I can't recall any UK folk songs with anti black sentiments but I now there are anti Jewish and gypsy songs. I suppose that's because slavery had less effect on the UK (apart from the vast profits of the trade itself of cause), though I think that London and Liverpool had quite large black populations in the 18th century. changing the subject slightly, we had a TV series over here in the 60's 70's and possibly 80's, called the "black and white minstrel show" which as a kid I hated (not for PC reasons, just cos it was crap). I later found out that in the old black and white TV days they actually used blue and yellow makeup. I've also heard that some black artists in the US who weren't considered dark enough also used makeup. all the best pp.
