Racist Song?

[jesse_3]

Well, I guess I am going to speak up a little bit here. I don't know if some of you really understand. No, personally, that would not effect me, but think of some of the things that are said about Native Americans.
Yes, there is a lot of racism, and one term used in there "red" would be very offensive. I can sort of understand why that would be a problem.

I went through a long journey this year learning about Native Americans, Jewish, and African Americans, and well, I now understand things a little better. I don't want to get in an argument, but give Native Americans a little slack. Their elders have been to Hell and back..Besides, you don't know what could be said to a certain person. Maybe the song triggered a memory. I have a Native American friend who could back me up with that statement too. So please, don't be so harsh. If a Native American were to come on and read this, what would they think?

Who remembers Little Black Sambo?

Is he back in vogue now?


A wonderful kid's story about a young black kid that melts some tigers into butter for his pancakes.


I think that it's still Un PC.....PETA will argue about killing Tigers for a short stack.

I find that most stereotypes are based in some truth.


Look at Senor Speedy Gonzalez..
His hat, clothes and and huaraches are the style of long ago.

(Hey, wasn't it the Beach Boys that used the term huaraches in a surfing song? what does rhyme with huaraches?)

Being an American Mexican I have eated beans, rice and tortillas...

Beaner? Darn Right! Taco Bender? Yep!

I can't play the 'sorrow' game today. What ever injustices that happened long ago do not hurt me now. That was a cross for the people who came before me to bear.

I have to make the most of their pain and sacrifices to make my own history.
