Subject: RE: Folklore: Padstow 'Darkie Days'
Can you accept that combined with afro wigs, nigger songs and the name darkie day it can cause offence?

Can you accept the nigger songs, afro wigs and name was changed because of the offensive nature?

Can you accept that even people who advocate it do not think it suitable to be shown to children who do not live in Padstow?

Can you accept that no city in the UK would tolerate it?

Can you accept that taking into account the South West's racism problems they should be trying to address their problems - if they want to.
