TV on the Radio – The Wrong Way Lyrics 12 years ago
I think Ego tripping and acid rain could not be more incorrect in their analysis. This song is also about White cultures misunderstanding of back culture, as well as the unwillingness to want to learn or accept the culture.

The narrator is not taking on the roles mentioned in the song. He is very clearly rejecting them with out trying them on. He does not need to try the roles because he finds them racist and disgusting upon first glance. The racism of lowered expectations is obvious and he will not conform.
