  Again, read the entire song. It’s not exactly profound but if you aren’t cherry-picking it seems a lot more likely that they’re referring to the people who supported the colonization, slavery, and other violence mentioned earlier in the song. That’s why I mentioned the history since those were widespread real problems which still affect millions of people whereas the average white person has no credible reason to fear being mistreated.

    I'm white and not a racist at all (have multicultural family, think we're all capable humans but also think any race/religion can have its antisocial parasites amongst them) but do find that song more as stirring hate rather than coming from a place of grievance. The song is putting all whiteness and all history in one bucket and setting it on fire. That's no different than a white guy being mugged by a black guy and crying black is evil and pointing at the guy's color. This song doesn't help the black cause at all, the blacks in America have indeed been deprived and put down and am willing to put a hand and stop it What happened to the unifying message of love? Hate is divisive and never brought anything good to the table.

      I don’t disagree. It’s not a song I like but my point was just that I think it’s in the genre of “hurt people sometimes lash out” rather than a sincere call for genocide, and that it doesn’t pack the punch of being associated with decent ability to actually cause harm.
