Nobody suggested blacking up should be introduced into the local school programme - it was asked whether the exponents of it would feel comfortable doing so. If an exponent of it would not feel comfortable doing so, why would they not feel comfortable doing so? Afterall we are being told it is part of our heritage worth preserving , so why should it not be taught and celebrated? Could it be for the same reason that the name has been changed and the afro wigs dropped? Because it causes offence. Seeing as no one has yet been able to answer this question we can only speculate.
