Wait a minute........Old Mick just reread Kat's position. While I certainly don't feel the need to be chastised, I see her point. She is not asking for it to be taken off the page (Are you?) rather just to have some kind of modifier. I still don't think it is necessary though. Any thoughtful person would pull it up and see what it is about. If they don't take that step at least then I don't think we have to worry about it.

And as far as the patronizing comment, Kat, I would ask you why you haven't invited your many friends "of color" to join in? Maybe that would be a substantive way to make a difference, instead of your rather insulting comment. I would love to hear a person of African descent tell me about this song and how it strikes them historically and in modern times
