"music has charms to soothe the savage beast". When God created us; He knew the dangers we would face in America.
Being a spiritual People, we were not equipt to hate and kill, He gave the children of Africa the gift of rhythm, a wise weapon to be used against the people intent on destorying a once gentle race. its hard to kill someone who can make you laugh and dance, truly God is wise. this brought us time, for the next generation, we conquered with entertainment. Who can understand this?
Excuse me the whole Human Race is from Africa. And if you talk about peace then ask the Matebele (Ndebele) tribe about the Warrior Zulus constantly coming around to duff them up.
yes we are one family but consider this Joseph and his Brothers
what can you tell me about Africa that you know before the return of family members from the East and North what was life like do you know? are you relying on knowledge learn from this culture and Western Civilization?
when Alexander first encounter them he ponder and decided to leave them in their natural state. Go the search this out then reply with some sense
the main question was; is that before or after european influence? ask her the time period. Africa was a different place before the Invaders, such as the Arabs, and those from the East.
@lzo1953 yes it was.............May i ask, when the Germans came into Africa, what did they do? I have recently seen a Documentary that showed a the German's ( The power that were and are) first genocide is in Africa, correct?
@lzo1953 Dude. Africa is no different from anywhere else in the world. You say 'their natural state' like they're animals. They're natural state is the same as ours. I don't know if you meant it that way, but it sounds kinda offensive. I do agree with what you said about learning stuff in a western civilization, though. We tend to drift from the truth and just teach what makes us look good.
Though it's stereotypical. Many black performers were being humorous and not trying to be a buffoon. It added to the creativeness of their songs and dances. I don't see the charm and humor in black artists today that I see in past black performers, just behinds shaking in front of the camera, which to me is ten times worse. There were many white performers who cooned or made funny faces too. A lot of black performers weren't trying to coon or buffoon.
@aprilflowerchild, if a white person does the same facial expressions nobody would say anything. You are responding this way because you are ashamed that he is so dark skinned.
There is absolutely NOTHING WRONG with what these performers are doing. They were obviously brilliant and extremely talented. Black is BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE IT when Black folk smile, grin and show ALL their teeth.
Like Malcolm X said: Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet?
YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT, YET THEY GOT LYNCHED AND FUCKED OVER AT 100 TIMES THE RATE THEY DO TODAY, SO I GUESS IT REALLY DOESNT MATTER HOW "THEY" BEHAVE, THIS SHITHOLE CALLED aMERICA WILL TREAT THEM LIKE CRAP ANYWAY. btw - I'll bet U never say shit to blacks unless it's anonymously. LOL
This is some real history. All of the black entertainers that we have today should understand it wasn't always so easy in America. This performance is very entertaining, and it was a sign of the times.
If you see other performances of Paul White, it was something he did when performing, so I don't think so. Not to mention this soundie was made after their successful show with Ellington, which was an all black cast.
Producers higher the performances they wanted, and didn't tell them how to perform.
