I read that thread and I 'heard' what you were saying. And I'm delighted to still hear it now.
I appreciate what you have written about White song collectors and the important role that they played in preserving folk songs which originated from or were largely attributed to Black people and other people of color.
If these song collectors had given real credit and real money to those early performers, I could appreciate and respect them more.
Oh well, that was then and this is now, and unfortunately there is alot of then goin on now.
As to Uncle Remus being a positive image of Black men, I never would have thought it.
