Les in Chorlton Bacup Nuters and Racism (154* d) RE: Bacup Nuters and Racism 25 Apr 14

Well, having read all the posts on here it looks like The BCND have there feet fairly well planted in Lancashire in the middle of the 19C. And it looks to me like an influence from Blackface Minstrelsy is considerably more likely than some idea of disguise from ealy folk customs.

Are they racist. I don't think so. But some people are made uncomfortable and some are offended by this practice in a public entertainment.

Will the BCND or the Border Morris know or care of our discussion? Almost certainly not.
