History should be remembered as it really was, not how we want to sugarcoat it today. These songs may not be politically correct by today's standards, but they tell of a real time, when slaves worked on plantations & the patrollers (Pattyrollers) checked them to be sure they had proper passes to be off the plantations, & if not, enforce the consequences. Old songs shouldn't be lost & everyone whether they are white, black, purple or green, should try to ensure they are not. Let's tell all our history - the good & the bad, the funny and the sad. Let's not rewrite what was, let's not glorify slavery but let's not pretend it didn't exist either. Just appreciate this for it's heritage & historical significance.
