Thread Name: Black-faced Morris dancers
Subject: RE: Black-faced Morris dancers
We had a black American staying with us at a folk festival,she was not offended by black face Morris. We explained there where many theories and pick the one that suited, she thought it highly amusing that if she danced she could paint her face white and no one would know it was her. I suspect all the people contribute here are white and need to get a life there are more important things out there other than Morris men blacking up it is not racist apart from those that want to make it.
