Her posting her cake on IG leads me to believe that this girl really didn't think that cake was offensive, which doesn't surprise me much because of her age. She grew up with the N word being all over the place due to hip hop culture, not from it being all over the place due to racism (as other people have lived through).

We could cut her (and her friends that made this cake and took the picture) some slack if she was 8 years old and didn't understand the difference. She is not 8. She is, however, egregiously stupid.

If a man had the equivalent regarding female anatomy on his cake, would you cluck and say "why do men want to demean themselves so?"
It's part of a song and no doubt a silly inside joke. To them it's like - if I would have had the cat from the Paula Abdul video on my cake. It doesn't mean I want to have sex with a cartoon cat.
