By that logic black people cringe in pain listening to every other hip hop release for including that word. Which I also doubt.
Point being, radio stations censoring themselves preemptively because someone, somewhere, might take offense isn’t a good indicator of how the affected people actually feel about it.

Perhaps you can test this for yourself?
Wait outside your nearest gay bar and call anyone that walks out a removed?
The song does not call anyone a faggot, it’s quoting an (probably) hypothetical person thoughts.
(Sorry for spelling it out - but I am convinced not using an evil word does only make the word an even stronger weapon)
How is that in any way the same thing? I wouldn’t call a black person the other word either, in music or art it’s fine though.
