I find it difficult to believe anyone that took the time to create a nursery rhyme would also try to degrade a race.

You have to know that racism was at its hight during the reconstruction of the South. The northern politicians were giving land, money and mules away to the blacks, but white rednecks (the original sharecroppers not the Foxworthy type) got nothing. So blacks were seen as the enemy of their and welfare and freedom. Before the war blacks were looked on with pity.
