Subject: RE: Padstow Darkie Days
Where will this leave Rochester Sweeps Festival? The tradition there is Blackface, but it's all about Chimney Sweeps getting black from the soot. I'm sorry, I believe we need tolerance in this world right now, and jumping on peoples customs is intolerance. Why not pick on The British National Party? Now they really are racists and bigots, not these people in Padstow, or in Bacup, or in Rochester.
