Ron-
I'm sorry that the young African-American was made uncomfortable by the song. I'm sure that many folks--including myself--were made uncomfortable by the its being censored.

My point is that people who get offended by things that aren't offensive have problems that are best dealt with by education and explanation, not by censorship. Go back and think about the two examples I quoted above; Should "Groundhog" be similarly removed from the repetoire? Should "niggardly" be removed from the language?
