Well the focus isn't on his music here crait it's on what he said.
I read it and wonder if that was the real Soulja Boy or if someone just took his name and posted that.
Besides, in my opinion the most racist thing about it was his reference to "white boy" which is actually descriptive as if one were to say "black man" which isn't a racist term at all. Soulja boy assumed that the people trashing his videos were "white" thus he called them "white boys" There isn't anything racist about that other than his blind (and probably accurate) assumption about who was harassing him.
His use of the word "nigga" was never intended to be a racial epithet but people outside of the culture make little distinction between the frequently offensive word "nigger" and the word "Nigga" due to dialectal or regional differences in the English language.
"Nigga" is frequently used as an endearing term in urban black communities such as in the phrase "that's my nigga" or "real nigga s**t" as soulja boy used it. However, depending on what precedes the word "nigga" it can be just as offensive as it's root "nigger" which is more often used in a disparaging manner, examples need not be cited here and generally speaking it's best to limit use of the words as much as possible to avoid any misunderstandings.
