Here's the difference. If a black rapper has lyrics that are about killing/hurting white people he is a person writing, recording and then selling that opinion. He s trying to profit from that statement. In this case it was frat kids on what is likely a school owned bus chanting about lynching black people seemingly for their own entertainment.
In many cases you can discount what is said in a song that is put up for sale because the person putting it out is trying to elicit an emotional reaction in order to trigger sales. It is no different than when someone releases a controversial book. Often times these people are discounted unless it is shown that this is their real agenda and that they might actually be dangerous. These kids had nothing to gain from this video. I'm sure some of them were just caught up in the moment, but deep down you have to assume that this is really how they feel and that makes it more controversial than some rapper trying to stir up press.
Imagine if you will, a video is leaked of a bunch of black NFL players on a bus chanting about killing white people. If you think for a second that it wouldn't be a big news story or that the NFL wouldn't come down upon them with great vengeance you are fooling yourself.
