Ryandfox, you should be ashamed of your ignorant racism. My Jewish ancestors were priests in the Temple of Solomon when yours were swinging from trees and painting themselves blue.
@TorbFriend As Freud would say you are projecting. This video is anti-racism. Sorry to hear your opinion of Celts but Fox is a British or Yiddish name. Mine was Fuchs long before I was born. So yes I'm Jewish and Catholics have priests whereas we have rabbis or kohanim fyi.
Does anyone think the number of white performers who asked to portray him did so out of respect for his person and his art? And I agree. I wanted to youtube Mr. Jolson Dancing.
Before indulging in smug parodies, you should get your facts straight. Jolson did more for black performers than anyone before: hiring them in movies, plays; opening doors for those who followed.
Of course, idiots see blackface makeup and leap to judgement. Back Doors? Jewish Ghetto? Gay lover? Get over yourselves.
@ryandfox there is no satire without reference to some reality. Here the authors play up to the prejudice that, of course the old jews are racist and homophobic. The authors display their own intolerance and ignorance, as do you.
@TheMontrealer I am the author which you shouldn't be ignorant to given the credits and yes "the old jews are racist and homophobic". That is the reality. Orthodox Ashekenazi won't tolerate marriage to a Sephardic Jew let alone a black homosexual. Your sense of nostalgia is stronger than your regard for history.
@ryandfox nice try. Aside from being a cantor's son, Jolson was from from comporting himself as a religious person. But what does that matter? You wanted to get in your modern self-righteous indignation out on immigrants who were struggling to make it in America before your privileged life came to be. They're dead now and can't respond. But hey you got in your cheap chuckles.
PS: The video wasn't on Ashkenazis. It was on Jolson and his mom.
OK, as a "real Black man," I couldn't help but applaud original creativity (snicker) but I didn't think (snicker snicker) that it was very (louder snickers) funny at all (hehehe)!! As a matter of fact (HEHEHE) I am highly outraged (LOL!!) at this atrocity (ROTFLMAO!!!) before me! Ok seriously though, it was very interesting AND funny. There! I said it! Nice job.
Nice to see ANYONE who has the guts to do anything in blackface now. That line about you must be proud of your son performing in jazz clubs where real black men have to go in the back door is a hoot. And when your son gets so rich doing it you can move out of the jewish ghetto-another great line and glad to see SOMEONE doesn't follow political correctness for a change,
There's no fooling you it's not really from 1927. Nothing from 1927 has deleted scenes available on DVD. "supposed to funny or clever" is funny in an ironic way but not clever.

@TheMontrealer I have nothing against Jews, Jolson, or immigrants. You assume too much. You love Jolson. We get it.
