We might be only saying respect the dead because in this case it's someone we respect. If Bill O'Reilly died and someone said they spit on that racist's grave we would probably have no problem with it because of our relationship with the deceased. I think SoWhat's relationship to Tribe is worth exploring because here's the thing, are we ok with ignoring the hurt of our brother (SoWhat) in order to embrace the musical legacy of the source of that hurt? He has every right to be pissed at hateful language when he's the target of it. There are layers here that I think are worth discussing.
