It's a rage against the machine song that's extremely left wing and he didn't parody it. Weird Al straight up covered a famous song with lyrics including "some of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses".

People are losing our shit because we knew he was progressive, but this is the equivalent of your local Methodist preacher saying that ICE raids are the system working as intended and why it must be destroyed.

I'm so glad I can still love Weird Al. Thanks for explaining.
