I think the crux of the matter is the (perhaps) unfortune title "darkie days!"..Putting on a black face, ergo; Border Morris, Coconut dance, Mummers Plays have no relevance to racism. It is and always was purely to disguise / "to be unrecognisable". all Padtoww have to do to escape the Racism Police is to (slightly) rethink the name of the day...then (almost) EVERYONE will be happy!
