Racially Yours is an album recorded by the band The Frogs. It was recorded 1991, however Homestead Records refused to release it, because of its controversial subject matter.[citation needed] After much delay, it was released in 2000 on Four Alarm Records, with a sticker proclaiming "the most controversial album of all time".[citation needed]

Unlike the sexually-charged and comedic material on It's Only Right and Natural and My Daughter the Broad, Racially Yours focuses on subjects such as American racism, genocide and patriotism. The songs are sung from the point of view of both African Americans and white Americans, and the lyrics are equally serious as they are satirical. In the song "Blackman, Blackman", Dennis Flemion quips, "a black man's heaven is a white man's hell". In "The Flag", the singer urges, "brother, let's make the flag red, white and black".
