Okay, I'll grant you that Kevin did write "pretty dodgy" in his next line to that post:

"What is pretty dodgy is to try to rewrite history as to pretend that our societies have not been degraded by the existence of racism. And continue to be in many ways."

-snip-

{and I'll also admit that I don't know what "dodgy" means, pretty or otherwise}.

But he did write "pretty". And that's not an adjective I'd use for this song, regardless of how nice its tune may be.

Of course, different strokes for different folks. I'm stating my position-and that is that this song is highly offensive.
