I started this and I can't stand to read anymore about it! Black people in my neighborhood and workplace kind of dig me playing my banjo and that is that. I don't sing so there is no problem here. They don't give a shit about White guilt, and I say AMEN! Nobody knows the difference between "Run Nigger Run" and ... well, "Cumberland Gap". "Tater Patch" and "Hello Coon", nobody gives a damn. Singing racial stuff is probably just another non-issue. Catchy tunes from long ago are just too lame to be offensive.
