CHORUS Dead end circuit dead end circuit Dead end circuit Come out of the dead end circuit I man find it hard to survive In dis ya concrete jungle.

Warning: We are talking about racism in this article. There is some offensive language below.A little over a week ago, on the the racist beginnings of the ice cream truck song. The song\'s melody, it turns out, was popularized in antebellum minstrel shows where the lyrics \'parodied a free black man attempting to conform to white high society by dressing in fine clothes and using big words.\' To make matters worse, that song became the basis for an offensive folk song in 1916 titled, \'Nigger Love A Watermelon Ha! Before turning into the melody that beckons ice cream seekers today.For Theodore Johnson III, who wrote the article, knowledge of that history ruined ice cream trucks for him. \' When the reach of racism robs me of fond memories from my childhood, it feels intensely personal again. Whenever I hear the music now, the antique voice laughing about niggers and watermelon fills my head,\' Johnson wrote.Johnson\'s piece got us thinking about the songs like the ice cream truck song — a seemingly innocuous folk song, nursery rhyme, or jingle — that we may not have known were racist, and what we should do when we learn about their histories.

\'Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo\' The words: \' Eenie, meenie, minie mo. Catch an nigger by the toe. If he hollers, let him go. Eenie, meenie, minie mo.\'

\'Catch a negro by his toe/ If he hollers make him pay/Twenty dollars every day.\' The meaning: The meaning of this rhyme is rooted in the slave trade. There\'s an idea that it comes from slave selection or a description of what. It was actually a part of a 2004 lawsuit against Southwest. The black plaintiffs in that case sued the airline for discrimination because a flight attendant had used the rhyme while urging them to take their seats. The, and though they appealed, the. \'Pick a Bale of Cotton\' The words: \'Jump down, turn around, pick a bale of cotton.

Gotta jump down, turn around, Oh, Lordie, pick a bale a day.\' There\'s also another version that goesThe meaning:. The song can be seen as glorifying and poking fun at slave conditions. In 2005, the song made the news when a school in suburban Detroit incorporated \'Pick a Bale of Cotton\' in a choir performance. The officials at Anderson Middle School after a complaint. \'Jimmy Crack Corn\' The words: \' Ol\' massa\'s gone and I\'ll let him rest/ They say all things are for the best/ But I\'ll never forget \'til the day I die\'The meaning: The song is about a slave and the death of his master.

There\'s a point where the slave (who is singing the song) laments for his master, that there is a subtext of the slave rejoicing. Susanna\' (1848)The original lyrics: \' It rain’d all night de day I left, De wedder it was dry, The sun so hot I froze to def.\'

The meaning: The protagonist of the song is an African-American slave who is portrayed as dumb and naive. In the song, the singer can\'t grasp the ideas of temperature and geography. \'Camptown Races\' The original lyrics: \'De Camptown ladies sing dis song — Doo-dah! Doo-dah!/ I come down dah wid my hat caved in — Doo-dah! Doo-dah!/ I go back home wid a pocket full of tin - Oh! Doo-dah day!\' The meaning: The vocabulary used by lyricist Stephen Foster is meant to mimic black speech. Blokus.

There\'s a deliberate choice here to make the singer sound unsophisticated. Should we change the songs if we know they\'re offensive? Should we ban them?These songs, many of which are still sung today, aren\'t just uncomfortable because of their lyrics; most were used in minstrel/blackface performances in the past.An unavoidable question arises: what do you do with these songs? Stop singing them?

For the most part, schools in the U.S. Have gone with the latter. But that decision raises even more questions: what kind of music are we censoring? What kind of music are we preserving? And who decides this?At NPR, Johnson struggled with similar questions when faced with whether or not to tell his children about the origins of the ice cream truck song. \'Do I empower them with the history of our country, or encourage the youthful exuberance induced by the ice cream truck? Is it my responsibility to foul the sweet taste of ice cream with their first taste of racism?\'

I contacted Matthew Shaftel, a professor of Music Theory and Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies at Florida State for an expert opinion.When it comes to these songs, Shaftel explains that children should be taught the modified versions because they can\'t grasp the nuances of race just yet and don\'t have multiple levels of understanding. Later, they can learn where the songs came from, and that lesson will be an important one. \' These songs are part of a racist history — our nation\'s history. And we want to be aware of our racist roots,\' Shaftel said.We don\'t always do this with American folk songs. We change the songs and scrub them clean. In other musical instances, this is not the case. John Passion, for instance, is set to anti-semitic text.

\' It’s well known that there’s some challenging language in the Gospel of John,\' Michael Marissen, a noted Bach scholar, said in a. Shaftel explains that we usually attach a disclaimer to Bach and explain how his art was a product of his time.But these songs, can teach us about our past. For instance, the songs may have provided information about the cruelty of slavery to Northerners in the 1800s. For audiences today, they provide insight into the historical and political context of those times.\'

It\'s become clear to scholars. That blackface/ minstrels were really the North\'s only exposure for what was going in the South,\' Shaftel says, explaining that while these shows were racist and terrible, they were trying to portray some semblance of reality of what life was like in the South.\' Jimmy Crack Corn\', one of, is one example Shaftel points out. The song portrays a slave who shows emotion and perhaps longing in the wake of his master\'s death. It was written at a time when slaves were regularly dehumanized and not presented as having internal lives or worth, but the slave portrayed in \'Jimmy \' is someone who has feelings (whether it be lament or rejoicing), someone who is human, someone \'who isn\'t just property,\' Shaftel explained.In comparison, \'Oh! Susanna\', the slave is depicted as too dumb to realize his situation and or grasp the concept of geography — that\'s more of the \'slaves as property\' portrayal.

Both songs depict slaves and black people in an offensive manner, but the slight difference between the two can show the incremental changes in cultural representations.Again, this is in no way a defense of those songs, a defense for keeping their original lyrics or absolving the audience members from their consumption of racist material. But studying these songs within the proper context suggests the songs represent more than may appear at first listen.In Johnson\'s article, he writes that he ultimately decided against telling his kids about the origins of the ice cream truck song, but they will likely learn it one day. And his story raised awareness among his readers. Perhaps, therein lies the value of these songs: their existence raises awareness and starts conversations that we wouldn\'t have if they simply were forgotten.

The stories we learn from them are painful, but also valuable. The songs meant something at the time they were created, and they have a different, and important meaning to our lives now: remembering a past that we should never forget.Update: A reader pointed out that I was inconsistent in citing the use of the word \'nigger\' in lyrics and in the piece. I\'ve updated the piece to reflect those concerns.
