It's seldom sung in public because of lyrics many consider racially
offensive.
But a viewer from Blue Ridge is still singing its praises.
"As a resident of Virginia, I do not want my state song `Carry Me Back to
Olde (sic) Virginia' changed just because the Negro's (sic) are insulted
because of the language. If people would get together and start a petition,
maybe it will stop our song from being changed. Maybe I can't stop this from
happening, but at least I'll have my say. The state song is my heritage and I
will not have it stomped on.
This is 1997, not 1897. Grow up. The state song has the word `taters' in it.
Is this like that Ebonics. You will never change history, and in my book `Carry
Me Back to Olde Virginia' will never die."
