Well there are plenty of songs praising Dixie and the War, do you remove all, along with any historical vestige?

You see this is where what seems a very simple matter becomes a very complicated one....where do you draw the line.

I'm studying whaling songs at present, whaling has been outlawed almost everywhere and the ships and men who preyed upon the schools are demonised.....do we proscribe all songs about whaling?
In Scotland we have a large number of anti English historical songs, are they too to be banned as Racist?
