Lox, I'm pretty sure Oprah doesn't collect the Nazi stuff, but the African American memorabilia, as in toys and art, she does.

It's offensive if you're offended. If you have to explain WHY and people still don't get it, maybe it's not so offensive. I'm willing to just accept that individuals are offended by the song. When people start telling me what to think and feel and try to make me feel guilty about not agreeing with them (without actually trying to explain WHY a think is racist), I get to be offended.
