Is it a matter of hateful shit or ignorant shit?

For example, do you view an ignorant white kid that uses the N word around his friends (white and black) the same way as you view a white kid that actually use the N word towards black people the same?

And there is something to be said for allowing people to grow up and forgiving a mistake they made and just so happened to record when they were 19.

I feel you're intelligent enough to understand how this works. Maybe all you need is to hear Tribe denounce that song and admit to the ignorance and hatefulness. If that happened, would you then be able to enjoy the rest of their catalogue?

I'm pretty sure somewhere in your past you have said and done some hateful shit. Should we all hold you to it now?

And please don't take this as defending the song...just adding another view point because I feel not putting something in context can be harmful.
