i'm not quite sure what you're trying to say. i suspect your a modern day anti-semite who doesnt understand how right and brave it was of janis ian to say it so well when she did

Well actually im a post-modern anti-semite...politically i just think theres a big difference between if she had been white and sung this song instead of jewish like say israel's laws against intermarriage between jews and gentiles?

brilliant song, appropriate forty odd years later.
reminds me of obama's mother. hey everyone, get out and vote! obama/biden '08!

wow, i would have had no idea what this song is about if it weren't for you guys, thanks!

LOL luco1488. You are so right!! I wonder if their school was a yeshiva? NOT!
I doubt she wrote this song when she was 16 and then went on to supposedly write the song "At 17" which is about being rejected by tall blonds. What a load of jewish crap!! Bob Dylan race baiting with a twat, it is!!!
No makingsense53. I ... ( 1 week ago by rvasquez1986)
No makingsense53. I think the blacks should get all of the jews money!! Afterall, jews brought blacks to America as slaves, then later started the scam movements which kept blacks in poverty. The whole time sucking the wealth out of the middle class. Now the jews can give all of their money to blacks.
Not likely, since Barack Obama was put into office by jews. I noticed his Chief of Staff will be Rahm Emanuel. Life imitating Hollywood (think of show West Wing)? Or is it one and the same now?
Wow! I've beleive ... ( 1 week ago by makingsense53)
Wow! I've beleive there were a lot of different nationalities and ethnic groups involved in the slave trade. To single out the Jews is a little creepy. Obama has been elected President of The USA. People all over the world are celebrating with the hope that Obama will lead America from the previous administrations direction of hate, divission and destruction to a new direction of love and compassion. I hope you'll join us. Peace.
The problem is ... ( 1 week ago by rvasquez1986)
The problem is makingsense53, you support the continuation of Affirmative Action and Contract Set-Asides. This is nothing more than racial discrimination of white people in hiring, promotions, school admissions, awarding of contracts. Funny thing about evil liberals (coached by jews) is that anytime a white objects to these discriminatory practices, he is shouted down as trailer park white trash racist.
There can only be an end to racial discrimination if ALL racial discrimination is ended.

I agree all racial ... ( 1 week ago by makingsense53)
I agree all racial discrimination should be ended, as well as putting obsolete labels on one another such as "liberal" and "conservative". If we lived in a perfect world and the playing field was perfectly level there would be no need for "affirmative action". Peace.
So what are you ... ( 1 week ago by rvasquez1986)
So what are you saying makingsense53? That the whites living in trailer parks and poor working class neighborhoods, who are refused admittance to colleges in favor of a nonwhite with worse grades are somehow oppressing nonwhites? Are these poor whites who fail to get hired or promoted, because their job or promotion was handed to a lower qualified white somehow oppressing nonwhites?
The ONLY way to level the playing field is to end Affirmative Action. Stop discriminating against whites.

With policies like Affirmative Action and Contract Set-Asides, you aren't trying to level the playing field. You are trying to fix the game and level the score!!!
This crap WON'T last forever, trust me! A black President proves that a black man from humble beginnings can make it to the highest office if he applies himself.

I aggree Affirmative Action and Welfare is like putting a bandaid on an gaping flesh wound, but what is your solution?

i so glad janice is stil alive
yes jesse jackson and al shapton and the race baiters are out of a job
What is my solution ... ( 1 week ago by rvasquez1986)
What is my solution makingsense53? Easy.
1)End the Federal Reserve so our government can begin issuing its own currency, as our founders intended. This would eliminate our state of being in constant debt to these private jewish bankers who wish to make us permanent slaves. 2)Federal Government should ensure equal amounts are spent in K
-12 education for all races. 3)End Affirmative Action and Contract Set-Asides. Outlaw racial discrimination of all types, with strict penalties.

Funny autozonesucks. I sort of thought that maybe Jesse was crying because he could be out of a job. LOL
Now you're ... ( 1 week ago by makingsense53)
Now you're makingsence. Most Americans think The Federal Reserve is a US government organization and don't know that it is a private corporation run by the central bankers of Europe and that the Federal Resrve, which is our central bank, cannot be audited by the US governement because it is a private corporation.

I saw Janis on PBS a week or so ago. I'd completely forgotten about this song, it had been so long since I'd heard it. One of my very favorites by her. An absolute legend and still singing. You go Janis!
I remember my mom ... ( 1 week ago by tiner27)
I remember my mom buying me "Society's Child" the album in 1967. I was 7 years old and enthralled with the passion and talent of Janis Ian. When I first heard this song it made me cry because it was sad that people's prejudices were so apparent. Brava, Janis for writing such an important and timeless song!
She was 14 when she ... ( 1 week ago by scotpens)
She was 14 when she wrote the song, actually. Jesus Christ, when I was that age, I was watching Star Trek, building models and jerking off a lot. Well, we can't all be prodigies, can we?
Awesome, Thanks !!! ( 1 day ago by kukubau)
