Perpetrating racism through any medium is something that will always offend me. It really has no place in my life. It'll probably always be there, but I won't put any energy into passing it down the line by any means, especially when it's put in a spotlight cloaked as entertainment.

...and grow one.



Love the player, love the game, make fun of the people that do it wrong.
I didn't see anything in that to make me think Coe believes anything in those songs. It just sounds like you're a simple, unnuanced plebe who decides to be offended when you can't comprehend whether or not you actually should be. I don't even really find David Allen Coe particularly funny btw, I just think you're goofy.
