Remember the correct response to being called racist: “I don’t care...”

This matches the lyrics to his first "White Privilege" song. He asked: "Where's my place in a music that's been taken by my race? Culturally appropriated by the white face? He added: "we still owe 'em 40 acres / now we've stolen their 16 bars."

If this is how he feels, why does he continue to rap? Shouldn't he quit the business and form a rock band? Oh wait, rock was appropriated too, so then he should forget rap and rock and compose some chamber music.

Looks like a case of “Liberal Tithing” of “Liberal Offering”. Ben makes this song or says some kind of off the wall statement, then cashes in from the some other stuff, guilt free.

He's doing the liberal version of purchasing indulgences. He makes the "black music" and then publicly expresses his guilt in doing so.

I'll agree Macklemore's income is all out of proportion to his talent.

I guess that qualifies was some sort of unearned privilege.

The fool is a flipping moron.

Worse. Stepin Fetchit did stock parodies of black manners as comedy, for a living. Blacks hated him for it. In A Soldier's Story, extreme violence, even beyond murder, is the lot of a Stepin Fetchit character at the hands of a senior black sergeant played by the late Adolph Caesar.

This guy makes Stepin Fetchit look like Red Skelton, whose comedy Stepin Fetchit's resembled. This new guy, on the other hand, is neither of them. He's Al Sharpton's Ideal White Man, walking down a dark alley throwing tens and twenties around and saying, "Please kill me, take my money."

It's morbid, as well as black-racist. It's Obama's wet dream.

parents find him "safe enough for the kids," when they would never find a black rapper to make "safe" music.

What was last year's murder rate in South Central Los Angeles? Palos Verdes Hills? There's your answer, punk.
