Steve - I thought you'd had your final say? The content of your reply makes you look worse, not better. As has been amply discussed by several posters, those are absolutely not my words to use. Frankly, I would deservedly be disciplined or fined if my employer found me writing them on the (especially if defending their deploymemt!). And that is no privation!

Sad to see you've not engaged with any of the very salient points that SRS makes, nor the point about Robeson apparently not getting your memo about protecting the 'fidelity' of the song's racist language, despite your efforts to use him as some sort of cover.
