Thread Name: Black-faced Morris dancers
Subject: RE: Black-faced Morris dancers
An interesting question Guest Punkfolkrocker, I suspect the answer is not very well, but mainly because Notting Hill is a Carribean festival and morris of any description would be completely out of place.

I am very much of the opinion that any inteligent person of afro-carribean origins would not be offended by blacked up morris dancers, as I believe they would show respect for the traditions of the country they live, and may well have been born in. those that do not, are perhaps guilty of being racist themselves,
