@@user-ux6tk8pi9i a white person telling people of color how they should view their degradation at the hands of white Americans is very rich & beyond disgraceful.
Whatever lmbo she probably did that to get attention you must ain't never watched her one documentary on how she died she was starving for attention every step of the way like damn ain't nobody that important lady she was constantly trying to hurt herself for attention smh how many accolades does one need to actually "feel" accomplished so sad her life story is so very sick oh my goodness and to see this wow 😒😒😒
The more I read into Judy Garland's life, the more I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Poor girl has been exploited and did everything against her will ever since she entered Hollywood.
@@Yummicookie1979, why be so conceited? And hostile? You weren't her biographer, either. How about extreme poverty? Stars can leave the Hollywood community.
This is a deep scar in her drug addiction. MGM forced her to commit to roles contractually. Judy Garland was notorious as a huge civil rights advocate and I feel just as ashamed for knowing MGM producers marginalized actresses. Judy Garland was deeply misunderstood and unbelievably lovely.
@@TheCondescendingRedditor this is terrible. I dont see how anyone could consider this her best role. Its straight up mocking black people. Being a snowflake is being sensitive to everything. This is important and disturbing
@@TheCondescendingRedditor you probably used to box with all the stupid shit youre spewing in this comment section. The brain damage/cte is coming through.
She was 15 and was forced to do this. She was under a conservator who forced her to perform the act. When she became an adult I believe around 10 years later in the 40’s she was upset she had done this act. From what I read anyways 😊
The amount of likes received from this comment just affirms the passive aggressive nature of you racist but passive aggressive pigs…..let me guess you all have black friends🙄
I don't remember this part of the Wizard of Oz EDIT: I do not support black face or racism in any way. I made a joke because the wizard of oz is so happy, and this is so horrible. Go watch the wizard of oz if you think this joke is racist.
I never said Forget… I said PROPORTION. The world is currently falling apart and we’re hurling spears at the graves of those long dead over face paint, while the spear chuckers sit on thrones of superiority. 👇🏻(Can’t be said more clearly)👇🏻
What disgusts me even more is the fact that she was forced to do this by the company she worked for Pretty messed up how they made her do blackface against her will
@@Rapztress She was 15, she was sexually abused on Hollywood, forced to smoke and get drugged, and being quiet about, it was pretty common those days because you were slaved by producers and filmakers, remember it was the damn 20's-30's, hard days worldwide, you're blessed to live in this generation, alot of these millenial kids would have ended worse than her
Don't you dare let anyone forget how people were perceived, treated, spoken of, and portrayed back then. They had the magic to produce films and preserve stories, and this is what they chose to create. Edit: People in the comments are why we should never forget this. Sorry your hearts are so full of hatred.
It's hard to sort out "who started it" and "did it ever stop" People can show how someone else told them to And people can show how they all were just going with what's popular and they all only meant to make a living. There's a reason that the world that produced this, leads up to WW2. And Hitler didn't have his ideas on his own. He heard them from Henry Ford who heard them from someone else. Conspiracy theories just spreading. And getting out of hand. I pity that people got hurt real bad by it. But honestly it's hard to figure out how to fix the world. They thought they were being either good, or funny. They thought the horrors were over so it was time to relieve stress and make parodies. Thought they'd freed the slaves and deserved a break from war. That just movies isn't so bad. And they were ignorant of some things and just accepting of other things. But really, its the same today. The bottom is poorer than the middle realizes. It's not over. Parodies can hurt feelings and come across as cringe and callous and tone deaf. Other people do worse. It's all messed up. And sometimes they want to represent things but they're too dumb to do it accurately and it reveals not even as much their hate but their ignorance. Like.....the way William Shatner overacts his lines. When you see it on Family Guy you see how absurd it really is. There was a time that a lot of people thought this was real. There was a time a lot of people thought this was progress. Which makes one wonder: what if right now, what we have today isn't good enough, and will one day look just as embarrassingly cringe? It feels unnecessary to assume hate if ignorance would seem to explain it completely. Oh real people still get hurt by the cringe even if it comes out of ignorance more than hate.
rewatching this again. poor girl. she got so much hate for something truly disgusting that she was forced to do. what a utter shame. crazy how times have changed.
@@JakeKoenig The movie is a social commentary on blackface. The point sailed over that empty noggin of yours. Does your head make maraca noises when you shake it? Cuz there ain’t but a few skittles and some pocket lint in there!
I admire the way you expressed this. "Grotesque" is an excellent word choice. This clip broke my heart--such heaven in her voice and such an ugly hell behind it as a performance I noticed that her performance here lacked the over-the-top enthusiasm so typical of blackface actors during "happy"/upbeat songs. I don't know enough about Garland to know if she typically brought that underlying distance/melancholy to her roles, but here it adds an extra layer of unease. Everything about this clip feels like a metaphor and a juxtaposition--on one end social horror, on the other personal tragedy. Heartbreak in 2 minutes.
For those of you who are saying “she still had a choice to do this performance” there are a few things you should know: Back then when an actor signed a contract(especially a child actor), the studios had control over everything on them including their bodies(many actresses were even forced to get abortions; Judy garland is thought to be one of them). In addition to this, Judy had an abusive stage mom(and her father had been dead for a year at this point). If she refused to perform this she could’ve 1. Been beaten by her abusive mother 2. Fired from MGM leaving her entire family without money, and her mother would’ve definitely abused her 3. Be beaten by her mother AND drugged into submission. For all we know she could’ve been heavily drugged here. She was forced to take drugs and alcohol throughout her entire career to get her to perform the way the producers wanted her to. Edit: I'm disgusted by the amount of people responding to this comment who are saying this blackface doesn't matter anymore because there are no more slaves. Educate yourself on how these mindsets become systematically ingrained into our society and laws; leaving the after-effects to generations to come. I am also discouraged by the people who assume only the worst,, especially without doing their research. Whether you would like to believe it or not, I 100% understand where you are coming from, and where your mindset is. But if you have no experience being indoctrinated by any ideology or bigotry, I highly suggest you educate yourself. You cannot hold people accountable for things they did when they were children, yet alone things they did before they had un-indoctrinated themselves.
@@jeffbrehove2614 Yep. It's so fascinating that even at the tender age of 14 her voice was still very polished and refined. Just goes to show how truly talented Judy Garland was. This cruel world did not deserve her at all. 👠👠🌈❤
Judy garland was drugged, threatened and forced by contract to do everything she has ever done including the wizard of oz, so your childhood would be ruined anyways.
It's really sad. It's all her mother's fault. Her mom made her be in the entertainment business, and then MGM forced her to do drugs, blackface, etc. One of the producers sexually harassed her too. But she didn't know any better. :(
Reading the comments I'm glad people actually know Judy Garland's history It's sad that she had to do this because she was under contract but her voice is very beautiful My opinion the reason why this hasn't really gotten any attention in Media is because people are aware and very vocal about what Judy Garland went through and they would go after the studio's instead At least that's what I hoped would happen
as a black person, I don't think it's her fault. she was exploited and was unwillingly on dr*gs. chances are she genuinely didn't want to do this so they dr*gged her or she could've been overwhelmed. I mean look at her eyes they look so dead
I blame the studio and the adults around her. She was a child contract player, she was legally obligated to do what they told her. She was fed on a diet of chicken broth and was put on an aggressive regime of uppers and downers to maintain her weight and keep her working. She didn’t even have a choice to keep her first pregnancy and was forced into an abortion. As an adult she was a big supporter of civil rights, she donated to the families of the little blk girls who were unalived in a church bombing, fought for the Nicholas Brothers and other black entertainers.
Oh you’re so cringe stfu. You really think we would bring back blackface in for any reason let alone because they simply take a video down. I’m not saying we should take the video down but don’t act like we’ll return to the 30s or 40s.
I can’t believe anyone ever thought this was OK. Happy to see people acknowledging that Judy was forced into doing this, and many other things, to stay employed. Great vocals, if you can get the visuals out of your head.
Considering she was actually a tool by the industry, that terribly hung her dry in her darkest hours, I won't hold this against her. Just by looking at her eyes, I can tell her heart is not in it the same way it was in Meet Me in St. Louis' or the Wizard.' Not saying it's right..just saying we know what really' initiated this. Still a fan because she was an underdog like me.
It's called virtue signaling everyone in Hollywood does it. If she hated it so much she wouldn't have refused to do it it's not like she had a pistol put to her head. Besides back then this was totally normal and today we have movies like white chick's so what's the difference? The only thing I that really could be called offensive is the white lips otherwise she's doing an impression of a young black girl from the south. This performance if taken in it's intended context isn't really that bad, it's sort of like a man singing in drag if you ask me.
yeah this is a top result for "wicked witch" for some reason.... which is the moniker of some goofball Scientologist "celebrity" whose CZcams account i'm trying to find
In addition to the obvious issues, Judy's appearance, the makeup, the costume, the expressions, are like something from a horror film. This clip is monstrous.
This was very common representation of black people in that time. Many people today look back at Amos and Andy and see it as racist but it’s downright modern compared to the horrific blackface portrayals. At least Amos and Andy depicted them as actual normal humans and they were usually played by actual black people.
@@haruruben Yes, the whole display is awful. But there's something disturbing about Judy's performance specifically to me. The movements, the facial expressions, the weird eyes. She seems deranged or zombie like to me. I could barely watch the whole video.
For people who are saying Judy is racist, enjoyed this, or was fine with this since it was normal in this time period need to stop. Judy was *forced* into doing these things under the rigid contract of the studio and her own mother, which is incredibly difficult to resist especially for child actors and in a time period where children had very little autonomy. And just because blackface was common and normalized didn't mean people were okay with it everywhere. Slavery was common and there were people who opposed it even when it was happening, normalization ≠ agreement. And Judy was a notorious Civil Rights activist, she was forced into a racist role. And you can see in her expression she didn't like it, people may think she did but she was an actress, she had to act like she did for the studio but you can tell she didn't if you bother to actually look, such as the lifelessness in her eyes
Indeed, we can't just ignore a part of history just because it was obscure. Insted we should watch these videos to learn from our ancesters mistakes and do better
After looking at Judy’s entire history, I just feel so horrible for her and everything she had to live through until her death. She really didn’t deserve any of that. Edit: Jesus Christ, I think I might’ve started WWIII here
Whoa, this is so unbelievable and shocking.. My mouth hung open for a straight minute at how disgusting as a society we once were. Poor little girl and all who were mocked with this look. Inhumane 💔
This was the time of “Pigskin Parade”, so she was 12 or 13. Even as an adult she had to do what the studio told her to, so it’s pretty obvious she’s not to blame for this awfulness. Her singing voice is extraordinary, my word. No wonder they signed her, too bad they didn’t know what to do with her.
@@toxxxickay3553 actors didn’t have freedom like they do today. Back then if a studio signed you, it meant they owned you. You did what they said or they sued you for breach of contract and bankrupted your entire family. There are a ton of horror stories of this era of Hollywood
You folks have been brainwashed. You have been trained by propaganda to think something everyone of all races didn't care about at the time is a HUGE deal. When in reality - it was a media fad being done by people in an industry that was filled with degenerates, drunks, addicts, pedophiles, rapists and power hungry goons. LOL - and the makeup has you pressed.
It wasn’t her fault she had to do this. This poor girl was forced into doing stuff like this. She was treated like an actual marionette puppet, unable to break free from the “strings”. This is truly disgusting. The Hollywood industry did terrible things to her. Her phenomenal voice combined with the horror visuals has left me with something I feel ambivalent about.
@@CattMofu It was normal for the time, stop trying to overlay modern societal values on the past, she did it because blackface wasn't out of the ordinary.
😢Discussing. I am 74 and I remember this BS. I would cringe then, and I cringe now!!! This country is being eaten by racism at this very moment. I pray that this place has changed, but has it!!!!
I feel so bad for her here. It’s literally abuse that they made her do something this disturbing. I can’t imagine how hard it must’ve been for her especially looking at how unhappy she looks here
Many people may not realize that, in America's past, African-Americans were not allowed in films (or on radio stations). There were no black actors or actresses (or black professional athletes). Our country had segregation which included having restrooms for "Whites Only". So, the only way to have a film with a black character was for a white performer to do the role in blackface. Judy Garland may not have even seen this as distatsteful as we do today. She was doing her job as an actress. I am not saying this was right, just reminding people to take it easy on Judy Garland.
@@josbar2835 What are you talking about??? Just look at movies from that era you will see MANY famous black actors during segregation: Sidney poitier, Dorothy Dandridge, Hattie McDaniels... They purposedly CHOOSE to not cast black people, to ridicule us and not make any black person more famous than a white person.
She probably thought nothing of it, other than a great break and opportunity. Blackface was a standard part of American entertainment back then. Let's not project our 21st century social posturing with how people thought and felt in the 1930s. If you were there, you'd have thought and felt the exact same way as the majority of people at the time.
@@josbar2835 When were blacks banned from movies? In school we watched Uncle Toms Cabin from 1914 and it had black actors. In fact the main character is black. Hattie McDaniel won the academy award for Gone with the wind in 1939. I am not questioning segregation at all but there have been black actors (and great ones) since the beginning.
I didn’t expect this to show up in my feed, but frankly I’m glad it did. Looking at the comments, I’ve learned a bit about Judy garlands life and legacy, the film industry, and some history of racist performances/ blackface. This is a horrifying display of racism and abuse- and being reminded of its existence (for me) is sobering and eye opening.
It's funny. The only thing horrifying about it is modern virtue signallers like you get to feel self-righteous for complaining about it on social media.
@@cocodriloco7780 I have simply recognized their Communist trick and call it out for what it is. People who are upset about racism typically aren't actually upset at all, nor is the accused even guilty of actual racism. It's all about Communist control. Typically the ones making the accusations are themselves perpetrating the offences in question, like Rabbi's spray-painting swastika's on their own synagogues. It's an evil trick. It's also evil to judge history by modern standards without the proper context which is what's going on in this comment section. But that's how these Communist tyrants operate. Be careful! Don't let yourself be used!
Thank god there are so many recordings available to us of Judy Garland's talent, so that we don't have to depend on this nastiness to enjoy it. This clip can be our way into learning about and improving upon what America was like at that time. So much other Garland media is here for us so that we can just swoon over a person (a child!) having her level of talent.
@@jamalamapoo Nothing wrong with an old fashioned comedic depiction of black face. If you get upset about a joke that’s your oversensitivity problem you should deal with. Go watch white chicks and laugh at the black men wearing white face.
Garland not only objected to blackface, she didn't care to perform swing music at all. At the time she said, "I'd rathed be singing opera, but they tell me that swing is where the money is." Dick Cavett once asked acclaimed Oscar winning actor Gale Sondergaard if she objected to making silly movies like "The Spider Woman". She told him she was under contract and she did what she was told to do. Under the studio system, actors were property.
Preferring opera to swing is pretty racist. Then again, performing swing or blues as a white person is evil appropriation. You see where this goes? The white person is DEFINED so as to make being good impossible.
Yes that is what I wrote , themselves would be the family, particularly the parents. Child stars were not protected by law back then when Judy was in the line light. However the only thing judy probably cared about was the makeup session . Not the blackface. Black face is is makeup. Only liberal ,Democrat,woke cult idiots cry about blackface.
It starts a little slow but picks up nicely. She puts her own spin on this old timey mash up and has some very unique dance moves/mannerisms. Make-up' s a little heavy though.
Holy cow imagine my surprise when I stumbled over this ! Poor Judy. Her breasts were strapped for The Wizard of Oz ,she was put on speed to lose weight, and who knows what else happened to her. Such a sweet woman. I always loved her. R.I.P. Judy . You're a shining star.
To be honest all I think about was how my family felt back in the day.When black face was introduced.All I could say is that I’m black and I will always be proud of that.
You know you want to be angry at anyone for racism look to the governments ,we were fine in our tribes before they came along ,well everything was fine ,we looked after everyone, the land ,visitors from other tribes and nations,look around today see the state of everything, poverty,sickness,racism,pollutants especially our seas we always looked after everything and everyone, now we under rule look at the damage to our planet,the violence, depression need I go on . And are not things supposed to be better under a government I would say it very scary at the times we live in. When you listion to people who have been traumatized by governments who declared war,stripped people of their culture threw them into towns and cities and make us function this ridiculous way of life ,who is to blame?,people are realising and moving back into nature away from governments who in my opinion have caused all the damage. No one is happy well those under a government ,and they force their unjust way of life on us. When I heard that once governments brought over Africans into America they had a water fountain that said blacks and whotes WHATON EARTH,blacks was not allowed to drink from the white man's fountain, how disgraceful and quite shocking to me ,we are all God's creatures . I feel for everyone over the centuries for how badly they have been treated as they are all God's creatures equal whether a human,a fly a forest a stream even a speck of dust as this was all created all has a use and all must be respected. Alot of people are forced to do what they don't want to do and we give them backlash ,that is making a mockery of Judy and insulting her as a human being. No one would want to be part of that and I bet even she had nightmares I feel sick watching it ,it is the first and last time for me. There is so much we do against our will,or we are repressed ,not even being able to speak our minds without being made to believe even our thoughts are wrong. I'm fed up with the world and it has got to the stage rich or poor this is now a very depressing planet to live on ,God created a happy human,a beautiful planet,enough for every man's need not his greed. I know all this for fact I'm a shaman and see how we functioned before a rule ,and I will not be repressed I will say it how it is I will not be silenced like everyone else ,I would be willing to be thrown in jail for speaking up ,about time everyone said enough is enough, many can see we just spiraling downwards no way out ,you all need to make your lives better ,you don't need to be ruled and keep putting up with the madness around you ,do you not see where it is leading,those gone back into nature ate so happy ,spiritually fulfilled ,stress free ,different people who are no longer lost.
If you're eyes are covered then you will not be able to see that she opposed it. She was a woman who had to do it because that's how it was in Hollywood back in the day.
And that's how it was for the African Americans who were ALSO forced by "the way things were" in Hollywood, Vaudeville and Burlesque theater as well to PUT "cork" on their already Black Skin to perform IN "Black Face" or not perform at all unless they were performing in an all-Negro production, for an all Black audience in a "Chittlin' Circuit" performance space/auditorium. The lunacy of this country's treatment of HUEman beings is something that has a 400 year+ debt of hell-to-pay
@@fredrickkenley674 have you done research to know? She was 14 here. The studio pretty much owned her at this point and she was forced into these roles as contractual obligations. Judy was known as a huge civil rights activist and no doubt had no interest in the slightest in performing this heinous role - she was drugged and starved until the companies she was under were satisfied that she’d do what they needed her to do. A lot of this contributed to her issues with drugs that led to her demise and overdose.
People need to understand something... This took place when women had not even been voting for 20 years yet. She was 14 years old here. Do you really think a 14 year old female could have said no to this? She had to lose a significant amount of weight to even be considered for The Wizard of Oz and that came out the year after this did. She was still shamed for being too heavy. She was even smacked in the face while shooting The Wizard of Oz by the director. Please try to understand all of this before you shame her for it. It's obviously racist but consider the circumstances.
welp hello I didn't know her personally but neither did you, so that's not a valid argument. Also, not sure if you can read, but I said "It's obviously racist"... Not once did I defend blackface OR racism. I defended a 14 year old girl. There's a difference.
@@ceeceetracey9839 kind of hard to say no whenever there are a bunch of men coercing you telling that you have to do that that you're under a contract and that they will do horrible things to you and your family if you don't comply, then they drug you up and abuse you. I think in that situation a lot of 14-year-olds would go along with it because from what I've found out she was around 14 in this performance that are 16. You go back in time to that social era Be a 16 or 14-year-old girl And get the same treatment as her and see what you do
@@shadowsoulless6227 I’m not co-signing your words or her actions on the strength of this era being a terrible time. It was a terrible time for Black Americans as well and this didn’t help and still doesn’t.
To the people who have entertained “canceling” Judy, just look into her life in the industry. Especially her early life with MGM. That little girl didn’t even have any type of autonomy over what she did with her own body. They forced her to take hard drugs to keep up with a sleep depriving schedule so she could perform how they wanted her to. You think she had a choice in playing this park? Blame the disgusting directors, producers, and writers for this who thought that this was a brilliant isea
It's a relief to be able to visibly tell that Garland is miserable doing this and was under contract and didn't want to. There were actresses back then that would have done this and more to get noticed, but Garland clearly didn't need to or want to. Poor thing.All they did to her, is it any wonder she ended up the way she did. Bless you Judy.
This certainly isn’t the “Black National Anthem!” and it sure does nothing for Judy Garland’s character! It shows how acceptable this image of black people was among white America! It wasn’t okay then and although black people have surpassed the sting of kinda this ignorance, it’s still unacceptable! The Black anthem is a beautiful song born out of pain and despair. “LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING” is picking up momentum once again and I’m proud to see it!
@Hell Raisers MC Los Santos she was only 16 when she filmed Wizard, it's amazing. I think she grew up super fast. She had a lot of weight on her shoulders all her life.
Thinking of Dorothy as blackface is the weirdest thing to me Edit: is anyone else unable to see the video anymore? Mine’s just a black screen with audio playing. Odd.
Judy garland was drugged, threatened and forced by contract to do everything she has ever done including the wizard of oz, so your childhood would be ruined anyways.
@@poppyisyourmommy6956 - Yes, I'm aware. But afterward had she ever recanted or renounced her offensive acts? That's my point. She wasnt totally wasted throughout her life and was coherent enough at some point to recognize the gravity of what shes done.
@Randy marsh no it was definitely racist. They wore black paint to deny black People opportunities in theater. That is racist. There is no misunderstanding but yours
They really painted her whole body for this. I don't even know what to say and I'm glad the comment section is pretty much filled with exactly my thoughts on this.
Honestly I was wondering what kind of body paint it was because back then the Hollywood studios really don't care if it was toxic. After all we are remember the axman that died
I'm glad that this piece of history was shared - I had no idea Judy Garland was contractually forced into performing in blackface during her career. Acknowledging and learning from our nation's past (speaking as someone from the US) is the only way to move forward toward equity and inclusion. I hope that we reach that goal in my lifetime.
Lots of across and actresses were against black face, but were forced to do it by their companies. An actress of the same generation as Judy was forced to do black face for an advertisement, but when interviewed about it, she said she did not want to do it and wished she stuck to her fine about not doing it. An actor of an earlier generation said the same thing about a part he did in a movie.
We already have reached that lol there just people that wine about things they don't have and blame it on racial inequality name one thing a black or brown person can't do in America?? As a brown Dude there's nothing I can't do even if people like u say there is
You know there's like a least 50 ppl or even more involved in the production of this clip before it was released into the public view，yet no one said a word
After many research for my studies I can claim that this is not the Black American National Anthem but the song Swing Low, Sweet Chariot which is an American black spiritual song written in 1880s
Remember that Judy had no choice in what roles she took. She was a child when this was filmed and in those days actors were under contract with a single studio. She did whatever they told her or she would have never worked in Hollywood again.
this reminds me of when i was 7 and jimmy carter was president. we lived in a duplex that shared a porch with the unit next door. they had a little girl not yet 18 months old. they taught her that her diaper was a pocketbook and they would sneak up behind her and put wet leaves down the front of her diaper and tell her jimmy carter did it. she would scream STOP JIMMY CARTER and rip her diaper off then they would laugh hysterically. they did it until she was exhausted from screaming. then they taught her to cuss. they told her that as long as she danced jimmy carter would not come and get her. she danced on that front porch all the time. they told her if she would cuss jimmy carter from the porch he would not come and get her. she spent so much time holding onto the bars of the porch railing like she was in jail and cussing jimmy carter as loudly as she could. the neighbors all hated her. the year they told her jimmy carter not santa was bringing the presents she went to bed crying and saying she did not want anything. it got to where if you just said his name she would start screaming and run hide in the bushes. it was a long 4 years for her.
@@SeeburgMusic ummm because this is the type of entertainment people watched not even a century ago. Do you turn on the tv and watch this on a regular basis?

It doesn’t bother me, and I’m also Black. The only thing that does irritate me a bit are the comments attempting to sanitize this film. Context isn’t needed in a Minstrel performance. It was racism. End of story.
July 29, 2022- Judy Garland admitted that she didn't want to this part... I fully respected Judy Garland...Because Hollywood forced Judy Garland to do this part... That's why actors and actresses hated Hollywood so much... Hollywood abuses, discrimination, and etc... R.I.P.. Judy Garland...❤️🌹🌹🌹

Judy was 16 when the studio and her mother made her do this... she was also drugged out of her mind by the studio. By 17, she was addicted to barbiturates and amphetamines and needed treatment. What adults around this kid did to her should have landed them all in prison. She was an abused child. That's not an excuse, that's a reason.

You can just obviously tell by how she's performing and the look in her eyes that she was most definitely against doing this whole thing and understandably so too. Something like this happen today on TV or a movie, ion think it would slide at all.
Really? You can judge that by watching an actor`s eyes acting? To me it just seems you are echoing what most of the comments purport to know.

I know this is racist but her voice is amazing Edit: Let me rephrase what I said, Yes what she did was racist and was not right, but I think Judy was forced to do this kinda shit, considering she was drugged in almost all of the films she was in during her career. Yes this was racist and wouldn't be acceptable today, Us black people had to go through this everyday sadly
Worth noting that as an adult, Judy Garland went on to be an active supporter of the Civil Rights movement in the USA. She also joined in the March on Washington amongst other things.

Yeah and alot of other stuff
It's hard to sort out "who started it" and "did it ever stop"
People can show how someone else told them to
And people can show how they all were just going with what's popular and they all only meant to make a living.
There's a reason that the world that produced this, leads up to WW2.
And Hitler didn't have his ideas on his own. He heard them from Henry Ford who heard them from someone else.
Conspiracy theories just spreading. And getting out of hand.
I pity that people got hurt real bad by it. But honestly it's hard to figure out how to fix the world.
They thought they were being either good, or funny. They thought the horrors were over so it was time to relieve stress and make parodies.
Thought they'd freed the slaves and deserved a break from war.
That just movies isn't so bad.
And they were ignorant of some things and just accepting of other things.
But really, its the same today. The bottom is poorer than the middle realizes. It's not over. Parodies can hurt feelings and come across as cringe and callous and tone deaf.
Other people do worse. It's all messed up.
And sometimes they want to represent things but they're too dumb to do it accurately and it reveals not even as much their hate but their ignorance.
Like.....the way William Shatner overacts his lines. When you see it on Family Guy you see how absurd it really is.
There was a time that a lot of people thought this was real. There was a time a lot of people thought this was progress.
Which makes one wonder: what if right now, what we have today isn't good enough, and will one day look just as embarrassingly cringe?
It feels unnecessary to assume hate if ignorance would seem to explain it completely.
Oh real people still get hurt by the cringe even if it comes out of ignorance more than hate.

@George Costanza Its a mockery making fun of someone. What was the point of her being in blackface.....could her talent not carry it?
I admire the way you expressed this. "Grotesque" is an excellent word choice. This clip broke my heart--such heaven in her voice and such an ugly hell behind it as a performance I noticed that her performance here lacked the over-the-top enthusiasm so typical of blackface actors during "happy"/upbeat songs. I don't know enough about Garland to know if she typically brought that underlying distance/melancholy to her roles, but here it adds an extra layer of unease. Everything about this clip feels like a metaphor and a juxtaposition--on one end social horror, on the other personal tragedy. Heartbreak in 2 minutes.
@@jyt74 Your comment just won the internet today.
For those of you who are saying “she still had a choice to do this performance” there are a few things you should know: Back then when an actor signed a contract(especially a child actor), the studios had control over everything on them including their bodies(many actresses were even forced to get abortions; Judy garland is thought to be one of them). In addition to this, Judy had an abusive stage mom(and her father had been dead for a year at this point). If she refused to perform this she could’ve 1. Been beaten by her abusive mother 2. Fired from MGM leaving her entire family without money, and her mother would’ve definitely abused her 3. Be beaten by her mother AND drugged into submission. For all we know she could’ve been heavily drugged here. She was forced to take drugs and alcohol throughout her entire career to get her to perform the way the producers wanted her to.
Edit: I'm disgusted by the amount of people responding to this comment who are saying this blackface doesn't matter anymore because there are no more slaves. Educate yourself on how these mindsets become systematically ingrained into our society and laws; leaving the after-effects to generations to come.
I am also discouraged by the people who assume only the worst,, especially without doing their research. Whether you would like to believe it or not, I 100% understand where you are coming from, and where your mindset is. But if you have no experience being indoctrinated by any ideology or bigotry, I highly suggest you educate yourself. You cannot hold people accountable for things they did when they were children, yet alone things they did before they had un-indoctrinated themselves.

Reading the comments I'm glad people actually know Judy Garland's history
It's sad that she had to do this because she was under contract but her voice is very beautiful
My opinion the reason why this hasn't really gotten any attention in Media is because people are aware and very vocal about what Judy Garland went through and they would go after the studio's instead
At least that's what I hoped would happen
Or it doesn't get any attention in media because face it, the media has two sides and right now they're too busy screaming at each other.

I blame the studio and the adults around her. She was a child contract player, she was legally obligated to do what they told her. She was fed on a diet of chicken broth and was put on an aggressive regime of uppers and downers to maintain her weight and keep her working. She didn’t even have a choice to keep her first pregnancy and was forced into an abortion.
As an adult she was a big supporter of civil rights, she donated to the families of the little blk girls who were unalived in a church bombing, fought for the Nicholas Brothers and other black entertainers.

This was very common representation of black people in that time.

At least Amos and Andy depicted them as actual normal humans and they were usually played by actual black people.
@@haruruben Yes, the whole display is awful. But there's something disturbing about Judy's performance specifically to me. The movements, the facial expressions, the weird eyes. She seems deranged or zombie like to me. I could barely watch the whole video.
For people who are saying Judy is racist, enjoyed this, or was fine with this since it was normal in this time period need to stop. Judy was *forced* into doing these things under the rigid contract of the studio and her own mother, which is incredibly difficult to resist especially for child actors and in a time period where children had very little autonomy. And just because blackface was common and normalized didn't mean people were okay with it everywhere. Slavery was common and there were people who opposed it even when it was happening, normalization ≠ agreement.
And Judy was a notorious Civil Rights activist, she was forced into a racist role. And you can see in her expression she didn't like it, people may think she did but she was an actress, she had to act like she did for the studio but you can tell she didn't if you bother to actually look, such as the lifelessness in her eyes

Many people may not realize that, in America's past, African-Americans were not allowed in films (or on radio stations). There were no black actors or actresses (or black professional athletes). Our country had segregation which included having restrooms for "Whites Only". So, the only way to have a film with a black character was for a white performer to do the role in blackface. Judy Garland may not have even seen this as distatsteful as we do today. She was doing her job as an actress. I am not saying this was right, just reminding people to take it easy on Judy Garland.

She probably thought nothing of it, other than a great break and opportunity. Blackface was a standard part of American entertainment back then.

Garland not only objected to blackface, she didn't care to perform swing music at all. At the time she said, "I'd rathed be singing opera, but they tell me that swing is where the money is." Dick Cavett once asked acclaimed Oscar winning actor Gale Sondergaard if she objected to making silly movies like "The Spider Woman". She told him she was under contract and she did what she was told to do. Under the studio system, actors were property.

@@denniskane1870 Eh, they often never actually paid the actors, instead setting them up with room and board, then pocketed all the profits.
It starts a little slow but picks up nicely. She puts her own spin on this old timey mash up and has some very unique dance moves/mannerisms. Make-up' s a little heavy though.
Holy cow imagine my surprise when I stumbled over this ! Poor Judy. Her breasts were strapped for The Wizard of Oz ,she was put on speed to lose weight, and who knows what else happened to her. Such a sweet woman. I always loved her. R.I.P. Judy . You're a shining star.
Lmao you gotta do better
@@precioussweet636 ?
She was likely on speed for this as well.. ive seen those kind of eyes before. (Im an ex addict)
True. She was known as Speedy Strapped Tits around the MGM studio.
I love how all the empathy is aimed at Judy Garland and not the people damaged by this disgusting depiction. ;)
To be honest all I think about was how my family felt back in the day.When black face was introduced.All I could say is that I’m black and I will always be proud of that.
😂😂😂
Lmao
You know you want to be angry at anyone for racism look to the governments ,we were fine in our tribes before they came along ,well everything was fine ,we looked after everyone, the land ,visitors from other tribes and nations,look around today see the state of everything, poverty,sickness,racism,pollutants especially our seas we always looked after everything and everyone, now we under rule look at the damage to our planet,the violence, depression need I go on . And are not things supposed to be better under a government I would say it very scary at the times we live in. When you listion to people who have been traumatized by governments who declared war,stripped people of their culture threw them into towns and cities and make us function this ridiculous way of life ,who is to blame?,people are realising and moving back into nature away from governments who in my opinion have caused all the damage. No one is happy well those under a government ,and they force their unjust way of life on us. When I heard that once governments brought over Africans into America they had a water fountain that said blacks and whotes WHATON EARTH,blacks was not allowed to drink from the white man's fountain, how disgraceful and quite shocking to me ,we are all God's creatures . I feel for everyone over the centuries for how badly they have been treated as they are all God's creatures equal whether a human,a fly a forest a stream even a speck of dust as this was all created all has a use and all must be respected. Alot of people are forced to do what they don't want to do and we give them backlash ,that is making a mockery of Judy and insulting her as a human being. No one would want to be part of that and I bet even she had nightmares I feel sick watching it ,it is the first and last time for me. There is so much we do against our will,or we are repressed ,not even being able to speak our minds without being made to believe even our thoughts are wrong. I'm fed up with the world and it has got to the stage rich or poor this is now a very depressing planet to live on ,God created a happy human,a beautiful planet,enough for every man's need not his greed. I know all this for fact I'm a shaman and see how we functioned before a rule ,and I will not be repressed I will say it how it is I will not be silenced like everyone else ,I would be willing to be thrown in jail for speaking up ,about time everyone said enough is enough, many can see we just spiraling downwards no way out ,you all need to make your lives better ,you don't need to be ruled and keep putting up with the madness around you ,do you not see where it is leading,those gone back into nature ate so happy ,spiritually fulfilled ,stress free ,different people who are no longer lost.

From Dublin 💚
If you're eyes are covered then you will not be able to see that she opposed it. She was a woman who had to do it because that's how it was in Hollywood back in the day.
And that's how it was for the African Americans who were ALSO forced by "the way things were" in Hollywood, Vaudeville and Burlesque theater as well to PUT "cork" on their already Black Skin to perform IN "Black Face" or not perform at all unless they were performing in an all-Negro production, for an all Black audience in a "Chittlin' Circuit" performance space/auditorium. The lunacy of this country's treatment of HUEman beings is something that has a 400 year+ debt of hell-to-pay
Had to? Like, at gunpoint?
@@fredrickkenley674 have you done research to know? She was 14 here. The studio pretty much owned her at this point and she was forced into these roles as contractual obligations. Judy was known as a huge civil rights activist and no doubt had no interest in the slightest in performing this heinous role - she was drugged and starved until the companies she was under were satisfied that she’d do what they needed her to do. A lot of this contributed to her issues with drugs that led to her demise and overdose.
@@kennanlukacs Who ordered the bull shit sandwich?
@@kennanlukacs I didn’t realize her life played out like this. I got recommended a bio of her life after watching videos of bobby Driscoll
What film is this from?
Edit: It's from Everybody Sing (1938)
Imagine if she was singing in German.... everyone would be out of their minds
People need to understand something... This took place when women had not even been voting for 20 years yet. She was 14 years old here. Do you really think a 14 year old female could have said no to this? She had to lose a significant amount of weight to even be considered for The Wizard of Oz and that came out the year after this did. She was still shamed for being too heavy. She was even smacked in the face while shooting The Wizard of Oz by the director. Please try to understand all of this before you shame her for it. It's obviously racist but consider the circumstances.
Women back then had to do a lot of things I'm sure they didn't want to do because they simply weren't allowed to say no.
Exactly. This was an unfortunate part of American culture at the time but anyone who knows Judy knows she didn't have a prejudiced bone in her body.
welp hello I didn't know her personally but neither did you, so that's not a valid argument. Also, not sure if you can read, but I said "It's obviously racist"... Not once did I defend blackface OR racism. I defended a 14 year old girl. There's a difference.

I think in that situation a lot of 14-year-olds would go along with it because from what I've found out she was around 14 in this performance that are 16.

😂
To the people who have entertained “canceling” Judy, just look into her life in the industry. Especially her early life with MGM. That little girl didn’t even have any type of autonomy over what she did with her own body. They forced her to take hard drugs to keep up with a sleep depriving schedule so she could perform how they wanted her to. You think she had a choice in playing this park? Blame the disgusting directors, producers, and writers for this who thought that this was a brilliant isea
Luckily, I haven't seen anyone "cancel" her yet.
So they forced her to wear blackface? DAMN
nobody is canceling judy garland, she died half a century ago. you’re fighting invisible enemies dawg
@@ttdanimations1231, Look at the responses in the comments, there are many people who blame Judy for her "choice" to act there.
It's a relief to be able to visibly tell that Garland is miserable doing this and was under contract and didn't want to. There were actresses back then that would have done this and more to get noticed, but Garland clearly didn't need to or want to. Poor thing.All they did to her, is it any wonder she ended up the way she did. Bless you Judy.
Oh please she did blackface again singing FDR Jones. You white gays are always looking for excuses!
What a beautiful song. I like her makeup.
@@cheaserceaser racist much? Why would you like this
@@user-et9mc6gv3y I don't see anything racis' here. It was normal to do black face in the 1930s (e.g. speak-easy bars and venues).
@@cheaserceaser doing black face is literally racist..
This certainly isn’t the “Black National Anthem!” and it sure does nothing for Judy Garland’s character! It shows how acceptable this image of black people was among white America! It wasn’t okay then and although black people have surpassed the sting of kinda this ignorance, it’s still unacceptable!
The Black anthem is a beautiful song born out of pain and despair. “LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING” is picking up momentum once again and I’m proud to see it!

@Randy marsh no it was definitely racist.
They wore black paint to deny black People opportunities in theater. That is racist. There is no misunderstanding but yours

I'm glad that this piece of history was shared - I had no idea Judy Garland was contractually forced into performing in blackface during her career. Acknowledging and learning from our nation's past (speaking as someone from the US) is the only way to move forward toward equity and inclusion. I hope that we reach that goal in my lifetime.
Lots of across and actresses were against black face, but were forced to do it by their companies. An actress of the same generation as Judy was forced to do black face for an advertisement, but when interviewed about it, she said she did not want to do it and wished she stuck to her fine about not doing it. An actor of an earlier generation said the same thing about a part he did in a movie.
We already have reached that lol there just people that wine about things they don't have and blame it on racial inequality name one thing a black or brown person can't do in America?? As a brown Dude there's nothing I can't do even if people like u say there is
Guarantee he loved every minute of it, I don't believe for once second he didnt want to do it.
Yes, I agree. I find this shocking and very offensive. I don't believe Judy was a racist though. Just the song and costume and makeup is horrendous.

Its the mic.

After many research for my studies I can claim that this is not the Black American National Anthem but the song Swing Low, Sweet Chariot which is an American black spiritual song written in 1880s
Correct. "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is a song that is often referred to as an unofficial "Black American National Anthem"
We know
The song is catchy hinestky
lol and you research this lol
Oh!! Thank you lol
Remember that Judy had no choice in what roles she took. She was a child when this was filmed and in those days actors were under contract with a single studio. She did whatever they told her or she would have never worked in Hollywood again.
I think the comment section is split between "this is racist", "this is breathtaking" and "this is heartbreaking"
It’s all of those things. But it’s not the good kind of breathtaking, it’s more like “Fucking Christ this is a horrifying part of history”

Judy was forced into this - poor girl had no control over her life since others took that from her RIP Judy
this reminds me of when i was 7 and jimmy carter was president. we lived in a duplex that shared a porch with the unit next door. they had a little girl not yet 18 months old. they taught her that her diaper was a pocketbook and they would sneak up behind her and put wet leaves down the front of her diaper and tell her jimmy carter did it. she would scream STOP JIMMY CARTER and rip her diaper off then they would laugh hysterically. they did it until she was exhausted from screaming. then they taught her to cuss. they told her that as long as she danced jimmy carter would not come and get her. she danced on that front porch all the time. they told her if she would cuss jimmy carter from the porch he would not come and get her. she spent so much time holding onto the bars of the porch railing like she was in jail and cussing jimmy carter as loudly as she could. the neighbors all hated her. the year they told her jimmy carter not santa was bringing the presents she went to bed crying and saying she did not want anything. it got to where if you just said his name she would start screaming and run hide in the bushes. it was a long 4 years for her.
how is this different from a p diddy party
I had no idea Judy Garland was forced to perform this. It really does show how Hollyweird mistreated and disrespected her

It’s interesting that more people feel bad for the actress and not those her character is making fun of. No matter what, excuses will be made.
Judy was 16 when the studio and her mother made her do this... she was also drugged out of her mind by the studio. By 17, she was addicted to barbiturates and amphetamines and needed treatment. What adults around this kid did to her should have landed them all in prison. She was an abused child. That's not an excuse, that's a reason.
