Thread Name: Calling time on Blackface Morris
Subject: RE: Calling time on Blackface Morris
Has anyone dared mention that much of this British trad dance
being so chauvinistically defended on principle,
is probably shite entertainment and art...

Which most normal sensible folks don't care exists..

Even many of the far right who have newly rallied to the cause of protecting blackface morris,
might have to admit it was crap if they were forced to watch it sober...

Get real, you few cranky agitators for blacking up...!!!

The best morris sides, which elevate our trad dance to an artform,
do not need to depend on the dubious politics of blackface...

..and even then British folk dance is quite dull compared to the best from other Nations and Races...
