We live in a semi-rural area, but it's not lilly-white and some people really got offended. I had to ask why they ever chose a song ike that in the first place...the coach is a twit apparently.

Who got offended?
It's surprising that the black people would be offended, because Kanye is one of their own, and young black people have adopted the dreaded "n-word" as a synonym for "friend" or "buddy" or "bro" or whatever.
It's also surprising that the white people would be offended, because....well, they're white.
Seriously, given the lyrical content, it probably was not the best choice in music for young students to perform to. A pretty stupid lapse in judgement by the coach, as you already pointed out....
