Age of consent laws in the U.S., reflecting the general age of consent: 16 blue, 17 olive, 18 neon green.
Then, some states have age differentials written into their laws for minors - the legal discrepancy is limited.
The marriage age in the United States is the age at which a person can marry in the United States as a right, or with parental consent or other authorization....
General age of marriage (without parental or court approval or other exceptions taken into account): 18 blue, 19 green, 21 red.
"With parental consent and judicial approval a person can marry at 14" in Alaska and California, and in several states there's no minimum at all, pending approval.
I'll bet this distinction was made clear at the site you got your age of consent map from.

Ruh Roh, time for Useless to run away again.

Interesting too that while the jail-baity lyrics might be unacceptable now, there is much more explicit sexuality and fuck words. I remember when people realized that the Who had included a "who the fuck are you" in "Who Are You" and some stations weren't playing it. I think Drake can get in 'fuck" at at rate of one every 10 seconds or so.
And there was the FBI investigation of Louie Louie because it might have obscenities.
Nowadays we have evangelical ministers performing Cat Scratch Fever with the poopie pants guy on fox news.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
Yeah, I realized right away that changes in "standards" didn't necessarily mean an improved societal morality. More than likely just a change in hypocrisy. A couple of years ago when Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga did a really beautiful version of "Baby it's Cold Outside" for an ad, there were all sorts of complaints from the "Me too's" about the implied coercion in the persistence of the song's male character. Yet, I missed the public complaints, if any, about A$AP Rocky, joined by Drake about the cheery little piece that included lines like:
"I be fuckin' broads like I be fuckin' bored
Turn a dyke bitch out, have her fuckin' boys, beast"

...Some jurisdictions have laws explicitly allowing sexual acts with minors under the age of consent if their partner is close in age to them. For instance, in Canada, the age of consent is 16, but there are two close-in-age exemptions: sex with minors aged 14–15 is permitted if the partner is less than five years older, and sex with minors aged 12–13 is permitted if the partner is less than two years older.[30] Other countries state that the sexual conduct with the minor is not to be punished if the partners are of a similar age and development: for instance, the age of consent in Finland is 16, but the law states that the act will not be punished if "there is no great difference in the ages or the mental and physical maturity of the persons involved".[31] Another approach takes the form of a stipulation that sexual intercourse between a minor and an adult is legal under the condition that the latter does not exceed a certain age. For example, the age of consent in the US state of Delaware is 18, but it is allowed for teenagers aged 16 and 17 to engage in sexual intercourse as long as the older partner is younger than 30.[32] In Slovenia, the age of consent is 15, but the activity is only deemed criminal if there is "a marked discrepancy between the maturity of the perpetrator and that of the victim".[33]...
Predictably pitiful deflection from your fuck up. Let's bring the age of consent from the rest of the world into the picture to muddy the water and ignore the marriage age screw up, then claim it's complicated.
Another day in Feckless land.

Yep, Useless is so cowardly that it's easy to predict his cringing avoidance of accountability, every single time.
So where is (Vrede too) to call the above "racist"?
Pitiful.
O Really's citation of sexist and offensive lyrics does not attribute them to being a Black thing, and he had already cited a bunch of sketchy lyrics from White performers. Otoh, you've expressed and never retracted your overt "thug" racism. There's no comparison between you and O Really, crybaby, on any level. It's a hoot that you would even try.

Music - or at least music memory. It's interesting how hearing a particular song can immediately bring a memory of a place, a time, and sometimes even smells or sense of temperature. And for happy or sad events.
Way back in the day, I had a girlfriend for about six or eight months or so, and we thought for a while we were "the one." Dunno know exactly why we weren't. We got along great, ended up more drifting apart than any actual break-up. I think there were a bunch of external stresses that just made it not our time. Anyway, she was from Minnesota, a Phi Beta Kappa grad of St. Olaf with a masters in statistics from Penn. She had long dark hair, green eyes, and built like the former competitive skater she was. She loved to dance and was good at it. Probably would have been a good hip hop or shuffle dancer if there had been any such thing back then. When Blue Swede started singing "Hooked on a Feeling," she'd add her dance to it and at the point they go "I yi -yi -yi -yi (bang) hooked on a feeling", she'd give a Rockettes-worthy kick at the bang. Every time that song comes along on my YouTube spin or Guardians of the Galaxy, I think of her fondly. She ended up marrying some guy that eventually became a federal judge in Massachusetts or somewhere. Hope she's had a nice life.
I was a starving UCB student when that song came out, and trying to learn violin and fiddle. I never knew the name of the band, that they were from Sweden, nor even heard the Oooga chaka stuff. Go figure. But it's a good enough tune. I'm glad it has brought you good memories.
Pitiful.
