The video for "Strong White Male" was shot by David Lester during the 1987 Black Wedge tour. The song appears on Mecca Normal's 7" single Oh Yes You Can!, which was released on K Records in 1987. The Black Wedge was a tour of activist resistance culture organized by Jean Smith, which set out to "spread the word of how to combine poetry, music and politics and have a fun time doing it." The tour was an anti-authoritarian response to Britain's earlier Red Wedge, and began on the West Coast in 1986 before continuing across Canada in 1987. The performers included Vancouver's Mecca Normal, San Francisco's Peter Plate, Montreal's Rhythm Activism and Toronto artists Bryan James and Mourning Sickness.
