Elvis Costello, who once called Ray Charles a “blind, ignorant nigger” (but gets a pass because he’s Elvis Costello) now finds one of of his songs — dating back to 1979 — censored for the use of the word “nigger.”
Except the exact phrase is “white nigger,” which isn’t quite the same thing, and the song’s persona is a bad guy.
(Shades of “Money for Nothing.”)
