'The Voice' Alum Taking Heat for Saying There's No Racism in the Country Music Industry

This individual compared RaeLynn's comments to those of a man downplaying sexism. Interestingly enough, RaeLynn did acknowledge that sexism plays a role in the country music industry, but didn't offer that same insight in regards to racism.

"Shocking that this kind of a stance comes from someone who performed at the same conference that K*le R*ttenhouse spoke at last month," one Twitter user wrote. "Country music just keeps on embarrassing itself."
