    It's pretty funny that the expectation on any man who picks up a guitar these days is not that he has a decent voice to go with, it's that his political ideology is "correct" and cohesive and that he makes sure to convey the entire thing in a 4 minute song.

    The people getting their knickers in twist over this song are lost.

        Why is it always race? I understand the welfare queen myth, but nothing about that song made me reflect on skin color.

        Maybe it's just you.

          The "welfare queen" myth was always a racist dogwhistle from the jump. This is well documented. The "you're the real racist for noticing racism" bullshit isnt going to fly here.

          it's the US, it's safe to assume a thing about it is racist without even checking, because the US rests on a foundation of racism and it has seeped into every aspect of it.

          but this one's racist even if you do research it.

                    He's literally singing about being part of a downtrodden underclass, but you and your juvenile half-formed political ideology make it all seem so simple. White skin = oppressor, right?

                      He's literally stealing valor to pander to poor people, and a specific subset given the "welfare queen" rhetoric.

                          Why are these people so extreme?! All i did was expose my rascism. Can't a white man just talk about hating people and be respected as superior to those he hates anymore!

                          insane

                          You apparently believe anyone who disagrees with you is mentally ill which by your presented context means they are loathsome and deserving of hatred because you don't like them and like to call people you don't like insane.

                          In other words, you're an ableist hateful piece of shit. Get flushed.

          So you admit that kpop is fantastic music then, since kpop is wildly internationally successful.

      It's pretty funny

      This isn't Reddit and saying "it's funny" doesn't hide your rage against people that weren't born as comfortable as you were.

      I don't think that's what this is about. I don't have that kind of expectation of musicians. But if a musician chooses to sing about being a chud i think they should get dunked on

          Sorry, I'm used to people familiar with our lingo. But, a guy who's angry about "welfare queens" is a pretty good example. Fascists, conservatives, rascists, xenophobes, right-wingers, homophobes, frothingfash etc. are chuds. If any comrades have a better definition I'll defer to that, but this is how I'd describe it off the top of my head
