You mean that the song is sarcastic? I really don't know, English isn't my native language, so I probably don't understand its nuances. From what I understand from it, he is playing the role (if the song is really sarcastic) of a racist dumbass. If the song isn't sarcastic, then he is a racist dumbass. To reach a conclusion, I'd have to read all his lyrics, and yet, I could be in doubt. Racism is a very sensible theme, so making sarcastic comments, lyrics, poetry, etc, probably isn't a bright thing. Who knows, Guns was so big back than, that it seamed obvious that he was being sarcastic... but picking this song alone without prior knowledge, certainly makes he look bad.
