Sometimes in the very worst of times, we see the best in others. And after a weekend of violent protesting all over our already broken country, country artists have started pouring their hearts out on social media. Not just with emojis and hashtags, but with lengthy posts about their genuine emotions about everything that’s happening. While no one seems to have all the answers, it’s comforting to know that no matter who you are — regardless of your race, religion, politics or profession — we are all searching for the right thing to do. As Kelsea Ballerini wrote, “Saying nothing does nothing.” And Brandi Carlile echoed that sentiment with, “Silence is violence.”

We will never see peace in this world until we ALL see each other as PEOPLE. We will never understand each other when you have people on 2 different sides. We have to become 1 to be at peace ☮️ ❤️

It’s just time that we understand that
Your child feels and loves
My children feel and love
All children feel and love

I’m just a man who loves his family.
And wants this world, this country, this life to be experienced to the best of any child’s imagination and ability.

As parents, it breaks our hearts knowing our children are living in a world where this level of hate exists, but we will raise them to lead with love, respect, compassion and a serving heart. We pray for peace and the wisdom to do just that. https://t.co/HHi5GftawU

The worst part about the criminals who were looting/burning/defacing Nashville last night, is that it TOTALLY shifts focus to THEM instead of the murder of #GeorgeFloyd It dishonors the memory of Mr Floyd and only serves to make the divide in our country that much deeper.

I’m with Keedron and Killer Mike. I’m just 1 man born with almost every advantage, my son will have even more, but i spend every morning praying over him that his world will be one far more equitable than this one. Love to all, one God, one love, one family.
