The document discusses the treatment of racial minorities in America during the Gilded Age, including African Americans, Chinese, and Native Americans. It covers topics like the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision that legalized racial segregation, discrimination against Chinese immigrants through exclusionary laws and racist attitudes, and the subjugation and massacres of Native American tribes such as at Wounded Knee. It suggests racism was widespread and embedded in American society and government policies during this time period.

Buffalo Soldier, dreadlock Rasta
There was a Buffalo Soldier
In the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
I mean it, when I analyze these things
To me, it makes a lot of sense
How the dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo
Soldier
And he was taken from Africa, brought to
America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, dreadlock
Rasta
Buffalo Soldier, in the heart of America
If you know your history
Then you would know where you coming
from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Who the heck do I think I am
I'm just a Buffalo Soldier
In the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Said he was fighting on arrival
Fighting for survival
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier
Win the war for America

It makes little
difference, however,
where one opens the
record of the history of
the Indians; every
page and every year
has its dark stain.
