Johnny Cash vs. the Klan | Georgia Straight Vancouver's News & Entertainment Weekly: So it wasn’t much of a surprise when footage of the far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12 showed one cretin ignorant enough to show up wearing a Johnny Cash T-shirt. He’d likely assumed that Cash, an Arkansas-born country-music star whose career began back in the days of segregation, represented some sort of kindred spirit.
But if that’s what he was thinking (and he almost certainly was—racists are notoriously fussy about rally wear), he was wrong. Holy shit, was he wrong.
An August 16 Facebook post, written by Cash’s children to call out this distorted human, was among the most forceful condemnations of the horrors in Charlottesville, at a time when the U.S. president was fine with dismissing it all as a regrettable scuffle between law-abiding history buffs and the “alt-left” thug-elites who hate them.
