Lyrics
And...
Obviously although he had someways to go in his personal life...
as everybody born white in the United States does, I think...
Uh...
He went someways with that, to the point where...
He wasn't tellin' racist jokes on his radio show...
And he did that for a while.
He got a letter from a young black man.
He says "
This is hurtful." and Woody responded immediately, went on and said "
I'm sorry I did it, wasn't thinkin' 'bout it.
It's where I came from.
" And one of the things I think is most important for white folks,
to figure out, it isn't about being perfect,
it isn't about being politically correct,
it's about dealing with the times that you screw it up.
