Subject: RE: Are racist, but traditional, songs OK?
I also think the fundamental problem with this thread (aside from the fact someone will refresh it again, so some of us, perhaps Dick, with have an opportunity to say the same things all over) is that I don't believe we agree on what a "racist" song is. Some folks here seem to think it's a song that merely mentions race (Black Girl), and some folks (I'm one) think it's what's said, or implied, about people. Then you get into whether it's really implied or not, and whether mentioning race is implying something, and on and on.
Yep, it'll be back in another 10 years.
