If the shirt is racist, why isn't the show racist too? Since the shirt is derived from the show, is it not?

She cloaks the world
In impenetrable darkness

To be quite honest, I was alarmed when I saw the show go there when it aired.

Then I just shrugged it off, nothing bad. It didn't use the original wording. But I did think at the time that it was a bad choice.


Fast forward and this is exactly why it was a bad choice.
Casually casual.

it wasn't Glen and Abraham getting their skulls graphically bashed into mush that alarmed Europeans.... it was a character saying a rhyme which is used in the US by basically every child at one point
anything is everything

Thats not the same thing...
Reading the 1888 lyrics made me sad. But once again what version is used there? pre-1888 post 1970?

IS the guy singing it in the show a racist fuck?

You can t accuse them of being racist if you don t ask what version they refer too.

But maybe it is easier to get offended first then ask questions later.

Any form of this commonplace and apparently nigh-universal rhyme which applies it with racist intent toward people of African descent is simply cultural misappropriation:
