Black Dick

this is a comment Jamie made on xiuxiu.org:

"note: to my astonishment and disappointment at the raw dumbness of some people, there has been mention of this song being racist. if you don’t think it is, please do not demean yourself by continuing to read this. if you do, here is a hand holding and knuckle heads explanation.

(imagine this is a slow and very clear voice) this is a song about-

being fetishized, fetishizing other people, enjoying the power of being a sexual object, wondering if that is good for you, enjoying the thrill of finding an ultra specific desire, wondering if that is acceptable, feeling ashamed of one’s body, feeling love for the desirability of one’s own body, feeling ashamed for objectifying a person’s body part, feeling fulfilled by someone who is cranked up by being objectified, feeling fulfilled by someone objectifying you in the bedroom, being proud of who you are, being afraid of what you want, being unafraid of what you want, considering, all the while, is this good or bad and not knowing if you care?"

hope it helps

There is always a duality in sex, one part juxtaposes against the other.

"Black dick on the table One ball like a skull The other ball like a bald baby" The testicle that is like a skull is as dead as the skull is, it is inanimate without flesh around it and is as 'empty' as the skull is. It is a statement for the hollow pleasure of solo masturbation. The other testicle is a bald baby, fresh and naive and full of life and vibrancy. This testicle symbolizes the fullness and beauty of making love with another, like a mother suckling her baby.

"White ass on the night-stand One cheek like Jesus The other cheek like Jesús" One of the cheeks loves anal like Jesus loves Man. It is holy and powerful and is as intimate as a prayer, as miraculous as walking on water and as selfless as dying on the cross. The other cheek however appears to be of Latino/Hispanic descent as Jesús is a common first name among the Latino/Hispanic population. We should assume that Jesús is Mexican as Xiu Xiu are from an area with a large mexican community. This mexican buttock keeps to traditional sexual endeavours of his own mexican culture and doesn't like to risk internal bleeding or rectal prolapse. Jesús looks across the river at Jesus having fun and wishes that he would try it, to jump the sexual border.

"Yellow titties on the bureau One nipple- a volcano on fire The other nipple- baking soda (Put it out!)" One of the nipples enjoys pain and is extremely stimulated like a volcano on fire. The other is 'basic', both literally and chemically as baking soda (aka sodium bicarbonate) has a pH>7. Now baking soda does undergo neutralisation with an acid and a bubbly and intense reaction occurs. This basic nipple doesn't enjoy stimulation at all but under the right conditions with the right reactant/lover it will warm to the idea of experimentation. This nipple (base) wants to bond with someone (acid) to experience the explosive power of fondling.

"Brown pussy on a racecar One thrust turns the key The other thrust releases the brakes" A woman's vagina requires more than just one thrust to be turned on and get it going. This verse isn't about a duality. It is commentary on the sophisticated and complex system of female arousal. Many may think that a penis will always make a girl happy, but the woman wants more than the monotonous rhythm of a piston sliding into a cylinder. The man operates a rotary engine but the woman desires a four stroke engine. This verse is about the woman not always getting what she deserves. Xiu Xiu really show their feminism in this verse.

Notice how every verse begins with a different colour of genitalia or erotic organ "black dick", "white ass", "yellow titties", "brown pussy". This brings attention to how we classify pornography and sexual encounters by what race the partner is. Maybe this is because a japanese feels different to a german and each race has a unique coital style that should be celebrated. Or maybe it is because we are racist and we don't see each other as human beings but as sub-species of the human genus. It is ambiguous to whether we celebrate other races or segregate them, both options antithesising the other, almost juxtaposing.

The use of furniture in the lyrics is very interesting also. It goes "table", "nightstand", "bureau" and then "racecar"; the former three being forms of tables where you put things on and the latter being a performance automobile. This could be another reference to the racial differences in sex. The black dick rests on the table being ready for use whenever someone picks it up. The white (possibly latino) ass rests on the nightstand next to the bed as common and easily replaceable as a lamp; white ass is nothing special but it is useful and quite pleasant. The yellow titties rest on a bureau, which is a writing desk. Only the artist and the intellectual can handle the asian woman/tranny and the writer has dominion over her/he/it like a pen to the paper. The artist molds the asian into whatever they desire. The black woman however is a very complicated piece of machinery and very dangerous in the wrong hands. Inexperienced users of the black pussy might die in a violent collision. Drivers with much training and practice can touch her. The black woman is most prized and is the trophy of intercourse as she rips up unworthy riders like an unbroken stallion. The black woman is difficult to replace and easily angered.

The song repeatedly chants black dick like a mantra. The negro penis is the most talked about and most revered penis, almost mythical for is length and girth. Xiu Xiu is making a statement about how important it is in our lives to have a large penis and how stupid we are for doing so. The end of the song removes the black from black dick as a conclusion that our worth isn't determined by our race or dick size but by who we are on the inside.

The music video was posted on pornhub and features adorable cats and shemale and regular pornography. More bloody juxtaposition there.

tl;dr this song is about fuck knows what
