Considering Charles Thompson the III had a penchant for writing songs with ethnocentric caricatures: fumanchus, mexican maids, cholitas with tattooed tits, means this song probably IS about a white or lighter-skinned /lighter-caste girl wanting to get fucked by a big black stud. Whether or not you read this song as being about liberation in the same way Hanoi Jane is being liberated by those hot black panthers in Sonic Youth's cool thing or whether you think Black Francis is just another privelaged white crooner in the long standing tradition of Minstrelsy we call Rock and Roll is totally up to you. I love the pixies for their atmospheric pandering, but I don't see myself seeking spiritual or moral guidance anytime soon from some round-limbed, screeching man-child.

Kim Deal wrote this song. ... And by the way, just because you said Frank Black's full name doesn't make your comment smart. xD
