They should just get Ralph Northam to sing it in blackface.

If anyone is interested, here’s a superfecta bet that carries a lot of interesting symbolism for the world we live in today:

Controversial like Kate Smith was so controversial because she happened to sing, not compose or write, a 1930s Broadway song that was so racist that black Communist Paul Robson ALSO recorded it! Kate Smith’s statue removed from the Philadelphia Flyers home and her rendition of “God Bless America” no longer played there or at Yankee Stadium’s 7th Inning Stretch!
Controversial is code for being in the gunsights of the cancel culture marching moron mob!

Why do we always let the other side decide what is “controversial?”
To: ConservativeStatement
Controversial
According to whom?
To: ConservativeStatement
I see that we both had the instant thought about “controversial” Kate Smith! Just plain unreal!

***criticized for romanticizing the antebellum south***
And Kentucky remained in the UNION as a Slave State, as did four other slave states.

Communists are swooning over this - another American institution/tradition in the process of being torn down.

Grew up in Louisville, and now, retired here. I will forever sing the original version. It is in my genes.

The Dixie Stakes was originally called the Dinner Party Stakes.
It is the first stake run at Pimlico, named for the “dinner party” at Saratoga that spawned the track.
Preakness was the first winner, and hence was the big 3yo stake to be named.
So, it’s not a huge loss to go back to history.
But then, they’ll probably find that some of the financiers had slaves....

Mike Tirico say Breanna Taylor “was murdered.” Is this accurate?

The antebellum South (well, before the
last had much to recommend it. I've read several biographies. Why does the idiot media only focus on ONE thing about the antebellum South? Ancient Rome had slavery, too, and it still had much to recommend it.
Never mind, I know why. They wish to destroy America.
