I would love to track down the artist/album because that song really struck a chord... almost as strongly as Phil Och's Love me I'm a Liberal it fit in so well with an NPR program I'd heard earlier regarding the history of racial tensions going back to the westward expansion... it fit so well with the often stated contention that the civil war was not about slavery... it all about white supremacy and that was what made the cause so attractive to people who would never even be able to own a slave .. just as right wing supporters vote against their own economic self interest because it promised them automatic social superiority obviously, I have way too much time to think on these drives... lol |
