Liberals destroy everything they touch! Without a doubt Kate Smith was the greatest icon a team could ever have. I’ve always respected and often cheered for the Flyers, but they have lost my interest for this I’ll advised insult to the fans and all Americans.

I don't know if Timothy Eaton said something back in the day that wouldn't pass the political correctness of 2019, hopefully not or it wouldn't surprise me if someone eventually calls for that statue to be removed from BMP too.

It was a completely different time, she recorded those 2 songs out of the 3000 that she recorded in the 1930's
Sure the lyrics are racist but for the time they were recorded I highly doubt they thought they were racist
I was looking at my mother's grade 6 yearbook (1939) and this poem had been written many times in it
"God made the little n*****s, He made them in the night, He made them in a hurry and forgot to make them white!
I was quite surprised to read that, my mother is not racist at all, she just said that was a popular thing back then and nobody thought that it would offend anyone
I hate revisionist history. I guess years from now we will be banning a bunch of rap records for their misogynistic lyrics

I often pull up Kate Smith and the Broadstreet Bullies days, on you tube. Man that was something real special. I can remember watching it live. Many things made the 60’s and 70’s a great time to be young, (no pc).
