The song could have had some merit had the LL Cool J part of the song also apologized for the black murder rate that’s 8 times the white rate, for the wild mobs that take over Daytona, Miami, the Zoo on free day, the utterly lawless areas of Philly, Detroit, and Chicago,,etc.
There are two sides to the coin. If someone is willing to own the accept the racism that does exist in some corners of the white community, i also look for others to accept that the black community should accept responsibility for it’s recent descent into sickening levels of feral behavior.
There are areas of many cities where my life would be in severe and immediate danger, if i were i foolish enough to enter. I know of no such counterparts for black Americans.
With all due respect, LL Cool J cannot apologize for the actions of others, neither can Brad Paisley.
If people are ever going to come together, then some things are going to need to be laid to rest in the past where they belong.
