I’m not a fan of rap. The song below, “Fake Woke” by Tom MacDonald, doesn’t do it for me. Nevertheless it interests me because of who it offends and why.

For example:

Number 1 on iTunes, 2 Million Views on YouTube: Mixed Message Right Wing “Fake Woke” Indie White Rap by Canadian Living in Los Angeles

“Fake Woke” is dangerously stupid. But it’s a sign of what’s lurking in plain sight. I’m assuming there will be no radio play, even if to make fun of it. That’s how you normalize.

Reeeeaaalllly.

That link includes the full lyrics. See what’s there to be offended by, to disagree with, to declare “stupid.”
