Slavery atonement

For all of you youngsters, Kate Smith was a popular singer back in my youth and she is currently being castigated for some hit songs she recorded. They include racially sensitive lyrics with words like darkies. She did not write these songs and one of them was also recorded by Paul Robson a famous black singer. She made many trips during the war entertaining the troops and help to sell $600 million in US bonds for the war effort. Maybe those who wrote these songs along with those who prepared the records and those radio stations that played them should also be called on the carpet. Don't forget all of those fans who enjoyed listening to these songs. Some reasonableness must be applied to attempts to right the wrongs of slavery.
