We danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairsMr. Bojangles is his greatest contribution of art to the world. It's a legit all-time great classic across all genres.

Buy/Sell--Given the reference to Minstrel Shows in Mr. Bojangles, should it be banned from the airways; does the reference discredit it so that it should not be #1; is JJW a racist for writing it?
I like the song a lot and I am joking as to asking for a B/S on this. I also know there are explanations and contexts of the use of the word minstrel in this song that make it not racist.
I do think, however, one could make an argument it might be racist, and if I was a professor at an acclaimed university I could argue in such a manner that I think I could stir up a racist backlash among students regarding the song.
