Johnny in OKC Songs whose emphasis or meaning changed (12) RE: Origins: songs whose emphasis or meaning changed 17 Mar 04

All those Stephen Foster songs about DARKIES
are being taken the wrong way.

At the time, "darkie" was a term of sympathy,
if not respect. Foster was an abolitionist.

Love, Johnny
