy good food with the "real" southern folk, and I am very southern. . Never seen snow... :) but I love family and friendship and a 'thank you ma'am, yessir, and God bless you, not to mention good soul and good food. And hard workin folk. So thanks....

LISTEN to the lyrics. There is no stereotyping here, only a love song from a man to his brother to return to their family before it’s too late: before their parents are “called”.

If you view the records of prison inmates you will see that the penchant for neck tatts and low-slung pants flows through all shades from stark white to the deepest of color. The term “boy” does not refer here to the racial pejorative, but is the down home term for a beloved person, in this case a family member, no matter what their color.

Stop reading anything into Mr. Church’s song beyond its reality: s plea for a young person starting down the slippery slope of drugs and crime to return to their home and family. This is a heartbreaking reality that millions of families, all through the color spectrum of our country, are being forced to face.

I like that song' "HOMEBOY", and I' black. I think Mr. Church did a wonderful job with the lyrics. After listening to his album on aol, I would buy his music. We as black folks or even some whites need to stop being closed minded about how people may feel. We can relate to each other no matter what color we are. We ALL still feel things. Music is about feelings and or thoughts. Country music has now taken the lead on relating that. Hip hop music has lost it's way by glorifying money, clothes amd cars. Just look at the videos that are being made by hip hop artist. Only a few hip hop artist still make music about what is right in life. Thanks to all music artist that still convey the human spirit in you music. Keep telling the story of American life.

I am a black man and to me he is saying the same thing that a lot of black fathers and mothers are saying to their family members. If he was blaming rap music then he should have made the song a long time of go because now rap music is very substance based and more inclined to be going in a either positive or party type music. The era of so called gangsta rap has faded out and the music is more about music. I like the song and I don't really think a lot of blacks would even pay it attention or they may say it is what it is. Its a cool song because of the point he is trying to make and like I said earlier, blacks have been saying the same thing. We are more of the same we realize. Peace

If you don't want to be stereotyped. perhaps it would be best to not act, dress, and talk like the stereotype images you don't want to be equated with.
