Thread Name: Black-faced Morris dancers
Subject: RE: Black-faced Morris dancers
So what about the question posed earlier then Jack, are Aboriginal dancers with white faces racist, or is that just their tradition?

The blacked up morris dancer is in no way attempting to be insulting to black people, as I said before look at the bigger picture, and then tell me that a morris dancer is attempting to imitate someone of a different ethnic origin. Painting faces is simply part of the kit!
