If you want to continue this long knock about argument I guess you will.

If you want to understand the origins and evolution of "Border Morris" plenty of historic and scholarly evidence has been posted above.

I simply ask people to consider the evidence and think about what other people think about white people 'blacking up'.

Two things are beyond doubt:
1. Some of us are uneasy and some of us are offended
2. "Border Morris" sides have been willing to change almost anything and they have created a very exciting version of The Morris.
