Randy Newman had a song out several years ago entitled "Short People". I'm short, therefore I was offended by it. Don't give me this crap about what he was "trying" to say about the absurdity of any type of prejudice.
Let's change the words....Don't want no Black people around here. Or....Don't want no Gay people around here. Or....Don't want no Mexicans around here.
He says:
"They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello"
What if he said,
"They got five black fingers
And five black toes
They play basketball
Them nappy headed ho's"?
Do ya see what I'm saying?
If we're going to scream and cry every single time someone says something offensive and start suing people and getting all this attention, then I want in on it too.
So, on this public forum, I demand that Randy Newman apologize to me.
Who's with me?
