Do any African Americans find the song "Read a Book" by Music and Lyri!


Question:

Do any African Americans find the song "Read a Book" by Music and Lyrics offensive?

I watched the video premiere on 106&Park Friday. Many people say that it is offensive and being an African American myself it was unnecessary. However, maybe this song can get the point across. Maybe their tactic was stooping down to the level at which we already lower ourselves to by watching these degrading, meaningless and superficial songs/videos. If we can listen to Lil' John scream "Yeah" and "Okay" all the time than maybe not only African Americans but all ethnicities can listen to them tell us to "READ A BOOK!"

If you haven't heard it.......here's the website.......

Answers:

I didn't get offended. I saw it as a positive message while appealing to the masses.
EDIT: Looks like someone wasn't too kind to my comedic approach. Honestly, I don't think the song shouldn't be taken that seriously. I think it was rather mocking the current state of rap, and NOT trying to be a Hip-Hop Sesame Street. It would take a LOT more than a simplistic song to motivate some of these kids to read anyway. So just take it for what it is. If you like it, cool. If you don't, cool. Don't blow it out of proportion though.
