&gt;every day there are so many white people leaving comments on the Chocolate Rain video pretending not to understand what he&#x27;s talking about that<p>I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s a charitable interpretation. Whether you&#x27;re black or white, his song is very metaphorical. The underlying tone can generally be understood, and the lyrics aren&#x27;t nonsense, but it&#x27;s difficult to comprehend any of them when taken literally.<p>Of course it&#x27;s easy to see that the song is related to the plight of black members of society (&quot;chocolate&quot;, school books, prisons, &quot;living in a gate&quot;), but the metaphors he uses are definitely not obvious, nor is his exact message obvious without close analysis of the lyrics.<p>It&#x27;s pretty ridiculous to assume someone&#x27;s confusion is an intentional racist aggression. Also, many people genuinely <i>aren&#x27;t</i> aware of past and present issues black Americans face, so their not recognizing them doesn&#x27;t somehow mean they approve of them or are dismissive.
