Lithium Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) He didn't use it in an offensive way, and it wasn't in the charts, just like Patti Smith Group's "Rock 'N' Roll n'igger" in '78, I believe it was.

Zion Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Does Marilyn Manson use it in a offensive way on "Irresponsible Hate Anthem"?I could be wrong but I never heard him get criticized for using that word in that song.Maybe they were too busy blaming him on school shootings to notice.

SunnyDRE Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Why is this even a topic. To me it just goes to show that racism is alive in well.....we are shocked, outraded, and sometimes agree. Yet we continue to feed it more food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Yeah? So what? Patti Smith had a song called Rock N' Roll N-i-g-g-e-r in the 70s in which she screamed "JESUS CHRIST WAS A N-I-G-G-E-R!" in the goddamn middle of it.

Chris Axl Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 I didn't call him a racist. I just find it weird that some people didn't made a bigger deal out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrrulz Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) It wasn't a big deal because he was singing in support of a black person. Also the line goes "all the black folks said he was just a crazy black person". He didn't just call the guy that for no reason. In context it makes perfect sense but like anything you can just pick stuff out and make it a big deal.edit: didnt realize it would change the lyric to black person when I typed that.
