"Let Her Cry" singer and former Hootie & The Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker said that the "stigma" of "racism" in country music is "changing drastically."
In an op-ed published in The Tennessean, the musician recalled being a kid and having a strong admiration for Charley Pride, particularly being excited about seeing him on the country music variety show "Hee Haw."
"It was a great thing for me," Rucker gushed. "I was just a little kid and I was getting flak from my family for the music I listened to. Here was somebody that looked like me singing country music – that wasn't supposed to be."
