Okay. I read the article. I found myself saying, about halfway through, a line that I hadn't thought about since I was a middle class college student: "I wanna be black." Warning. Offensive lyrics ahead. This is a song to which my roommate in college introduced me. It is by Lou Reed. We used to sing the lines to some of the black guys on our floor, and they would crack up. It's a different world today, but just be warned...the lyrics are...raw. And politically incorrect, of course.
I wanna be black, by Lou Reed.
I wanna be black, have natural rhythm Shoot twenty foot of jism too And f@#k up the jews
