Subject: RE: Help: 'Coon Songs' Your Thoughts About Them
Egads! Mickey Mouse is racist? What about Mighty Mouse? Are they perhaps the ying and yang of mousedom? Why can't they just be mice like most folks (well, ok, like I presume most folks) thought they were. All these chinks (as in dents or nicks or flecks of concrete, etc.; no racial slur intended) in the Pillars of Society make this Irish-American want a drink (sorry, no stereotyping intended). I cry out for a pint of the black (merely a measure of opacity, no secret racial slur intended) stuff in my anguish over the deluge (sorry, no anti-biblical undertones intended) of masculine (sorry, no sexism intended) bovine (sorry, nothing against either cattle or vegans) fibrous excreta (sorry, don't wish to offend anyone with certain fetishes) known in the contemporary vernacular as political correctness. Hmm, maybe one of our more creative members might come up with a few new lines for the "Silly Slang Song".
