Interesting indeed, Guest Donohue, to hear that there are still people abroad, like your Dad (God bless him) who either don't realise or give a shit, when they give gratuitous offence.
Racism engendered songs such as this in attempts to justify the treatment meted out to those who were to be exploited and kept down. I'm happy to be able to inform you that they proved unsuccessful.
