I have a copy of "Cotton Eyed Joe" recorded by the Sons of the Pioneers in 1936 that has the following lyrics...

Darkie picks the cotton
White man makes the money.

Every time I hear it, it makes me laugh, because it would make the head of any SJW moron explode, while at the same time being a bit of social commentary about the truth of the matter.

Almost reminds me of a couplet from Holiday in Cambodia by punk’s Dead Kennedys

Kiss ass while you bitch so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer off you

(from same song:”braggin’ that you know how the n——rs feel the cold/and the slum’s got so much soul”)
