There is an
old proverb that says “There is no shame in not knowing, the shame lies in not
finding out”. I happened to hear the “Accidental Racist” song by Brad Paisley
and LL Cool J and after hearing LL’s lyrics I must say that they obviously
don’t really know and SERIOUSLY need to find out. Not only is the song
misguided, it’s really BAD (not like LL Cool J “Bad” but diarrhea on a ferris wheel bad).
In a horrid attempt at showing a conversation between a southern
white man and a Black “yankee” on race relations through song, LL drops the
damn ball with lyrics like "You don't judge my gold
chains/I'll forget the iron chains," and “RIP Robert E. Lee”. SAY WHAT???
Brad Paisley wants to be able to rock his Confederate flag without being
labeled as a racist. Good luck buddy, considering the sordid history of the
Confederacy/American Slavery and the KKK
which all have the same “DNA”. Go listen
to it for yourself, but be warned that you’ll never get those 6 minutes back.
