Thread Name: Baptist Sunday School words offensive?
Subject: RE: Baptist Sunday School words offensive?
Thanks for that link, Q.
Interesting to compare the mid-19th C. Baptist hymns with the ones I grew up hearing and singing in the mid-20th C and those that are most popular now. At least one of those 19th C. hymns is still sung, sans the chorus, in many Baptist churches.

As for making the words to this old racist song more appropriate for Baptists, I'd say all you need do is change "razor blades" to "dancing shoes." Should work just fine!
