Well, yes, but it's ironic because it is portraying America as a great land and an amazing place to live, when the Africans only purpose is to become slaves.

is it even meant to be ironic, isn't it just meant to be slave traders trying to convince africans to come with them to America where they will be sold as slaves

Actually, it's an ironic take on slavery.

I suspect it is an ironic take on negro spirituals.

Is it true Randy won't perform this song anymore? We went to see him Sat night and he didn't do it. As we were walking out, some guy said Randy regretted writing the song and vowed to never perform it again.

that slave wrangler was right, if we never brought those africans to our country, they would still be over there suffering from AIDS and starvation right now, NTM we wouldnt have any of our beloved african american friends
