Exactly. So today, in 2022, are there any mainstream white artists who would dare to use the n-word in any context whatsoever in their music? I think the answer is nope, none. Why? And why do we have a straight artist deliberately using the f-word repeatedly in his song? What is the difference? The irony is that he works towards the same point at the end of the song, and yet choses not to take the advice anyway. To me that sounds like a deliberate provocation. It's saying, yeah people might be offended but I don't care. Which only a dickhead would do. :/
