New Brad Paisley song about race

He's getting a lot of grief for "Accidental Racist." I give him credit for trying to write a song that matters and that says something, and I really don't think he thought he would "solve" the issue in three minutes and change over four verses, and maybe a song like this should be clunky and not a foot-tapper, but...
he does seem to have brought black people and white people together in their united mockery of the song.

Here's the song

All country artists are racists. Except Hootie.

 

Accidentally.

 

The song -- and its sentiments -- don't sound racist per se. Just written from a point of view that exists in a lot of people. No big deal. A lot of artists do it.

I think what's far more offensive is a song featuring a Brad Paisley-LL Cool J duet.

 

Excuse me, are you Hootie?

 

You forgot Charlie Pride, you unpronounceable racist.

 

Hey, I'm batting .500.

 

Col. Sharecropper wonders what all the fuss is.

 

I read the lyrics yesterday. I think it would work better in the hands of Weird Al or Dr. Demento.

 

Cowboy Troy is going to put a boot in somebody's ass if he doesn't get name dropped here pretty soon.

 

Does he even sing?

 

Somewhere, Kool Moe Dee is laughing.
