In Steven Blush's book American Hardcore: A Tribal History, Iam MacKaye comments on this song. He says it is about his life growing up in DC, where HE was the minority. During history class, while studying the slave trade, he would be beaten up after class for something he had no part of. Also, Slayer covered this song, but they changed the last line to "guilty of being right!" which offended Ian with it's pretty blatant racism. Well, that's all for now.
