Subject: RE: Is 'black as any moor' acceptable?
To my mind there is a big debate about what to do about things that were once acceptable but no longer are. If we allow them to be expunged from memory then we risk losing what lessons can be learnt from them. This applies to folk songs, statues of proffiteers from the slave trade and many other subjects.
Can we switch between an entertainment mind set and a historic lecture mind set?
