Aired 17 October 1971, London, United Kingdom
I asked my momma, I said, ‘Momma, how come everything is white?’ I said, Why is Jesus white with blonde hair and blue eyes? Why is the Lord’s Supper all white men?
Angels are white, Pope, Mary and even the angels.,
I said, ‘Mother, When we die, do we go to heaven?’
She said, ‘Naturally we go to heaven’
I said, ‘What happeend to all the black angels when they took the pictures?’
..
And the angel food cake was the white cake, and the devil food cake was the chocolate cake.
I always wondered .. and the president lived in the White House,
And Mary had a little lamb, his feet as white as snow, and Snow White, and everything was white.
Santa Claus was white.
And everything bad was black.
The little ugly duckling was a black duck. And the black cat was the bad luck. And if I threaten you I’m going to blackmail you.
I said, ‘Mama, why don’t they call it whitemail, they lie too!’
I was always curious, and this is when I knew something was wrong.
