Free' made a good point in here about people being up in arms because Lil Nas X is black (and gay, but mostly black). And Oph' further reinforced this by saying that black people "don't play with that devil shit".
Gagz for example did this shit years ago with Alejandro, Judas, etc (albeit a bit more tasteful...) but honestly no one really gave a fuck. Madonna, those white rockers, the list goes on.... it's been happening.
Granted his video amplifies the recipe a bit, but I'm not really understanding the hoopla.
It almost feels like it's one of those instances where black people say 'You're black, you shouldn't be doing x'.
