I do not care for the song, and damn sure do not care for the visuals. That said, I'll be a damn hypocrite if I said hip hop do not have countless "try that shyt in my hood" type songs and songs, plus videos showing imagery of whites doing acts of violence. And we be quick to say it's an exercise of our 1st Amendment rights.

It's a ignorant propaganda song, but the message of community policing is universal, because I damn sure advocate you try some dumb shyt around my hood and fucck around and find out.

they were going to defend it anyway... these are the same people who call themselves Christians, but bombed Black churches and killed pastors and other high ranking members of the Church...
"It is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is 11 o’clock on Sunday morning" MLK jr. :wow:

They don't see us as on par with them, so why would religion be any different? Justify it as we practice a lesser version of it or something.

There is nothing explicitly racist about the song is what.

And again, I understand implication (dog whistles) , nuance and overall peckerwood tactics so I’m not saying he isn’t trying to be slick, but it’s a flimsy argument and easy to flip on it’s head.

And the only thing that has come of it so far is making the song a hit and a spotlight being put on genocide rap.

if a racist makes a song its a racist song breh

no need to be obtuse to be deep
