Susan,

You misinterpreted what I said. I'm talking about the types of performances both you and Butch seem to be doing of minstrel songs.

It is your choice to perform these songs, no matter how you have sanitized them. You know how divisive and offensive they are, so you shouldn't be indignant when people have strong negative reactions to your performance of them, and say so.

I would also add, a lot of people will say nothing directly to you directly after a performance of these songs, but they may well say plenty about you and your performance to others after the fact.
