I had decided that I was going to listen to the top songs and I got to number four and I am worried for the people who listen to music like this. It is nominated for a Grammy. That changed my entire view of the Grammys. I don’t know if I can even watch them. I would never approve of that kind of downgrading hate speech, let alone nominate it for an award. I am saddened and shocked.
My husband said it was probably just an age thing and I didn’t grow up where he did. So I had him listen. He then said, “Sorry, it is not an age thing. It is just wrong, even for me who probably mean and racist.”

I won’t watch a production that I consider to be racists, but there are a few that I see no racism in that some other people do. I guess that I don’t have enough of a racist mentality to deem that everything is about race.
I think we all have the right to agree to disagree.
