  • With the recent controversy over Megyn Kelley's remarks in which she questioned why wearing blackface on Halloween was offensive, "Sunday Morning" contributor and WCBS anchor Maurice DuBois looks at the long and complex history of white (and even black) performers painting their faces black. For more than 100 years, minstrel shows were a popular form of entertainment on stage and film, reducing an entire race of people to stereotypes. DuBois speaks with Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Margo Jefferson, and with Eric Lott, cultural historian and professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, about the complicated history of a racist theatrical form.

    • @netkosent1620
      @netkosent1620 Před rokem +8

      Probably more complicated than that, right? Just like the black actors doing it, the white actors have expectations they have to meet (same as today really, even CZcamsrs). It really reflects upon the people as a whole though, which are the machine that drives what we think is popular or trending. So the actors may or may not have hated black people, but it lets you know where society as a bigger whole was at during those times to even begin to think that it's okay. More so, similar to the Nazis, the white people in power were creating a system to convince people that black people are a certain way (was even intended to make black people also think that about their own people). Nazis used their propaganda machine to do the same and even if you weren't a German against Jewish people, it created a societal normal that desensitized the masses toward the horrific things they were doing and going to do; even if you disagreed, your voice was diminished by the voice of society so you didn't speak/act out against it. Sort of like when people say "boys will be boys," it completely dismisses the behavior and intent by implying that its simply something normal that one should accept. However, the actors and such today, it shows you where society is at now. They did what they did, and instead of society accepting it, they dealt with it instead. Personally, I learned a lot from this video about it and didn't really know the history to it at all. I wasn't the best student in the world, but I'm positive they never taught us this in school here when growing up. Anyways, as you said, it's all insane really. I'm glad that I was born into a generation that we can all sit and reflect on it together though. Wasn't that long ago where that wasn't possible. Sometimes it's hard to see/hear through all the noise from the previous generations that are still alive, but the newer generations are more united together with each other than any of the previous generations have ever seen. Only a matter of time now. Probably even the reason why the Gov been trying to divide us a lot more lately; they don't want us working together.

    This really needs to be taught in school, so many kids today see being black as a 'cool' or 'edgy' thing, so they try to copy us. But, they don't want to 'copy' the experience, or remember the history behind it.

    • @dickbiggerjr3613
      @dickbiggerjr3613 Před rokem

      That's because black culture glorifies young black men who rap about committing crimes.
      White children have been forced to integrate and are confused by that glorification,they try to emulate the trends they see in black culture and it leads them down the path to prison.
      When the opposite happens and a black child acts like he had some home training it can actually turn out well.

      Social Engineering:
      1. Charles Darwin's: 'Theory of Evolution' is international Racism/White Supremacy brainwashing program (the Theory of Evolution is a hoax).
      2. Charles Darwin's books:
      'On The Origin Of Species: By
      Means Of Natural Selection
      Or The Preservation Of The
      Favored Races In The
      Struggle For Life'
      'Descent Of Man: And
      Selection In Relation To Sex'
      [These 2 books are the
      Racism/White Supremacy
      brainwashing training
      manuals]
      3. Charles Darwin claimed (through his books and Theory) that the "more evolved" Race must dominate, eradicate and replace the "lesser evolved" races according to "natural law"; Darwin says that "Evolution" is the so-called "natural law".
      4. There is no evidence available (in the Life Sciences); No evidence to support Darwin's Theory of Evolution (simple creatures "turning into" complex creatures).
      5. There is no evidence available (in the Life Sciences); No evidence to support Darwin's concept: "Survival of the Fittest" or "Only the strong survive".
      [In the Life Sciences, we find that the "fit" and "unfit" may or may not survive; The "strong" and the "weak" may or may not survive.]
      6. The primary element, and common thread (quiet as it's kept), in the "manifestos' of most of the Mass Shooters etc.; The common thread is: Darwin's Theory of Evolution (and its associated concepts).
      [Hitler, Stalin, King Leopold, Mussolini, Francis Galton, Margaret Sanger etc. Were all fanatical Darwinists.]
      7. The APA (American Psychological Association) apologized (October 29th, 2021) for establishing and promoting ideas based on the false concepts of Darwinism/Eugenics/Racism/White Supremacy.

    Obviously blackface alone is offensive with its exaggerated features and using literally black makeup but I think the real aspect of it that offends a lot more (to me, at least) is the manner in which the White person takes it upon themselves to "act like a Black person." Or at least act like how they think a Black person behaves which usually amounts to a bunch of stereotypes that are dehumanizing.

There are stereotypes of traits, expectations, behavior, inflection, ability, and more. If I were to identify a specific stereotype to correspond to that list, I'd say the exaggerated lips are a trait, then there are low expectations for success that people impose on all Blacks, as well as impulsive behavior, a "ghetto" inflection on speech, and the alleged inability to evolve which gives people the green light to throw at them the very dehumanizing and hurtful comparison to monkeys and chimps.

In Alaska, which is almost exclusively white, every citizen gets a paycheck each year from the government. Let's not mention in the 30s and 40s the millions of homes and land the government handed out almost exclusively to white people by backing their loans. These are all facts you can look up. The vast majority recipient of government money are white people, who then look down on anyone else who receives any help. Why don't you tell them to stop looking for hellp from the man

But this just pisses me off so much because I can’t possibly imagine what it’s like to make others feel like they are in charge and on top of the world because that’s what THEY think is right! How would we all like it if the same treatment was given to us. I understand that tragedy strikes all and knows no color or possession. At the end of the day we all live on the same rock, have the same blood, and the same color of bone. Each and every person is blessed with creativity. I appreciate that I have learned history and changed my outlooks on life because this is truly heartbreaking when you think about all that was never mentioned or documented.. much love and respect and I’m sorry..

    ADVICE TO ANY PARENT WHO HAS CHILDREN WHO WANT TO DRESS UP AS BLACK HISTORICAL FIGURES FOR ANY REASON:
    If you're child wants to be a black historical figure for Halloween, School, what ever reason but their not black then they can just don't make them wear black face, for p example: When I was in third grade, we had a activity to tribute for people like George Washington, Abarham Linkin, Matin Luther King Jr, ext. I wanted to be Harriet Tubman but I'm a white girl and she's black... Not a problem, I was a *white* Harriett Tubman and did *not* use blackface, my mom was scared but then I told my mixed teacher who I was (she's mixed between black and white) and she was delighted! She even told me that I was her favorite since Tubman was her hero!
    In short, don't use blackface. Your child can just be a different race version of the black person they're trying to be.

      Isn't painting your face considered "blackface" only when done in an exaggerated form that mocks black people? Typically with the addition of some silly performance? I fail to see how the makeup would fit into this if done respectfully, in cosplay, for example. Dunno, maybe I'm just purist when it comes to cosplay, and like it to be as close to the portrayed character as possible. ^^'

No. No one said anything about black people being more superior than whites. No one said that. We are all equal. And it’s people like you that start fights. We are angry because even with all the facts saying that this is terrible, people still have the nerve to say “Well, black people steal more than whites” or “Black people complain too much” or “This isn’t a big deal”.
