How is Baabaa Black Sheep racist?
I'm black myself and have heard the song.
To the people who say it's racist...have you even heard the whole song?
A white sheep is also included.
You have to be really trying to stir bulls**t to find racism in the song.
Yes, the wool of the sheep is made to make clothes.
But that doesn't necesseraly referr to racism. That's just common sense.... sheep have wool, which makes clothes. You'd have to be racist yourself to find racism in that.
Like those shows where black people have huge lips with bleek skin...that's understandable as to how that can be racist.
But where is the OBVIOUS racism in Baabaa Black Sheep?
It's like they heard "Oh it says black...RACIST". Forget the fact it mentions a white sheep too lol.

It isn't. The "people" who say it's racist are either having you on, don't know what the term means, or (as you say) are trying to start something. Other common things that people try to make about race" the song "White Christmas", uncreamed ("black") coffee, Black Friday, red tide, purple rain [OK, not really, but I had to throw that in there! :-) ], white sales.

Who says it is? You are the first I've heard to get that out of the song. Now the term "Black Sheep in the family" has racist origins. It refers to white people who have black ancestry. If it was rumored that you had a Black Sheep in the family, then most other whites would exclude you socially for fear that you may end up getting too close to someone in their family and soiling their heritage as well.
