Subject: RE: Offensive lyrics- edit?
Interesting refresh. I missed this one first time around.
The original poster seems to think it's ok to replace 'niggers' with 'sinners'.
It may retain the scansion, but it completely changes the meaning, unless he thinks the two terms are interchangeable.
I think the revision may be more non-PC than the original for that reason.
