While I understand AND respect Kat's views, I must say "Well spoken Mr. Hindsill!" It is not right to try to rewrite history or try to ignore it in hopes that it will go away. By learning our history, understanding what it meant at the time it was current we are able to relate it to the feelings of today's society and hopefully prevent the same mistakes from being repeated. I am not saying just one group of people but ALL people should learn and work together to make this happen. Kat, I love and respect your opinion, but you must see, I'm sure, that to avoid our forefather's mistakes we must know what those mistakes were. If words in songs can teach us these things, then let us learn all learn from them together. White, Black, Red, Yellow...ALL of US....TOGETHER as ONE
