I sing this one in my home in the politically incorrect version. I also sing "Mammie's Little Coal Black Rose". I grew up on these songs and love them.. Pickaninny, coon, kinky hair - the songs were written as lullabies not insults and as lullabies, I sing them.

Keep in mind, my grandparent's faced the "No Irish Need Apply" signs. My son is Hispanic and I can tell horror tales of discrimination which disappeared when his middle-class white mother showed up. I am not insensitive to others' concerns.
