I was unaware that this rhyme had racist origins, and I think that would come as news to most people.

What I sent
There is no connection to race at all in the beer ad.
You say that "The history is too fresh" You have to be
kidding me. So fresh in your mind is anything that
goes back 150 years? Even if it is true that the rhyme
started as a way to disparage blacks it was changed to
the point that if you ask the majority of people they
would never be able to guess that it started its life
that way. Its like the rhyme ring around the rosey.
Most people don't know how it began and don't care,
because its a kids rhyme. This is yet another case of
blacks being hypersensitive and I am sure there will
be a lawsuit surrounding the "raceist ad".What a crock
of sh!t.
