Country singer Thomas Rhett and wife Lauren Akins, who are parents to a black daughter, are speaking out against racism

Lauren Akins and Thomas Rhett attends the 52nd annual CMA Awards at the Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 14, 2018 in Nashville, Tenn. and wife Lauren Akins, who are parents to a black daughter, are speaking out against racism following the murder of George Floyd.

"I have no clue what it feels like to be profiled by authorities, treated negatively or have my life threatened because of the color of my skin," he said."When I witnessed the horrific murder of George and think about the mistreatment of other black men and women in America, I am heartbroken and angry."

"I get scared when I think about my daughters and what kind of world they will be growing up in and how my JOB as a father is to show them how to lead with love in the face of hate. To know their worth and value as not only women but human beings," Rhett said. "What can we do?" he wrote."I ask myself this question everyday. We each have to be part of the solution and we have to continue to educate ourselves, continue to support both financially and with service those organizations doing good work in our communities to overcome injustice and hatred in our country. And if you’re like me, continue to pray."

This is how it's done. Arts industry can exercise joint power, unity and solidarity by denying govt tax revenue.
