I am Cherokee and not white. I have lots of Black friends whom I love and we have discussed these issues. I never said I was speaking for them individually, I was just pointing out deficiencies in our education system and collusion of politicians. I did not say anything negative about my beloved friends and brothers. The question was about the song Dixie whether it was okay to sing it or not.

So let's all stick our heads in the sand and not acknowledge or upset the dark side. Let's be sheeple and not rock the boat. These issues are universal to the human race and our 1st amendment does allow us to talk about these issues. Let's not acknowledge that slavery is still happening today. Let's not acknowledge that our education system is failing our young people. Even John Lennon wrote a song "Women are the [*****] of the World". Is this not okay to sing today?

Enough said. People reveal who they are by their comments.
