Well regardless, it would be nice to see it fall to the bottom. Historical or not, I hate seeing that word near the top almost everyday when I come here. Couldn't the title at least be "Run, N**ger, Run*? Or noted that it is a spiritual as Susan mentioned?

There needs to be some way to designate IN THE TITLE of the THREAD, that it is historical and NOT some contemporary racist thread. I cannot imagine what my son-in-law NOR the people I just invited in here, who are of many colours, will think when they see this one coming up. I doubt they'd even want to stay to understand.

BTW, the only reason I am saying any of this, is I've been dismayed ever since I saw this one come back up and I finally decided to come in and see why.
