Rihanna ‘S&M’ Song: Inappropes?

Feels so good being bad
There’s no way I’m turning back
Now the pain is my pleasure
Cause nothing could measure

Love is great, love is fine
Out the box, out of line
The affliction of the feeling
Leaves me wanting more

[Chorus x2:]
Cause I may be bad
But I’m perfectly good at it
Sex in the air
I don’t care
I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But chains and whips
Excite me

Back when the song came out, I heard the obvious commentary about it: she’s singing a song about being sexually aroused by getting beat up when her most notable non-performance news maker instance was her getting beat up by her boyfriend. But I heard one radio commentator also call it inappropriate because she’s black and, I don’t know if you’ve heard or not but: black people were slaves at one point. Yawn. Sounds like the lamest race baiting criticism ever but I’ve heard it more than once since then. What are your thoughts?
