That is a reflection on the stupid ass people who presented it. Not the song. Am I attached to the song? Kind of. I mean it never occurred to me that it was racist. There have even been a couple of times at games where I have gotten choked up when it is sung because it causes me to reflect on my experience at the University. That's what it means to me. This is what the players are missing about this issue. I have no frame of reference to the presentation that they are complaining about. Neither do 95% of the people hearing all this crap for the first time. They are essentially taking something that up to yesterday meant something special to some people and are telling them that it is racist and further you are racist if you aren't willing to disavow it.
I believe that there is institutional racism. I believe that I have benefited from being white. I also believe that it is all of our responsibility to overcome these things. But, I just think issues like this do more damage to bringing the rest of society along. Ignorant people have presented the Bible in a racist way. The list is endless.
