@up2space
'Jim' is a reference to a Negro or a Nigger (yes this is a reference to the Jim Crow laws), kind of like the way Chocolate Sprinkles are called Jim-Jim's.
The Velvet Underground & Lou's lyrics were always bare social commentary, so it's not surprising. Not that Lou was racist but I doubt he cared if they offended any one.

P.S. Whoever got my last response deleted because are offended by the truth and can't handle seeing the word nigger:
Go listen to Lady Gaga, Fag.

Before the clapping, is that Nico's harmonium? Perhaps the end of "Janitor of Lunacy?" It's quite possible that I'm hearing things!
