No. All of it needs to end. There is not a percentage of institutional racism that we should have to tolerate for your comfort. And it wouldn't be harping if you'd just give it up already.

I agree. Do your part by not listening to or buying any and all songs that use racist language. So many popular songs have the n word for instance. Don't enable those songs by listening to or paying for them.

It's gotta be scary watching the world change before your very eyes, knowing the time for racists like you is quickly coming to an end. I pity you.

It's white kids who made these modern artists rich. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

And you shouldn't. This conversation has people shaming and bullying others over songs they share. If these songs are harming children, show some evidence. Dusting off a song sheet from the 1800s to accuse people of being racist is not evidence.

I can’t get all frothed up about songs that were sanitized 100 years ago and have been loved by many generations of children since then. If they hadn’t been sanitized, sure.

DP, these songs are still taught to children in schools and camps.

They haven’t been sanitized. The racist imagery is still there.

And ps: Bluntly telling people what to do isn’t an effective way to influence them.

What should we do about all the songs people sing that have misogynistic lyrics? They are also hurtful to a very large group of our fellow humans.

About the same as sexual imagery is still there in Little Red Riding Hood? Gory death in Ring around the Rosie?

Again, can’t get worked up about it. There is nothing racist or sexual about these songs and stories that little kids could possibly pick up on.

Darlin Clementine, though- there’s an explicit tale of child neglect.

Queue the round of applause.
+1

If you agree with PP, you want to cue the applause. If you're unsure I guess you could queue the applause while you think about it.
