Yeah, I heard the same story MadforMac posted when the song came out, so I understood the "it's not me talking" argument. I just don't buy it.

Imagine instead if the electronics guy he's pretending to be had been talking/griping about "See the niggers with their rapping and the gold teeth". I doubt Mark would have included THAT in the song.
