'Daniel Boone was a man,
he was a big man
But the bear was bigger
so he ran like a nigger up a tree.'
Obviously I don't approve of shit like this but forgetting seems to be almost as much of a crime as the original racism. Remembrance is the key to prevention.

I laughed often while singing this as a kid. Extra points if you watched the TV show that this theme song is from.

Every game of "tag" or "kick the cans" began with this ditty:
"Eenie, meenie, minie mo.
Catch a nigger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go.
My mo-ther told me to
pick the very best one
and i choose YOU."
Dad's favorite diddi:
Rastus! Rastus!
How many chickens did you steal?
Two last night.
Two night before
Goin' back tonight
To get two more
Playing the original "Uncle Wiggily" board game and reading Brer Rabbit & Tar Baby at my MaMaws.
Never mind my mom, an educator for over 40 years, time and again made it clear: Of the hundreds of students matriculating through her classes the smartest was a young lady who happened to be "colored" (black). I grew up NEVER making judgements based on race. If calling bullshit on/holding a differing opinion/political philosophy from someone who happens to be black/brown/minority is construed as racism, it's going to be a rough ride until this is all sorted out.
