Hey thanks, authentic darkies too!
(Yeah, I know what they meant when Kentucky officially put “people” in the song. That they are now blind to race. But this was about a time when, for worse or better, society knew of a white and a black community each with their own interests. And Stephen Foster purposely used “darkies” to humanize the Negro slaves (or recent freedmen, who often soldiered on as paid servants) of his songs. It means something special in its context.)
