Subject: RE: Racist songs .... arghhhh!
Why don't we make a start by eradicating the word "Black" from our joint language altogether,in which case nobody at all could ever be offended by it.We could say "Blank" instead,so giving us ;
Johnny Cash--The Man in Blank
"Goldfinger",starring Honor Blankman
"Take Me Back To The Blank Hills" sung by Doris Day
    "The Blank Shield of Falconworth " (Tony Curtis film)
         "Blank Eyed Susan"
                               And loads more.
    Yellow could be "Jellow" of course :-
         The Jellow Rose of Texas
                         Jellow River
    They Call Me Mellow Jellow
and so on----it's just a thought.
                                  Next time I sing "Johnny Come Down To Hilo", I will,if you like,sing " I never seen the like,since I been born,a big buck FRIGGER with the sea-boots on ",if it will help to avoid an international incident   !!
