Well I don't think he meant anything other than that he probably agrees with the lyrics. Four people wrote the song and he's not one of the songwriters. Also he's not from a small town.
Why the fuck would he knowingly sing something he would know would cost him his reputation?
Answer: he knows the song is racist and agrees with the message.
