I'm not claiming to have dominion over what people are allowed to feel. People can complain as much as they like, but by that turn I am also allowed to complain that some people are ridiculously oversensitive these days. One word taken out of context becomes a horrendous, awful slight that they should be shunned for forever. Many people look for excuses to claim racefail, to be an injured party, even to have grounds to sue for their own gain. I don't know anyone's history, but I can sure tell naked greed and profiteering when I see it.

There was a case recently where someone at a public meeting used the word 'jungle drums' in the context of 'hearing it on the grape vine/jungle drums'. A white person in the audience heard it, was not initially offended, stayed for drinks and a chat, and then later decided that they were grossly offended on behalf of black people everywhere and is trying to sue for damanges. People are saying that Gaga is a horrible person, a racist, a bigot, etc., for one word, that nobody can prove was meant to be offensive.

It is a big deal over something small, and while I'm sure there are people out there with life experiences that make the words used genuinely offensive and have every right to feel slighted, I would argue that they are a small number of the complainers, many of whom are jumping on the 'THAT'S X-IST!' bandwagon, desperate to call something racist, or just looking for an acceptable excuse to hate Gaga without having to say 'I don't like her style, I don't like that she's rich, blah blah., and it is these people, who are hangers-on and overzealously 'sticking up for the offended parties' when the offended party didn't ask them to who make me despair.

I don't see any movement to ban or shun Gaga by anyone who didn't already like her. A lot of her fans who don't like those lyrics just want her to respond to the criticisms, and to apologize.

Also, most of the people that are offended by her actions are fans who are disappointed in her, or people who are more neutral on her. A lot of the haters are too busy bashing her on how the song sounds like Madonna xD
