This is a wonderful presentation on a difficult subject. However, rather than shy away from it, the presenter shared facts to not only tell the ugly side, but also of the strength, resiliency, and brilliance of black people to change the narrative and begin to tell their own stories. Again, well done.

I will not watch this as your intro gave an overwhelming impression of a flake and woke mindset. The whole premise that blackface is racist is about as silly as saying a clown's clownface is racist to whites. Neither depict any form of reality.

I see the same thing today in music.

Nicc A plzz😅

Robert Downey Jr and Jimmy kimmel, and jesse lee peterson impersonate african Americans, damn well I might add..

That guy in the taste mask isn't in black face, it's legit black man Jerry Rice, LOL! 4:40

I dont quite know what to type, however i can write that this helped me explain to others about this topic. Many white people still are so blinded by the blatiant level of this kind of thinking and then to use it as the entertainment, burdens my thoughts. Thank you to the set of this channel to let us understand the effects our behavior is detestable....in this direction and unfortunately history. I am humbled to be able to share my words and thinking, Please find my words one of admiration and deep respect for Anyone whom has experienced or has had loved ones effected.

Delve into stereotypes. The definition, examples, false exaggerations with common underlying truths...

It is hard to understand why African American actors would further the stereotypes but bear in mind it was still a job and it was money albeit they were not paid but a fraction of White actors. So while actors like Hattie McDaniel and Bill Robinson may have furthered the stereotype it was still a job and today we appreciate their performances even though they were under extreme social pressure

Victim consciousness should be avoided at all costs.

What about in the highways in Pennsylvania and Virginia a company called Sheetz is still doing that go check it out

What is so racist about Uncle Ben’s? He practically invented par cooked rice, he shouldn’t be cancelled.

i've recently been listening to old blues music, a type of music i haven't really given much of a try, at least the 20's and 30's stuff. I hear "glee" in blues for some reason

One thing I believe you missed is that they didn’t want to pay black actors or make them a star. Just like the cowboys and Indians.

Black face is peak comedy

You forgot the great comedy show Amos and Andy. Now that was a funny show.

America cannot help if the stereotypes were true of that time.

Black slaves were only whipped when they ran away or disobeyed their owner. They were property of the day. Could you imagine somebody blowing up their backhoe today? No because they would not get any work out of it

I do not see black ministerial shows as being racist whatsoever. At that time there were no black actors so white actors had to act like blacks

I agree they never should have gotten rid of Uncle Ben's wild rice, Aunt Jemima's syrup. That is part of American history.

I grew up using Aunt Jemima syrup and going to Sambo's restaurant, and Uncle Ben rice. But it was the woke liberal left that took these great products away from America.

What did you do with the money that your mother gave you for singing lessons? You definitely didn't use them on singing lessons.

Back in the day white people in blackface were funnier and even better actors the normal actors

Trump is very good for america november 2024.

Inclusivity is bad !

blackface is very good. Blackface is very nice and is not a problem. Welcomme blackface ! Out woke and wokisme !!!

Most white blackface performers were Jewish like Al Jolson

We’re born a victim ✊🏾😭 & it pays 💰

Mrs Butterworth was English.

Great doc, thanks for this from Italy

Wow, you are really good at cherry-picking the worst possible examples and utterly ignoring the black performers of the era! Thanks so much for keeping racism alive and well, it seems that is actually your goal.

Who's looking back? I saw all of this in 1980's in Alabama but I had to sneak around as I was raised in the IBLP (duggar cult) where we were not allowed to see TV, film, radio, listen to music with a beat (it was too black), cut my hair, wear pants, speak in a church......

I love it . Same as when the Wayans brothers did White Chicks . It's funny .

This video is so thoroughly researched and well presented. Kudos. I normally don't comment on CZcams videos, but I was truly struck by how engaging the presenter has made this uncomfortable yet important material. And the production too! How do you not have more subscribers? If all your videos are of a similar quality, I am happy to add one!

4:15 It’s wild that different companies didn’t just take the white ppl off of stuff too since now they’re the only ones on food packaging and no one else is represented.

Thank you, thank you,thank you!!!

It's funny how the racist Liberals & Democrats never attacked the Whites Like Wendy's, Quacker oats, KFC, actual were family slave owners This Party didn't want to see Black People or Native Indians when that bought Groceries.Who got played?

Black face is a dead god Erebus, Proteus ⚘🌚👍Rest in the good news ⚘ Okay bye

Thank you Janeece for this very interesting, informative, and important video!

Who supported Jim Crow laws? DEMOCRATS

GTE phone book serial clown killers Fort Wayne Indiana Police Sheriff dept my name Michael stots is in that book is your name in that book

Can someone explain me, why the Jim Crow law exisisted next to the law that made everyone equal? Doesn't made the JC law illigal?

Extremely constructive information. Thank you for taking the time to produce this content.

I've always thought that it was poetic justice that Thomas Rice ended up destitute at the end of his life.

The music in minstrel shows is really cool. It's a shame that they took something beautiful and used it for evil. Oh wait I take that back. That Jim Crow song sucks hard core.

As a white person, I want to announce that I am a fervent connoisseur of the art of “whiteface.” I absolutely love to see black people put white makeup on and try to stereotype Europeans. Everyone should watch Eddie Murphy’s SNL rendition of putting on white-face in “White like me.” I would pay money to see Steve Harvey do whiteface. It would be friggin’ hilarious 😆

Excellent

I apply 'blackface' twice a month, to entertain senior citizens at a lunch club. I'm a professionally trained pianist and Banjo player, a member of the 'Somalian Serenaders'. I usually sing Al Jolson numbers, and some more obscure French Creole tunes. I perform with the full support of my local Baptist Church Minister. The highly esteemed, Reverend Cleotus Jamesbody.

imagine making products today and not including black people on them, we would be called racist's , so why are we taking off aunt jemina off the maple syrup ?
