No, I don't agree. If you have a black and white view of the world, you'd believe that Floyd was just a bad person - end of story. That's the sort of mindset that has made the US so dangerously polarised - everything is good or evil.

What Jon's lyric is potentially getting at is that Floyd wasn't perfect. Far from it. But was he what he was because he was conditioned that way due to the racial divide in the US. Was he born a bad person or did he become that?

I don't believe Jon has glorified him at all.
