Sorry about that. This is taken from an old video cassette - some of the tape was damaged.....I don't think there was a problem with the cassette. I think YouTube would not let the man post this if the tap scene was left intact.

absolutely appalling... I grew up in Ohio under one of the most biggoted fathers in american history and thankfully listening to years of racist nonsense tqught me to recognize this "entertainment" for the awful place it belongs to in the past.. long, long distant past...
@bgdrewsif Apparently you think this type of entertainment is in the past...black people represented on a stage in crude, stereotypical ways by performers. Apparently you've never seen a rap concert or video. How is this worse than a drag show? I'd rather go see Al Jolson Or Emmett Miller any day than see a drag show or Gangsta rappers.
@bgdrewsif Absolutely appaling!? Hey, bro, check out the history of minstrels and you'll find that it was a welcome vehicle for many struggling blacks. Indeed, many of them (blacks) wrote the 'racist' music and were instrumental in the minstrel's production.
These are the best black actors in Hollywood history bar none

I think it's important to remember the past. If for nothing else but a teaching lesson about our history. It's not always pretty, but it's the truth.

@bgdrewsif It's also rascist to sing Irish songs in an Irish brogue too huh?
