Ive always found meat doing this song odd, and im utterly thankful no racist remarks have ever come to fruitation.
What, exactly, do you think is the reason meat decided to do such an ethnic song?

Only Meat knows EXACTLY the reason .. but he was brought up with Gospel, has said rock and roll has its roots in the gospel the slaves sang, iit's been a hit several times, and I always thought Black Betty was believed to refer to a gun .. I'm not sure how you construe singing it as potentially racist??
and
.. it was a damn good song to have in the encore set!!
Caryl .. who if it HAD occasioned any racist remarks would have been utterly disappointed in the intelligence of those making them
