Just by your view of what race relations were like in the South on an individual basis, I can tell where you did not grow up. You have swallowed the Yankee stereotype hook, line, and sinker. I'd almost bet you got that out of a book published in Boston (where white northern hypocrites were burning buses seven years after our schools had been integrated so their kids wouldn't have to go to school with 'those people').
Now your northern bleep's a Negro
You see he's got his dignity
Down here we're too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the bleep free
Yes he's free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he's free to be put in a cage on the South-Side of Chicago
And the West-Side
And he's free to be put in a cage in Hough in Cleveland
And he's free to be put in a cage in East St. Louis
And he's free to be put in a cage in Fillmore in San Francisco
And he's free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston
They're gatherin' 'em up from miles around
Keepin' the bleep down
