Someone posted me this on facebook. She is right. I am a black gay male, That is how most white men act. They claim to be anti racist and think the fact they have "a ride" confirms that but at the same time are afraid to get serious or even expose themselves publicly with a black person. White women do that too: black 4 fun,white 4 real. It's about racism that is claimed not to be racism.
This is one of the sharpest poems written in the last fifty years, with Lenny's funky-az (no I don't mean funky a*s) on all instruments. AAAAAAHHHH!!! This whole album is one of my favorites.
I hear her, but does she have a problem being biracial? I guess that is her experience. As for me... I MET MAMMA, AND WE ARE COOL. <3 We'll be married 17 November 25. PEACE
Oooooohhh I get it now after all these yearsssss. Curious Whiteboy when am I gonna meet your mama "Met your daddy already", It's sarcasm at it's best, That's deep and ANGRY!! I got it!. Wow, After all this time listening to this song It finally clicked, I always sang along with no substance to what I was singing along to and finally today it was like BAM!... Ouch.
her derp fucking moron shes mixed aka she has some of her black parent and native parent.... but is painfully obvious she has black in her DNA, and no moron noone genetically linked to North American continent look like that from indigenous people.
@myHEADisAtv How the hell did you get Womb Amnesia?, That's like nowhere to be found. You had to get that at one of her gigs in 1993 or something, Or you know somebody...
If you think i'm so exotic why won't you use your consciouness and give me back my money, and stop running the train on me. FUCKFACE. My virginity is hanging on your family tree. Give me back my money theif.Shut YOUR FACE. Nobody could say that any better...Dih ni nu nah ni nuuh.DON'T MAKE MY JUNGLE COME OUT!!!Bad as hell!!!
DAYUM!!!!!!! This is a DEEP-ASS song!!!! I had always heard about "Freddie" from ADW - that she could throw down on wax - and this MORE than proves it! Does anyone have her song, "Angry Boy"?? Someone over at the Ladybug Mecca (another AWESOME singer/lyricist) mentioned to check it out. Thanks.
I stumbled upon her album about 5 years ago when I was trying to see what she doing in the industry. I bought it without ever hearing a track...and omg fell in love with it...LOL Miss Moon is my monthly anthem...I agree this album came out before its time...she should re-release it
Also this is a fantastic song. When I clicked the link I was like "oh no another actor who thinks she can sing"... AND THEN IT TURNS OUT SHE'S COMPLETELY AWESOME! I love being wrong! And the lyrics seem to get more layered and deep the more I think about them... awesome.
@NicoleH73 But we need to stop the notion that any black person lighter that the darkest African is product of post slavery "race mixin'". Ever heard of Ethiopians? And West Africans? Many of them are "Beyonce's complexion" without being the product of Native American or European ancestry.
Thank you ladies! Its nice to be able to have an intelligent dialogue about this powerful song. Individuals HEAR the song, but they choose not to LISTEN. This doesn't surprise me. I realize that this is a topic that makes many of us uncomfortable.
People need to really LISTEN to what Cree is saying. Historically the black female body has been exploited (Google Venus hottentot) we are viewed as "taboo", "exotic", "other". She says "Curious white boy, when am I going to meet your mama". You have some who'll f*ck us, but won't bring us home.
@abrown17: straight on! and exactly why I LOVE the rage of this song.. for its truth. I have never heard a song nail it like Cree does here, raw, stripped and to the point.
@NicoleH73 That's exactly what this song is about! I bought the album 11 years ago, always loved Cree and her style, caught myself listening to it yesterday getting "re aquainted" with it, and I love the song!
"Curious white boy, when am I gona meet yo mama" (met your daddy already)
She is speaking historically/figuritively about the steryotype that is thought to be discriptive of us, that is exactly right.
@NicoleH73 But isn't she a hypocrite. If he is just a "curious white boy" isn't any women of color who dates him (like Cree in this song) just as "curious"? The character in this song fuck the CWB's father brotyher and friends. Nowadays
@NicoleH73 But isn't she a hypocrite. If he is just a "curious white boy" isn't any women of color who dates him (like Cree in this song) just as "curious"? The character in this song fuck the CWB's father, brother and friends. Besides, nowadays interracial dating isn't "exploitation". It takes two to tango.
@thoomolong I am pretty sure she is not saying that ALL interracial dating is exploitative, she's just commenting on an awful and pervasive attitude among white dudes. And understand that white men have a lot more power in US society than Women of Color, so even if Ms. Summer were just as "curious" as the white boy in the song, it wouldn't be problematic in the same way, because she could not exploit him in that way.
She is talking about the white curiousity in blacks that is generally solely sexually motivated. That is why she sings "when am I gonna meet yo momma".White guys (and women) are ok with screwing blacks but consciously and deliberately keep them out of their social environment (which in fact is marginalisation).She is not hypocrite.
@myHEADisAtv: seriously! I think it's because her music is so truthful and Real that it goes over the head of the "mainstream" market. True ART at its best.
This track is helluva I still play this in my car. That's Lenny Karvitz on guitar. In fact the whole album is Lenny. The lyrics are haunting and not at all racist. Thanks for posting this.
This is an awesome song, mix of industrial, funk, metal, rock...etc: it's just all-over, crazy music. I love crazy music.
I used to have a sever case of "jungle fever"; but after I met my wonderful fiance, I learned to appreciate "colored" women for more than just their physical appeal and the social taboo the surrounds them.
What I had meant to say by "colored" was "non-white". I didn't want to discriminate between black, asian, indian, hispanic, or mixed women so insted I just said "colored". What's wrong with that?
because it takes you back to the days of whites only and colored only signs of Jim Crow. When you use colored, your using a term that was used to discriminate. When you say Asian, Indian (from India), Hispanic, Native American you're naming cultures, but when you say Black, that's not a culture. that's a color. White is not a culture but a color. So really we are all "colored".
I understand what you mean, and it makes sense. Believe me, I have no intention of coming off as racist. However, colored was and still is used by african-americans and non-whites to refer to themselves, such as the NAACP.
How many so-called black or African Americans you know that calls themselves colored? Please don't try to use a name of an organization that started in 1909 to think that we still call ourselves colored...it's just the name of a very old organization. We do not use colored, we say Black or African American. And no I don't think you're racist...not necessarily just confused. But this is why we have dialogue...so we all can learn from each other.
I appreciate it. While I do not personally know any black americans who use the term "colored" to describe themselves, I cannot rule out the possibility that they exist somewhere, neither can you.
The song is not racist. It's a very in-your-face song about white men who pursue sexual relationships with black women out of curiosity but have no intention of including them in their lives. It's an uncomfortable topic for some, but unfortunately things like this do occur. I think you should give it another listen and try to understand the lyrics.
BTW, Cree's dad is a white man married to a black woman.
@wentle1985 This comment is for the black chick. I am a black guy but I love this song for the funky rock beat more than the lyrics. Cree Summer is multi-racial. She grew up in Canada and was expose to many different cultures. So, her perspective is multi-racial. I guess she likes white boys. That is her preference.
Although Cree is technically bi-racial, she considers herself a Black woman. Again, this song is about white men who have approached her with less than honorable intentions, not the other way around. I have I have only seen her with Black men. Not that it matters...
abrown17 thanks for the info. I misunderstood the lyrics to this song like many have. As I said before I just love this hard funk/rock beat that had help from Lenny Kravitz.
This song didn't come from Lenny, it came from guitarist Tory Ruffin (The Time) and his band Civil Rite/Freakjuice - their version was called "Buck Naked in a Field of Daisey's" Cree and Tory were both in the group Subject to Change together.
I fell for this song the very first time I heard it. Lenny Kravitz has had a big influence on this album. Unfortunately, the rest of it, is the more typical and in my opinion, boring, Kravitz sound. not like this, which is kinda awesome
