In reply to the discussion: Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is [View all]Doc Holliday
(719 posts)and some of the responses to it caused me to remember part of a song from the late 70's. I think it was on an old National Lampoon record.
"I wish I was a Negro, with lots of Negro soul
With a butt you can park a six-pack on, and skin as black as coal
If I were a funky Negro eating soul-food barbecue
Then I wouldn't have to sing the Middle-Class Liberal Well-Intentioned Blues.
"Oh, I wish I was a red man...a full-grown Sioux papoose
So when I got drunk on a beer and a half I'd have a good excuse
I'd be a Noble Savage....never wear no socks or shoes
And I wouldn't have to sing the Middle-Class Liberal Well-Intentioned Blues.
"But I am not a Negro, a red man or a Mex
I'm a member of the oppressing age, language, race and sex
I sympathize with the Arab cause, and I feel for the put-upon Jews
And I keep singing....the Middle-Class Liberal.....Humanitarian...Meaningful Dialogue...we-are-all-responsible Well-Intentioned Blues."
And I'll apologize in advance if anyone finds this offensive, being out of context and all.
