Two songs out of a vast catalogue of music. He has made songs after that which did have pro racial messages. Song for the Year 2000 and the original version of his song Nothin to Lose. His second album also had very progressive racial messages. He has many friends who are African American. He sings songs by lots of African American writers. Hell he covers Purple Rain in a lot of his concerts. He was making albums for an audience, the biker crowd, where this humor was prevalent.

You know, Willie, Hank, Waylon and then this song from DAC came on. After listening to it, and just thought "Wow! This ignorant trash needs to be flushed!" Then after I got to my desk, I thought, "No, it's good that they are still playing it, because it led me here."<br /><br />Peace.Sean M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05396588885582605765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103861936871428259.post-21702460038957061322013-12-11T16:34:13.076-05:002013-12-11T16:34:13.076-05:00I'm white. I'm married to a hispanic woman...I'm white. I'm married to a hispanic woman. I don't consider myself racist, but that's easy to say when you've never been on the other end of the spectrum. There's a simple reason why White people in the states need to offer a little more room for Black Americans to express their racial views. The history of slavery, civil rights issues and all cruel and unspeakable things related to them are far from behind us.<br /><br />So, when people start saying things like, "well the black rappers have filthy mouths, and their messages are rampant with hatred and racial slurs toward whites," I have to raise my eyebrows in astonishment and ask them why they think that is? Certainly, any reasonable person would agree that Blacks in this country have a right to express a certain amount of backlash, in any way they see fit. We all love to cite the 'freedom of speech.' It's not always pretty is it? White artists have had plenty of opportunity to express themselves through the years, openly, honestly, and unfortunately at times—in very ugly ways.<br /><br />Black Americans still have a long way to go, with such a rough and unfair start in the not-too-distant past. We all need to help them get there, and in order to do so, we need to listen and offer our assistance. Maybe more of our Black neighbors need to hear an empathetic word or two from a White friend?<br /><br />So many Whites love to say, "well, that bigotry has nothing to do with me! I didn't say those things! Why should I live in fear?" I say, it's our turn to listen, take a few punches, and try to understand when the shoe is on the other foot. It's all part of the healing process. I hope Whites of today, my children included, will listen and learn from people who aren't afraid to express themselves, and be smart enough to filter those messages for the better of everyone. I am optimistic that we will get there—some day.Sean M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05396588885582605765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103861936871428259.post-31393191077847373352013-11-02T12:34:34.976-04:002013-11-02T12:34:34.976-04:00Ab6254 read this guy's original post where he ...Ab6254 read this guy's original post where he wants to smash DAC's head in.

No major would have touched these! That's why they're "underground records. Guy's like this love to stir up stuff and are usually knee jerk anti racist white feminist males.

I made my way ...This post is completely misguided. I made my way here because I was looking into whether David Allen Coe had anything constructive to say about some of his obviously racist songs and found your post on that. I think those songs are terrible, having never met him or heard much from him about the lyrics though, I will withhold judgement on the man.<br /><br />That said you are making a silly argument. The point is that there is no excuse for using such terms if you are going to go ahead and be offended by them when used by another person outside your "group". Just like DAC defending his songs by saying "rappers use that word all the time" is weak (they are also using a racist term, someone else's racism doesn't mean you are allowed to be) the argument "someone who is part of the offended group can say what they want" is weak. If you find a word hurtful then it is hurtful - don't use it. The case of people who are of a different than average mental capacity. By the way for someone so concerned with being politically correct, it seems to me that disabled is a bit of a condemning term. I know many people who would be labelled with "mentally disabled" who are perfectly mentally capable of living an independent life which doesn't seem disabled to me at all. This case though is because these individuals may not have the capacity to understand why it would be wrong to use hurtful terms, some will have that ability though and should be held to the same standard as everyone else.<br /><br />You mention a case that I think is a good example actually. Let's look at Riley Cooper. This is a man who probably hears the word that caused such a stir fifty times a day in the locker room he shares with his teammates. I bet that word flies around from mouths of every color and nobody cares in the locker room. At the very least I am certain that there must be some African American players who use the word around their teammates. So then - is Cooper part of this group that is allowed to say the word, or is he only part of that group in the locker room? Why should there be a double standard? He is on a team after all, and these guys should all trust one another - in fact many of his teammates had at least the initial reaction that they were not upset by the comment he made. If we all agreed that this was a word best left to die rather than continually used this situation would not have arisen.<br /><br />As to your last point I have to disagree. I think that in general the term "cracker" does not bother "white" people because they are less sensitive to racism in general. They have not been told repeatedly by people like Jesse Jackson that they need to be looking out for being offended about their race - to me these individuals are just using race as a tool to maintain a position of power over a specific community. However, whether or not it bothers someone the <i>intent</i> of the word is what matters, not the word itself or the history behind it. If you mean to be racist, you are racist and I do not think anyone is in a position to say that some measure of racism is somehow better than any other bit of racism.<br /><br />I'll leave you with this. It seems to me from some of your comments I have read here you view yourself as a white person who is unfairly privileged over other people, who you presumably see as disadvantaged black, hispanic, middle eastern, etc. people. I see you as a person, just that. Just like any other person in fact. Maybe there are people out there who create advantages and disadvantages for people based on meaningless categories they invent, but those people are also just people. It is OK to acknowledge that these differences exist, but to dwell on them is to take away from the point that we are all just that - people. Maybe we should just all agree to start treating each other that way.JustAManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771061384905709227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103861936871428259.post-17681566758329810822013-07-24T21:15:03.484-04:002013-07-24T21:15:03.484-04:00Well, if you don't like his lyrics, no one is ...Well, if you don't like his lyrics, no one is forcing you to listen or go online to see what kind of dirt you can find. It's funny to me how blacks can say horrible, racist things about whites and nobody seems to care or notice. So until you hold all these foul mouth rappers to same standards and expect them to respect whites, you are kind of being a hypocrite to bring up songs that David Allen Coe wrote and recorded 20-30 YEARS ago! I'm not racist, and I'm a fan of David Allen Coe. He is no longer using these songs you speak of when he performs, so I'm not sure what your reason for bringing up something he performed so very long ago, except to perhaps stir up more racially motivated hatred, as if there's not enough of that already.
