It’s called “Woman Is the Nigger of the World.”

That’s the title.

Here are the lyrics:

The song never got much airplay, probably because of the shock value of its title. But the message was brutally clear.

Being female is the most powerful portal that allows me to “get” or even begin to understand the black experience, even while white.
