If there is one good thing out of such songs, it is that it tells us how far we have come as a society ... Like I said, I play songs that I like and I don't like those songs so I don't and would not play them. But for those who do, it does remind us that we came a long way since then and still have a ways to go to accept people as people and not based on color or nationality.

I was looking at an old farm magazine from 1890's. The help wanted ads in the back .." looking for experienced farm hands, Irish need not apply"

all part of history and all teaching us that we came a long way since then
