[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP is white, boy I'd be ticked off if I were black, for focusing on something so stupid and minute.

If OP is black, again, you're going to turn people away from the important stuff by picking apart something 99% of any color people have no idea is even a thing.[/quote]

+1,

+ who the hell is singing these songs, anyway? I had to look them all up and only recognized a couple.[/quote]
  :lol: 
I was also wondering who sings these songs regularly. “I’ve Benen Working on the Railroad” and the like aren’t songs I think of, let alone sing frequently. [/quote]

Same here.  Maybe my kids heard them at school but I've always found kids' songs to be sort of annoying so at home we listen to real songs and sing that.[/quote]

Unless it’s changed since my teen was a toddler, several of these songs are in the Music Together curriculum. [/quote]

It has changed.  Music Together Has removed these songs and has established a song advisory board to review content.  I teach Music Together classes.[/quote]

Did you read the article written by the black musician about this music?[/quote]
