"Has been present since I encountered it, I think in the Norton Anthology, Jeez, how long ago? End of college? Early grad school?"
""" Some folks are born made to wave the flag They're red, white and blue And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief" They point the *canon* at you, Lord """ I can imagine the academics at work now, rendering the term "whitey" as meaningless as they rendered the term "equality". Not even the civil rights movement, which aimed to end American aparteid, seemed to be powerful enough to prevent some from distilling "...all men are created equal" into a mathematical equality before dismissing the notion as they had with consciousness, luminiferous ether, free will and unicorns. For me, it was sometime in college that I finally met my first unicorn. """ Picket linesSchool boy cots They try to say it's a communist plot All I want is equality For my sister my brother my people and me Yes you lied to me all these years You told me to wash and clean my ears And talk real fine just like a lady And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie Oh but this whole country is full of lies You're all gonna die and die like flies I don't trust you any more You keep on saying "Go slow!"
