| I find it difficult to imagine anybody thinking the song is racist even if "got" were emphasized over "taught". The rest of the lyrics are very clear. "taught to hate and fear" etc. How can that be anything but a condemnation. In fact it might even be more interesting to actually emphasize "got" because then it would be more ironic, even though the message is the same. But judging from your class, perhaps recognizing irony is a lost art. |
