"...but one thing it is NOT is racist."

PoppaGator, you forgot to add "in my opinion." In your opinion the song isn't racist. In my opinion, it is. It doesn't matter what nation you or I hail from, whether your or my politics are liberal or conservative, or what your or my race is, as none of those things have anything to do with the different ways we perceive this song.

There is no problem with you saying you don't perceive the song as racist. There is a problem with you stating as fact that the song isn't racist, because you say so. That is bullshit.
