Feets dont fail me now is a Little Feat song.

I think most people over the age of 18 would realize the phrase was not originated in a Little Feat song.

Have to bump that by a few years. "Feats Don't Fail Me Now" was released in 1990. That would make an 18-yo 2 when it was released.

That being said, "Feets don't fail me now" is a racist statement for anyone who knows about early Amos n Andy and the like.

I am well over 18, and although I have heard the phrase, did not connect it to either a racial slur, or a song. I had no idea of the context at all.

I'm 43 years old and I never realized that this phrase was once considered racist. Then again, I never got the "Sambo" thing either.

It's been a good forty years now since racism was a major force in our society. I think it's time we all just learned to get over it.
