Because racists have tried to hijack Morris’s why are we dropping blacking up if it was done for whatever reasons it has become tradition very much like Notting hill carnival the people of that area celebrate their culture why can’t we celebrate our culture .             Obviously we have not started on mumming yet and then there is regional carols who are us tradionlists / folkies going to upset there. Next you will be telling me I can’t play Irish tunes on my English concertina . The world is a big place and I have done a fair bit of travelling I have learnt loads from people I have met and hopefully they have learnt from me
