I really don't know how you are knowledgeable enough to write all of this but missed all the other information that demonstrates major issues with the song. Yes the song was written by someone from the north and was written in the north. That does not change the fact that it was intended to be used for Minstrel Shows which were meant to stereotype and demean black people with these characteristics: "dimwitted, lazy, buffoonish, cowardly, superstitious, and happy-go-lucky." Fun fact there were racism in the north during and long past the Civil War wow big surprise. Lincoln shouldn't be used as an argument for the appropriateness of the song either. In a speech in 1858 in southern Illinoi he said the following:
"I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermingling with white people" https://presidentlincoln.illinois.gov/le...an-slavery
Something to remember as we look back through history is that every great movement leader who did great things will still seem and be backward by our standards today.
A cursory search will quickly show many of these bits and pieces that make up the history of this song, and seeing how knowledgeable you are it seems you somehow forgot to include all of this in your response. Including the modern use of it. Feel free to elaborate on the full history of the song and its uses (preferably the version that you sang). Please explain why this song is appropriate to be played/sung on our server.
Anyone else reading this post you should go and read a few different articles about the song and its use over time. There is some nuance to the history especially with discussions related to the song when it was removed from Ole Miss athletic events in 2016, but today in 2024 on Dinkleberg's TTT is not the place to litigate it.
Something to keep in mind. If you ever find yourself in a place where EVERYONE else is the problem, maybe it is time for some introspection.

I have no genuine regrets. You lot can go fuck yourselves, I'm done being treated like a piece of shit in your servers. Every day I'm on it's 1rdm after the other and then I'm called every slur and name in the fucking book. Tell the others to go fucking die in a fire cause I am fucking over it. And when I try to do something about it, I'm the "staff abuser". nah go fuck yourselves
