Subject: RE: BS: Mummers and Rascism
It doesn't matter that they aren't the saem thing, McGrath. What matters is how the blacking up of mummers faces is perceived by Britain's black population.


As I said, mummers SHOULD take into account how British blacks feel when they see the mummers in blackface, and not do it. Period. And they should not do it out of consideration for Britain's black minorities.
