I agree with the second portion (it's not 'racist' under any reasonable definition) completely.

I do think it's more broad than your interpretation - Bush is an example of lies from whites/the white establishment - but all's fair otherwise.

Of course I'm not sure I understood. However, it was clearly beyond giving your interpretation of the song.

^ I agree with the above as well. The point in saying what I did was to show one reason why I don't think its racist.

^ how so?

The 2nd comment about Will.I.Am and Oprah was basically an example of two celebs who have used their celeb status to impact politics recently (probably could've given one from each side but I didnt think it necessary). I completely understand being against that because they're not experts they're just regular people who have undue influence.
