Here's Ed's reply to that song being 'insensitive.' LOL
......................

Once again, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about!
"The Perfect Song" was written as a dreamy song to be sung. I have a copy of
the words and music somewhere, and there's nothing in those words that is
"racially insensitive"! They are dreamy, philosophical in nature, so I really
can't see what he's talking about!
If he means that the movie BIRTH OF A NATION portrayed negroes as slaves, well
then THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS, during the birth of this nation! They were brought
over here to this country to be SLAVES, to work on the southern cotton
plantations like it or not!
Apparently, he's criticizing the movie because it was historically accurate!
The movie may have USED the song to enhance the action in it, but that doesn't
mean that the composer of the song was "racially insensitive"!
