I don't see why being sarcastic about it is warranted. I feel like being dismissive of the song's reach is a bad thing: it means we are underestimating our adversaries.

I wouldn't say "oh, only a few people are doing that" if Nazi flyers started appearing in my town, for example.

buddy i live in the south I see confederate flags all the time, there is an active kkk group in my community, jewish kids were getting beat up last year in my last place. we are and have always been in a white supremacist country. white supremacy is the standard. what is so new and controversial about this song. you didnt even recognize try that in a small town a far more racist seemingly pro-lynching song with far more views. your hyperfixation on this song is bizzare (im referencing your previous comments). its dog whistles are about welfare queens. Its only been taboo among conservative politicians to openly complain about welfare queen for the past few years or so. this song is nothing. it is a racist drop in the racist ocean. stop. there is an ABUNDENCE of mainstream music with leftist themes, I would say art in general is left leaning. we dont need more leftist art there is an over saturation of it. we need action, people real communities are gonna shape their world view more than a hit song. fr

This is a very rude response. I did recognize the other song, and asked a clarifying question. Not respecting people who communicate in different ways is kind of ableist.

I recognize and agree that it is a drop in the ocean, but that itself is indicative of how big the issue is and that we should be taking the problem seriously.
