They're excellent and should be supported to continue their dancing. I seem to remember that 'objections' to one of their events were in fact on behalf of the Local Authority who were merely concerned about spectators standing in the road and risking an accident. My husband's black and has seen them on TV. He thinks they're great and doesn't see anything racist in their costumes or dance. Neither has he ever felt uncomfortable about 'blacked-up' Morris dancers, and has even danced with some of them at Sheringham and Wittlesea, after being kindly invited to join in! If black people don't care a pin why should anyone else?
