i’m gonna listen to that now. it never fails to make me laugh.
the best is listening while reading the lyrics on youtube
somebody's gonna put out the "accidental racist" of this current situation, btw. people are very inspired right now.
i gotta say, as i listen to "accidental racist," i'm struck by paisley's sincerity. he was really trying hard, i have to say. he might be a really nice guy.
and then we get to "dear mr. white man..." and whew, this is a helluva ride.
and while we talk about ll forgiving the iron chains in exchange for a little respect for his gold chains, he also traded durags for confederate flags and...that's not really a fair trade, ll.
ll also poured out some liquor for robert e. lee. i should listen to this song twice a day to keep my spirits up.
it rhymed with "but abraham lincoln freed me."

"the relationship between the mason-dixon needs some fixin." WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT?
on the fourth time around with this. ll really wants this white man to like him. i mean *really*.
"i'd love to buy you a beer
conversate and clear the air
but i see that red flag
and i think you wish i wasn't here."
he was so vulnerable with it. whew.

know what "accidental racist" is missing, tho?
a gospel choir. there's a part where it would be PERFECT. label must've gone cheap on em.

"you should try to get to know me
i really wish you would."
yo. no no no.
i really wish you would."
yo. no no no.
not once in the song does brad paisley act like he wants to hang with the black dude at starbucks. he just doesn't want him to think he's a racist.
meanwhile, ll left all his dignity in 1991 and will do anything for the privilege of buying some dude a brew.

but again, notice paisley is really caught up in being misjudged because he's southern. he's acting like there's a north/south rap beef or something. https://twitter.com/magic_uno/status/1266865337150189568
let's listen to it one more time
at one point, paisley is singing and ll is doing adlibs. brad sings "i just wanna make things right" and that was a perfect time for ll to scream "REPARATIONS!"
ok, i'm done now.
sorry guys. thought you were all familiar with the song. i see i've blown some minds.
