re: #90 SanFranciscoZionist

Oh, OK, I know exactly what the hell he was trying to do…but damn it, it SHOULD not be a racist term! I LIKE FOLKLORE!!!

I do too. And I like the stories.
But most folks know, or should know, that the term came to be known mainly via the Uncle Remus stories, which are considered racist. I never saw the movie, but I do recall listening to the stories as a young one and I don’t recall ever taking the stories to be demeaning of black people in any way, they were just - stories. But it seems that’s how they’re viewed.
