Michael, you appear to be reading the words people write without appreciating the content, whether it comes to your own words (the lyric) or the responses you've received.

No-one here has suggested that 'racist' is a word you shouldn't use in a song. I've got songs that include that word. My songs, however, don't seek to diminish the importance of racism, they don't mock its victims.

Individual words have little meaning in isolation. It's the sentences they're in and the meaning, be it intentional or unwitting, that matters - not the individual words.

As Brian Austin Whitney has already commented: "Only someone with no concept of the perils faced by REAL victims of racism would write something so ill conceived."

He was taking a charitable view, though, because the other sort of person who'd write something so ill-conceived would be someone who's fully aware of its impact but simply doesn't care.

Like I said in a previous post, the gigs where you'd get most laughs for the humour of this lyric would be during the evening entertainment at KKK conventions and suchlike. If that's your chosen peer group, then I have to congratulate you on the lyric. In those terms, it's absolutely excellent and, for that market, it's a number one hit.
