What made the minstrel show so bad, is they tried to pass it off as AUTHENTIC BLACK CULTURE just like they are doing WITH RAP MUSIC TODAY. Young black people think this is culture, because so of them weren't formed within families. When you act different than the RAP/MINSTREL culture, they call it ACTIN' WHITE. Oh yes, and young white boys are having a 'field day' hearing these 'coons' make fun of black women, especially if shes dark. (i'm using the word coon like they do nigga)
Great to see the source of America's Variety Show and Broadway--the Minstrel Show--put into perspective. Cool response to a painful and difficult subject. Puts perspective on "the long history of white entertainers becoming rich and famous by marketing in whiteface cultural innovations authored by their under-appreciated black counterparts" Randall Kennedy, 2002.
This was rap was great. No yelling and swearing or girating bodies. You are great as a rapper. I actually understood the rapping. I would put you up there with Will Smith. We do a Minstrel show every year but haven't done black face for 40 years. It's not nice. The first half of the show is done with jokes, and Interlocutor, clowns, front line dancing girls and some solos. Sec. half is different every year. See our Vidoes - St. anthony's Minstrel show.
There's nothing wrong with being informative in rap , and I will admit public enemy is grate but after hearing "I'm black and I'm black" or "MLK MLK MLK MLK" Is a bit obnoxious.

Minstrel shows were hardly offensive. If you want to see what real black people act like, go to a movie theater with them.
