Brad Paisley, LL Cool J Stand By "Accidental Racist" Song
“Accidental Racist,” a duet by country singer Brad Paisley and rapper LL Cool J  was slammed by music critics and fans alike for its attempt at a dialogue on race between two men from starkly different backgrounds.  They say they hoped it would start a conversation like this.
“I’m not really sure we’re going to find any answers but it was the idea that we were asking the question,” Paisley said.Â
“Martin Luther King says that darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can,” LL Cool J added.  “Hate can’t drive out hate, only love can. So what we’re talking about is compassion.”
