This is pretty much how I feel about the fact that we now have a President Obama.

Who Am I ?
- Knockout Ed
- "..the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second-sight in this American world, a world which yields him no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his twoness, an American, a Negro; two warring souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife, this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self."

What's This About ?

Believe it or not this is also a rugby song that is often sung at beer soaked post match parties. I'd heard the song growing up but I didn't learn the lyrics until I started playing rugby and after my daughter was born it became a song I often sung to her at night. I estimate that I've sung this song (although I learned it with the second and third verses reversed from this version) at least 2,000 times.
That's crazy. An American Negro Spiritual as an English Rugby Song. I LOVE IT. Seriously.
