Whose past is more racist: Kate Smith's or the New York Yankees'?

It was a hit. You’ve got to wonder why one of the contemporary divas hasn’t come out with a modern rendition of “Pickaninny Heaven”. Come on, Taylor Swift.

They probably think I should hang my head in shame. My Senior year in High School, 1949, we put on a Minstrel Show. Some of the guys were in blackface. I was Mr. Interlocutor, a "white" role. I sang a solo, the chorus sang several numbers, including Old Man River. and the guys in blackface cracked black-oriented jokes. All in innocent fun then, but very un-PC by today's standards.

The Yankees also signed the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework, so they’ve got that going for themselves as well.

Many schools have also banned the teaching of “Huckleberry Finn” because they consider the novel racist, even though it’s the greatest story of an interracial friendship in history.

So Mark Twain has joined Kate Smith on the modern Leftist funeral pyre, where reputations are burned as often as books were once burned in Nazi Germany.

But those interested in learning the truth about racism in America should visit northern Civil War graveyards where 620,000 dead union soldiers were buried after giving their lives to free African-American slaves from tyranny...so that today those slaves’ descendants, from Al Sharpton to Maxine Waters to any mean-spirited, ignorant Black with a microphone, are free to make fools of themselves by attacking America’s greatest singers, novels, writers, presidents, whatever.

That says it all, and I am not surprised that she said it.

New York Yankees. Offensive to Southerners. LOL.

The "620,000" figure should include all dead from the American Civil War, both Northern and Southern casualties.

Just sayin'
