You catch any white man off guard in here right now, you catch him off guard and ask him what he is, he doesn't say he's an american. he either tells you he's irish, or he's italian, or he's german, if you catch him off guard and he doesn't know what you're up to. and even though he was born here, he'll tell you he's italian. well, if he's italian, you and i are african even though we were born here.
