What's funny is we black folk don't grasp ironic satire too well and upon hearing the word "nigger", even in a sarcastic song, we would be ready to jump Randy Newman. I like the song.
Since when is a song against racism (intentional in the South; de facto in the North) politically incorrect? I think he goes too far in this song. Blacks are not simply objects of white pity or malice. That said, I still like the song.
@seans10 I think this song is politically correct really. It satirises the people in the North who are against racism but decide to turn a blind eye against the racism in their area while also saying that the racism in the South is also bad.
Best line is "college folks form LSU, went in dumb come out dumb too" Love RN.
Masterpiece album, Sail Away album is equally fantastic.

This song is written from a narrative point of view, as are most of Randy's songs.
