Do Eminem's early lyrics about black women change your opinion of him?

Eminem has responded to allegations that he made racially derogatory references to African Americans, in particular African American women in one of his early recordings. The rapper issued the following statement in relation to the recording, 'The tape was something I made out of anger, stupidity, and frustration when I was a teenager. I'd just broken up with my girlfriend, who was African American, and I reacted like the angry, stupid kid I was. I hope people will take it for the foolishness that it was, not for what somebody is trying to make it today.' The songs include the following lyrics: 'And all the girls that I like to bone/Have the big butts, no they don't/ Cause I don't like that n-gger sh-t/ I'm just here to make a bigger hit... Blacks and whites they sometimes mix/But Black girls only want your money cause they're dumb chicks/So I'mma say like this/Don't date a Black girl, take it as a diss/if you want, but if you don't/I'mma tell you like this, I surely won't/Never date a black girl because Blacks only want your money/ and that sh-t ain't funny... Black girls and white girls just don't mix/Because Black girls are dumb and white girls are good chicks.'
