No, you're not wrong about that. I agree with you on the audience thing. I just wasn't sure *which* audience, if you meant immigrants or not,or if you meant it in a general sense. Thanks for the clarification that you meant people in a calypso tent or concert hall. I would think at least a significant percentage of people of a single nationality in a single room would be old enough to understand deeply- some even *remember* what the song is talking about, as well as hearing the word "Negro", and in the case of Black Trinidadians, using it to describe themselves. This is not saying that it believe intent is all that matters, or that you can't hurt people if you have good intentions. Just that I believe a lot of people, on hearing those words, would understand what it was referring to and in what context the word was being used. I would probably still use an introduction though.
