Stop singing these racist minstrel songs to your children.

And here are ticket sales last year- he sold the second most tickets of any artist and the most of any rapper.

I'm puzzled about why you are invested in pretending he isn't as successful as he clearly is.

They play these tunes on Kahn Academy kids while reading stories to my 5 year okd

Wow those songs were old and on the way out when I was a kid. In the 1950s.

Yes - erase them all; long overdue.

You can’t “erase” songs... it’s a free country and people will sing and say what they want

This song was inspired by Uncle Tom's Cabin, and is generally considered anti-slavery:

So, not really in the same category as the pro-Confederacy "Maryland My Maryland."

I can’t match your level of investment in Eminem. I didn’t even know he was still making music

It really does matter - at least to some of us.

Umm, the lyrics are not racist as they are now. What is your point?

My point is that kids encounter these “traditional” songs in instructional settings. Several have pointed out that kids hearing such songs won’t immediately become racist or be harmed by hearing the songs. My point is that children of color may, indeed, be harmed. What someone listens to for fun is on them. What someone has to listen to for school or music lessons or choir is an issue that I have concerns about.

When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall.
And down will come Baby,
Cradle and all.

Why yes. Yes it is. You've found me out. Let's talk home decorating projects. No Eminem themes.
