SunnyDRE Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 the people who think black person is a bad word or offends a whole group of people are the real racistsidiotic train of thought. "black person" IS a bad word and IT IS offensive. I wouldn't want my kids using it ever.Great song. Those offended are obviously close-minded and don't understand the context.I disagree. I think those are offended are the enlightened ones and those who think it was fine are the close-minded ones, and I do understand the context, still doesn't make the song ok.

Are you kidding me?!?Just because Axl use those words, and you took them out of context from the actual meaning of the song doesn't make you "enlightened".

Eddie Money Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Look at all of these uptight white people. That first white guy who stands up from the audience and makes a comment looks like he could be an actor in an 80's John Hughes movie.

But yet Axl came on here and called some members of this forum every foul name you can ever call a person and that was ok. ......Interesting.

Don't put words in my mouth.What I'm saying is people like you who become over-offend by the N-word, no matter what context it's used in, are contributing to racism. Maybe involuntary, but it's just how the world works. Like people who celebrated the deaths of Kim-Jong and Osama. They contribute to hatred, even if they think it's good.

Sprite Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Look at how mygnrforum edits the word nigg.er. If you even type it, it edits it as 'black person'Waita fuel the controversy......There is a difference between a nig.ger and a black person.Just like there is a difference between white trash and a white person.I wonder if sunny dre would have been offended if instead of police, immagrants, fags and nig.gers, axl called out rich people, republicans, eyeglass wearers, etc...

Sprite Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) It's not my favorite song, but I do enjoy it when people get upset because of the lyrics.I get more annoyed by Religious Rights than I do about race relations. It would be cool if Axl wrote a song dissing fundamentalist Christians, Muslims or some other cult. I bet he would get more flack for that than OIAM.The more you listen to Axl's lyrics, read/listen to interviews, the more i begin to think he is:A. LibertarianB. Agnostic, atheist, or at least a big criticizer of organized religion.For example-Garden of Eden- "The most organized religions make a mockery of humanity, our governments are dangerous and out of control."Axl rant before live and let die- "This is a song for anything that holds you back, (Goes on to list several things including the church and big government)"Axl in an interview from '88- "Where you trying to escape the conservative indiana?" Axl- "Well to some extent, but I consider myself to be pretty conservative"Axl seems like he'd be very libertarian, pro individual rights, limited government, etc... And most libertarians have a very common sensed, realistic view on the world, which usually translates to not liking organized religion..

Liberal means freedom, while todays liberals like sunnydre are all about taking rights from people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually see that as the right wing-nut conservative,Bible-thumping,redneck ignoramus that take Pat Robertson seriously,or support what Fred Phelps cult-church does.Organized religion is actually straight-up "the opiate of the masses" using brainwashing,and fear to control.Scientology,and Mormons are a freak show as well,No Jim Jones Koolaid for me,no selling flowers at the airport.
