Keep my cocoa handy

Moxie may have just participated in cyber sex. She received another comment from Black Beau that dissected the patriarchal/racist/imperialistic overtones of a video I posted in this post. His comment:

Hmmm, I'll take that song as flattery :-) You realize of course that the song about black boys is all about 'consuming' and 'commidifying' black men right? They're 'delicious' and satisfy - whereas the song about white boys discusses how pretty they are and the emotional impact they have on the women they pursue. Even in the midst of progressively laced pablum white supremecist rhetoric rears it's ugly head.

Ahem. That was just plain old dirty talk in my world. For the rest of you here are the lyrics he so accurately described:

Black boys are delicious

Chocolate flavored love

Licorice lips like candy

Keep my cocoa handy

I have such a sweet tooth

When it comes to love

Once I tried a diet

Of quiet, rest, no sweets

But I went nearly crazy

And I went clearly crazy

Because I really craved for

My chocolate flavored treats

Black boys are nutritious

Black boys fill me up

Black boys are so damn yummy

They satisfy my tummy

I have such a sweet tooth

When it comes to love

Black black black black

black black black black

Black boys

White boys are so pretty

Skin as smooth as milk

White boys are so pretty

Hair like Chinese silk

White boys give me goose bumps

White boys give me chills

When they touch my shoulder

That's the touch that kills

Well, my momma calls 'em lilies

I call 'em Piccadillies

My daddy warns me stay away

I say come on out and play

White boys are so groovy

White boys are so tough

Every time that they're near me

I just can't get enough

White boys are so pretty

White boys are so sweet

White boys drive me crazy

Drive me indiscreet

White boys are so sexy

Legs so long and lean

Love those sprayed-on trousers

Love the love machine

My brother calls 'em rubble

That's my kind of trouble

My daddy warns me "no no no"

But I say "White boys go go go"

White boys are so lovely

Beautiful as girls

I love to run my fingers

And toes through all their curls

Give me a tall

A lean

A sexy

A sweet

A pretty

A juicy

White boy

Black boys!

White boys!

Black boys!

White boys!

Mixed media!

I still love the song...in the movie Nell Carter cracks me up singing about white boys, but how many men do you know can spit political about a musical? Excuse me while I go fan myself.
