Blackbriar 8,569 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I've never seen a blacked up Morris dancer,they were always in whites when I grew up in Dorset. My understanding is that the tradition dates back to at least the 16th century. They blacked their faces to avoid being identified. Spectators would give them money, but the authorities could accuse them of begging, which was a capital offence, at the time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you grew up we hadnt been invaded and our country over run. So you reckon these blacked up Morris dancers are a reaction to multicultural Britain?
