I thought about this because I recently came across a song titled Ship Those ******s Back which I thought was sung by Johnny Cash. Because I understood the possibility of it being a parody, I listened to it and was waiting for the punchline. But it seemed straightforward. The message was: ??America for the whites, Africa for the blacks?. Now that didn??t sound right.

But unlike others who are quick to judge, I did my research. If he were my friend and alive, I would have asked him. I knew Johnny Cash??s songs well and I know that he devoted one whole album to the plight of the Native Americans. How could he write a racist song (which didn??t appear to be an irony) knowing the values he stands for?

True enough, I found the answer. The song was written by Odis and the 3 Bigots but was repeatedly mistaken to be by Johnny Cash or this other man called Johnny Rebel. Someone with better knowledge should know, but the bottom line is, it wasn??t Johnny Cash, and I??m not surprised because he??s not capable of such indecency.
