This song randomly popped up in my head today. Ahh brings me back to the good ol days. Edit: Unfortunately, I can totally see this song catching popularity today because people take it so literally as I see in the comments. Please do your research on the band before you make such comments, and maybe on the whole punk movement in the 80s. It seems like a lot of people missed the irony of the song.
The world is different 40 years later. Someone makes a work of art and puts it out into the world, it has a life of its own, and what it means evolves as the world changes. The artist can’t control what the art means. That’s one of the risks of being an artist.
I never understand the association with racism and this song.. 1. Singing about whites becoming a Minority race = racism/white pride? Okay? This makes zero logic or sense. 2. Also people like to point out how the official version is sung by Ron Reyes to go along with #1 as some twist of irony, however, while Ron Reyes is Puerto Rican, The song was written by Gregg Ginn (who is white) . 3. Finally to go with #2, This song was intended to be sung by Keith Morris (who is also white) as he was the singer at the time of this song's inception, and you can find the early recording of this song with Keith on vocals on Black Flag's "everything went black" compilation.
Gregg Ginn (writer): On October 10, 2014, Ginn's ex-wife Marina filed a motion in court to prevent Ginn from having access to their children, claiming Ginn was "routinely denying them food and threatening them," "abusing alcohol and drugs in front of them," had "forced [the children] to do cleaning chores until 2 a.m." "locked [them] in a room alone with no contact with the outside world through cell phone or emails," and had "throw[n] cups of water in their face." She also claimed he had told his daughters "you're hot" and "whistled at them," and told them "they are getting fat and need to lose weight and that their diets will have to be more strenuous."[6] Ex-Black Flag member Ron Reyes later submitted an affidavit to the court supporting Marina Ginn's statements.[7]
+Masked Caballo Americans don't get it! Ron Reyes was my favorite singer in Black Flag next to Keith Morris. These guys were real. Rollins? He had a powerful voice and strong presents but he was still a meathead.

@odessa 14 Good lord, you got your fragile little feeling hurt by this song so much. You really thought punk was just about being shitty to everyone and once you figured out what satire was it killed you
I think the inversion of perceived message is what the band deserves. Poking fun at this concept is a leap they took early enough for it to appeal to rebellious contrarian punks, but now it's real and it's not edgy to satirize anymore at all.
well the worst part of it is that people aren't informed about anything they just eat up the idea the media portrays which is the interracial relations are nothing more then ice cream scoops, they are treating people's distinctions as nothing more then flavors. That's pretty cold if you ask me, the only way to remedy this cancerous virus is by returning to segregation not violent but a way of dividing the neighborhoods and towns to be less messy.
America will be a much better place when the nation is mainly comprised of people from the third-world. I can only see good things coming from that... what could possibly go wrong?
Well, tough shit. Stop being a pussy and learn to live with it cause' it's the future. We've had to be minorities for 100s of years in this country so I'm sure you guys can handle it ;)
@@mrtn1566 Who are you talking to? I'm agreeing with you. When the people of color take over, America will be a much better place. Just imagine a country ran by immigrants from Africa or Central America, sounds wonderfull...to hell with all this technology and western-civilization crap... give the USA some good old primitivity and anarchy.
@Don Nicholas 1. I'm not a liberal 2. You literally said natives. You are showing that you do know people stayed in America before white people. Surely they should have more say on immigration and see what they say about you complaining about a nation that wasn't yours to begin with. Do you really think they will back you up or do you think they will say that you just entered the county then pulled the ladder up behind you.
@Don Nicholas 1. I don't think you know what a simp is🤣 2. So what you are saying is it should be whoever is born in the country should have a say. Surely that includes all the non white Christians. 3. Let's just say it was only white Christians who where born in America and everyone else just moved there in the past 5 years surely if they just waited long enough it would be a majority non white Christian population and then they get the say rather than white Christians. 4. Does this mean that if I became prime minister here in the UK I could join forces with russia and China and invade America before renaming it "Russia 2" and you wouldn't complain because they created a more efficient government, only let Russians in and only allowed people to speak Russian? After all they would create a nation that wasn't only full of one group of people which naz|s like you must love
@Don Nicholas 1. China surprisingly does have immigration. Barely any i only know one person but do you know how much poverty they have? Also they have concentration camps but obviously that's what naz[s like you like. 2. You said it was ok for the British to make America a country because the natives where so divided and yet you say the same thing is happening in America now. Therefore don't you think its OK for the world to bomb you so China can have a place that lots of people could immigrate to? Right now China is overpopulated which is why they had the one child policy so surely its OK for the rest of the world to bomb you to stop the overpopulation and provide an area for one culture?
@Hugh G. Rection ok so what? Believe it or not cultures change. A large part of my countries culture was killed off by the English yet you don't see me crying about it
This is among my ALL TIME fav songs. When the demographics flip to this reality in the hate-ridden City on a Hill would love to own rights to this song.
This is the funniest shit I ever read, white people really FEEL like Victims, holy shit. So much for the superior race... bunch of murdering cry babies.
Its relevant to matters of the physical and the material taking precedence over the spiritual. Which, by the looks of current philosophical views, seems to be poignant argument.
It was such a letdown to find out this is not a racist song.It just took all the wind out of the sails! It was such a tease to racists such as myself.There is so much more energy and power in racist music,and could have been a little more successful in keeping it racist.Thanks alot Black Flag! 😡
@@bmoremetal The irony being that this song is literally about white snowflakes in LA who can't get over having brown Latinos integrate. Its actually making fun of you dense cultists.
I still think this song isn't ironic and they just said so to not falsely be labeled minorities, the biggest right wing person I know is puerto rican and unironically believes basically what this song is saying. Dems will just use this song to pat themselves on the back for another 30 years though.
Cry more baby White people will be the minority and if you think that's bad then this song is making fun of you. Only stupid ass racists think being a minority is a bad thing
Reyes bests Rollins. The art and social criticism is ripe and juicy here. Rockabilly sonics soar. X was better however. Billy Zoom is differrnce. And the poor thang lament on demographic change and displacement by computer technology was spot on. Depression got a hold...on Americans, young and old.
Great thing about PUNK is it appeared in late 70s England/USA as pop culture for "whites" displaced by technology (think BILL GATES) in the workplace, and less prominent in either country"s myth-making pop. Some "whites" abandoned apparently the obligation to protect their own with high paid factorywork for guys and gals w GEDs. This song captures beautifully that anger snd fear. Hell is this fury unfurled is song.
EXACTLY. When, to date myself, I'd frequent cbgb I'd ponder why all the anger and why all the patrons. Oh...it was the beginning of the bollocks that's choking the 99%. When gangsta rap reared its fuck da police middle finger I pondered what's the who what where why when how of the anger. BLACK LIVES MATTER answers that query.
The song is mostly ironic, the vocalist on this track is Puerto Rican and the drummer was a Columbian immigrant who overstayed his student visa. According to Greg Ginn, they made this song to make people like you look stupid
I can listen to this everyday, the riff is catchy.
