Frankie Staton — a Nashville musician who’s worked to increase diversity and inclusiveness in country music — doesn’t think Morgan Wallen‘s really getting what he deserves … and it sounds a lot like what’s described as white privilege.
TMZ.com
Staton — who co-founded the Black Country Music Association in an effort to produce Black country stars — isn’t among folks willing to accept Wallen’s apology for using the n-word … at least not so readily.
She suggests Wallen’s situation is more of a societal issue, but the consequences he’s experiencing demonstrate the difference in a fallout between a popular white celeb … and someone else.

To prove her point, she mentions how Wallen’s popularity and sales are skyrocketing despite dropping a racial slur … so it seems his career won’t be adversely affected by his actions.
We asked if she thinks that’s fair — Frankie says “not really.” However, she says she doesn’t like seeing other musicians’ careers go down the drain because of a mistake … but as a Black woman, she underscores what Wallen said is unacceptable.
Frankie’s putting the pressure on Nashville to start holding people accountable for stuff like this in the future.
