Okay, I'll bite, but only because I'm a fan.  The Wall is anything but
racist;
in fact, it is anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-oppression, etc.  Remember,
it is
a concept album with certain songs that may be misinterpreted as being
racist if one doesn't understand the concept.

Ironically, it is loosely based on Syd Barrett, the former co-founder of
Pink Floyd, who did take a lot of LSD and who was presumed to have
developed schizophrenia effectively causing his early retirement.  But I
have
to disagree with Harry Avis' description of Pink Floyd!  Jefferson Airplane?
The Psychelic Furs?  No, there really is no comparison!
