  • This is one of many interstitials we created for TCM in their Race & Hollywood series back around 2003-2004. Hard to believe that actors as famous as Shirley Temple, Fred Astaire and Al Jolson performed with blackface in films. Oddly "blackface" is still relevant today in 2019. Bill Cosby and historian Donald Bogle discuss Amos and Andy and the films The Jazz Singer (1927), Check and Double Check (1930), The Littlest Rebel (1935), and more. TCM Writer/Producer Jean Franz produced the interviews and handled post production supervision. The super cool intro and ending graphics were created by Eric Defino at Ray Gun. The interviews were directed by Jean Franz between 2000 and 2004.

      @@they.luh.madiii5472 kinda sucks Al Jolson gets lumped in with the really disrespectful people in blackface. The dude was the biggest civil rights advocate of his day, most black jazz musicians from the period have a direct link in first starting out with Al.

      Blackface is wrong. Black people get killed for having dark skin. Many feel the need to lighten their skin to get jobs. Darker toned Black people face criticism simply for their skin tone. And for a White person, who doesn't ever have to deal with racial prejudice, to paint themselves dark, in a poor imitation of Black skin, for laughs or a good time, is wrong. They can wipe that off and go have a normal life. Black people can't just change their skin with a wipe. We have to live in it everyday and deal with racial injustices everyday because of it.

      Nothing is inherently wrong until people add meaning and symbolism to it. Let people wear blackface. Let people wear whiteface. I don't care. People are being people, and humans always mimic one another. Lastly, nobody really cares about arguments online, so why have them?
