Björk is nutty but I don't think she was trying to be malicious with her outlandish comment. She should've said something else though.

This is what I think too. I don't stan ha, but I don't think she is racist, and personally don't have much of a problem with what she said. There's some truth to it. She obviously didn't mean it in a way to offend black people, but it doesn't really make it much better. Even IN context, there was no need for her to make that analogy in this day and age, knowing how offensive and sensitive to that word people are. The word holds a very dark history for an entire race of people, regardless of what context you use it in. There's plenty of other ways to get her point across.
Still, I can't at some people in here suggesting that people don't have the right to be offended over this. You can't tell someone what to be offended by, especially if it's something that doesn't affect you in the same way it does them. (i.e. if you're a white person in here trying to tell blacks not to be offended by her usage of the word, then I'm sorry bbys but your opinion doesn't hold much weight in this conversation.)
