Rock ‘n’ Roil: Debates on Who’s No. 1, Racism, Sexism and Criticism
Yes, Guns N’ Roses’ song “One in a Million” uses racist remarks, but it uses them to show us how evil racism is!
The song does not reflect the band’s opinions; they have explained that in many heavy-metal magazines. You have to show the ugliness of hate, just as you must show the ugliness of drugs.
