Hmmm, this song reminds me every time of John Lennon's "Woman is the Nigger of the World."  Word play and identity are an interesting mezcla to swish around for hours.  I'm constantly upset with myself when I turn Randall Kennedy's book Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word (even though it is not a racist book)around when company comes over, just because I don't want to argue even further that just because I am a white southerner I am racist.  Troublesome indeed, just as much as calling a woman a bitch if you are a straight man.  Where is the line though?
