@freemo Also Uncle Ben. Additionally, is Claude Debussy in danger re 'Golliwogs Cakewalk'? My late Guyanese wife was black but given a golly by an aunt in the early 1930s as a toy which she loved. When I came out to Symi I brought it with me (I had to put a explanatory note in the luggage as I didn't want people pulling it apart looking for suspected cocaine!). I regard myself as an anti-racist and even woke, but there are difficult hermeneutical issues about interpreting the past. We need to learn from the past, not try to erase it. However, most of all we need to ensure that all people are treated equally in the present and in the future.
