Common is far from ignorant. If he said beat up, murder, and/or discriminate against homosexuals, then he'd be ignorant. If he or another rapper says, "if the next fad was hip-hop fags/you'd see a lot of these thug niggas in drag/believe that," then they're expressing their opinion. they're not saying its cool to discriminate against gays, theyre saying i disagree with the gay lifestyle. Although we don't have a right to discriminate, we do have a right to disagree.
