@dthesq She refers to blacks as being a "damned race" in that they have been damned by fate, white society or the gods, whatever, but she certainly doesn't mean it as a slur. She sings of the Black Panthers who though a bit misguided, were fighting a revolution of black emancipation. She does certainly tell others not necessarily to "do" anything but wants people to confront the truth about our society & how blacks had been unfairly incarcerated beyond what was justified.
