I woke up White Today

November 21, 2008 by elenamary

Let’s say you are a Mirish Xicana, wanna be hip blogger and you are dating a man, a black man (which may or may not be relevant) who sends you a text message that he just heard a song that reminded him of you.  The lyrics he selects to send you in the text are as follows:

“I woke up white today and everything went right today.  I woke up white today and everything was A-ok.  I woke up Caucasian had a realization…”

How exactly do you take this hypothetical text message as the cool Ohio Pseudo-White-Latina that you are?

Below is a link to the song…it is actually a really good poppy punk song.

Woke Up White – Imani Coppola

    You take it philosophically. I haven’t downloaded any Imani Coppola, but I know she’s Italian and black, so this song basically is reflecting the fact that she woke up white today, and all that infers.
