The only time my school music lessons got interesting was an unplanned political argument sparked by the line "...if you're a white in America".
It was topped by a boy who loudly declared, "There's no racism anymore - niggers do great over there."
It took me a few seconds to get my 14-year old mind around the irony. I sometimes wonder how many others saw it.
That kid probably would have gotten hurt if he went to the elementary school that I did. But if he went to the same high school that I did, he'd probably find plenty who would agree with him.
