Yes, you are right. How could I have been so deceptive as to cover my lack of integrity in veneer. Actually, I must admit prejudice toward Negroes. (And please notice my bending to the name you have chosen for their race, It’s a good name, but has come into disrepute in recent years.) My prejudice is in liking some of them a lot, and basing my affection partially on race. The cute black man at Trader Joe’s who gives me free samples is absolutely adorable in his curls and baby-like smile. And that bass singer doing Old Man River is so very manly and domineering. Then there’s the poet with enough smarts to make me feel inferior sometimes, which has led to my being genuinely attracted. Yes, I must stop tiptoeing and get right to the heart of my prejudices in the future.

Does this mean we're not fighting anymore?

Yeah, maybe some lines like: Beak inserted under bushy wing.

A somber tale, and if true, points to the death rate by car accident, 4%, compared to suicide, 1.4%, in the US. It's just that poetry seldom leads to car accidents.

If your veneer of racial impartiality was anything other than skin deep, you'd have no trouble answering the question. But you can't answer it, because you can't even think the word 'Negro' without tiptoeing around the subject, terrified of exposing the slightest hint of prejudice. The only thing more astounding than your closet racism is your complete lack of integrity. -0-

Stars are made of Hydrogen and a little Helium but on the other end tears as well as all matter in the universe is made of stars. Here's a song that might speak to you. http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/wariner-steve/two-teardrops-2923.html

It's been my experiance that red heads are some of the best lays. Although I may be only half right seeing I only do the girls.

I didn't mean personal isolationism. I meant democrats are the homemakers of the country. Republicans take care of the business. So democrats are like women in the 1950s. Personally I think both parties are old fashioned.

I like your interpretation better. A much more subtle, less offensive take than what I was thinking but I think you still get the gist. For every black person trying to progress there's two more pulling in the opposite direction. Black people are still being held down by there own misconceptions of themselves and self imposed stereotypes. I was inspired by the words of such men as Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and Bill Cosby. The caged bird is stolen from Mia Angelo and used in this poem to represent a married or seriously involved black man yearning for freedom to spread his seed to the white pussy. You see how this is probably not what Ms Angelo had in mind. -Bwahahahaa!- Ms Angelo.

To answer such a question is as reasonable as answering whether Slimy Limeys are more ignorant on average than normals.

re: "That's because democrats tend to be isolationist pussies." In the last election, 58% of Americans with passports voted Democrat, 35% voted Republican.

"Gimme a Pigfoot" was apparently written by black vaudeville singer Sox Wilson. I meant Billie's notorious for singing white peoples' standards, like the Gershwins' "They Can't Take that Away from Me", and having people think they're authentic blues. That's what I got out of "the caged bird sings to the white feline", anyway. I can't find anything more of "The Pusher" online except a 30-second clip at Amazon, which I don't think makes it to the chorus.

I'm sure I've heard the song before but I can't remember it. I tried to find it on the web to listen to but have yet to find a sample in which she is singing. Throw me a link if you find something. The spacing and indentations are just my homage to the time honored Poemranker tradition. Who did write "gimme a pigsfoot and a bottle of beer"? I'm not a Jew. I'm Black Irish with a little Native American thrown in. Can you imagine the amount of alcohol I've consumed. I do love the blues though.
