Music just has become less subtle. If you look back at the 50's, songs could be deemed really racist, even hateful, but they did it in a subtle way. The really sad thing is that in those days these opinions were more accepted. In the past I believe we were MORE oppressed and racist, we just had larger groups with the same ideas. All the big names, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Sinatra, Bing Crosby, could all be seen as quite offensive in their days, they just hid it better.
Today you have this open culture where people have all forms of expression (yeah, a lot of them bad, but at least they have the right to express it, isn't that what we fought for?).
Maybe I'm provoking people on here (I dunno let's see what happens) but have you people seriously read the bible? It's got some pretty offensive stuff in it, in my opinion
Slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11), child abuse (Judges 11:29-40 and Isaiah 13:16), and bashing babies against rocks (Hosea 13:16 & Psalms 137:9).
Seems worse than what we're hearing on most songs these days.
