Just to add a bit of fuel, how do folks that are offended by Foster's "darkies" react to Henry Clay Work's "Year of the Jubilo" and "Wake Nicodemus"? By a staunch, effective abolitionist.

I've found that it's virtually impossible to find a song worth singing that dorsn't offend someone . Leave us not get carried away.
