Is '***** stole my bike' racist?

we're all racists. whether we like it or not. it's influenced and embedded into our minds from the day we're born until we swoon.

IMO, considering it racism is being overly sensitive.

i concur. OP - one could probably say that the term is used in an overwhelming percentage of rap music. i'm not offended personally, and when i'm listening to Cypress Hill for example, i don't self-bleep myself when that term comes along in the lyrics. i would never use it in conversation, and wince when other people do - but let's face it - it's part of that musical genre.

If taken the right context, I don't think it's racist. It's the kind of racial comedy that is dumb and tongue-in-cheek.

If this is racist, Chappelle's show is more racist 😛
