If your opinion is "sure, why not?" then you are being consistent and you don't mind that black people would seriously be offended.
If your opinion is "Woah, that's over the line"... then where DO you draw the line? Offending blacks is bad, offending gays... well, that's okay.
And if you are going to argue intent of the artist, that becomes a very murky area. I would agree with you if everyone tried to understand what is being said... but how many people actually LISTEN to the lyrics of songs to understand the artists intent? |
I don't see how intent is a "murky area." You're either trying to be hateful or you're not.
