@thehmc1.. Well answer this. Why all of a sudden do you white people wanna claim us blacks when you see how talented we are back then she was considered black so she is now thats the reason so many mixed people say they are blacl because you all didnt want anything to do with them.. Im starting to believe it's true white people always wanna take things and say it is theirs.. Some people say im mexican but i'll be DAMNED if one of you whites tell me im not black, mixed or not don't try to claim
josephine baker a spoiled ungrateful french white wannabe.. read her biography after many years of basking in glory she left her sugardaddy heartbroken used him to max then dumped him like a sack of hot coal. i have no respect for users
She was doing the Charleston which was considered SCANDALOUS back then. And the hip roll. And she had short hair. She was probably considered a slut, but without her, where would our entertainment be?
Stop with all this "one drop rule" shite, why can't black people just accept that Josephine herself knew she was BIRACIAL and had a white father? Christ what's so wrong with being half?? She was a beautiful, talented MIXED woman, why can't we just leave it at that? Why does she have to be black before black people can be proud of her?
@TheHmc1 First of all I'm tired of people who aren't black constantly redefining what blackness is. Yes we have been intermixed, but we share a common heritage, that's what makes us black.
I love how Josephine was half nude sometimes and she didn't do it to be sexy. She did it to show the art of dance. Not like today where all female pop stas are half nude just for attention and money. Their image just screams "I'm easy and I'm only good for a one night stand". Whatever happened to nudity and semi nudity being an art form? When I look at Josephine Baker I actually see a WOMAN who's passionate about African dance. Oh how times have changed...
even if she was bi racial bavk in the day if u had a tear drop or 3/5 of black in u u were considered BLACK! dosent matter if u passed the papaer bag test (skintonetest) so white people she was black! u cant take credit for EVERYTHING!!!
@562nellybee It doesn't matter her dances are African inspired. Look at capoeria,salsa, and look at the joint defying dances all over Africa and American dances that came from them like krumping, etc. I love looking at Ethiopians twist their heads and bounce their shoulders, so many amazing things about culture people are ignorant too. That hip shaking came from some where she can just do it amazingly well! Just a shame no one knows anything about their culture.
@TheMordida oh, but it does matter----because they are. truth is enough and fortunately clubs the schoolyard and the streets were not only dance academies----for my people---but preservation sanctuaries---T.S.I.B, Albuquerque museum of Art and History, and final student of the late Ms.Katie Dunham, (founder of Dance Anthropology)
Personally i love to see artist pay homage to artist that inspire them.Beyonce paying respect to josephine is amazing and helping to keep that legacy alive.Josephine would have been..floored to see girls from the 21st century still looking to her as a blueprint for success.

@TheCaptainLulz Yeah, you're right, it's amazing this film survived. 90 percent of silent movies are gone. The old film went bad pretty quickly. If it starts to smell like vinegar then it's going bad. Sometimes when it got old it would kind of melt and turn into an unstable form of nitroglycerine which could detonate without even being touched.
Whoo, you all just don't want black people to have credit for shit do you. Well...somebody thought Josephine was black with an African jungle scene here. Africa has only one country with jungles, and that's the Congo in central Africa, the rest of Africa is desert, savanna, and coastal, and arid. I see the racist ignorance still plays itself today. Somebody thought she was black which is why she segregated aginst and made to enter through kitchens. This girl is from east St. Louis. She was black
The black woman, at her physical best, with her round derriere, arched back, well shaped waist, and sturdy legs, is a goddess and puts the shame the beauty of other races of women. White women plump their lips, add in butt implants, tan their skin risking skin cancer to look like darker women. Josephine was a black woman and you whites can try your best to claim her but you cannot. Your flat assedd bitches can never compare. And you age at 25.
@deep71483 Black women today do the same, and butt implants are far more popular among black women, especially the dangerous illegal ones because of the stereotype that black women have big butts. Black women also bleach their skin and relax their hair often burning and scaring their skin and scalp.
In many studies (see a girl like me on youtube) black children prefer white dolls to black dolls because of this unfortunate inferiority complex among blacks. You have it. You just express it oddly.
@neecee401100 no, it's really true. she even confessed she drew inspiration from her during her live performances. even that apparition in the glass of champagne during th video of "naughty girl" isn't original
@iamcarpetpython And there was segregation in America because of ill bred hatred. Not because of a music genre that did not yet exist, in fact segregation and Jim Crow laws is the reason why Josephine left America and pursued a career in France, ignorance like.

@vintagechica82: I think they would have... Grace Jones had to go to Europe to pursue her dreams of being a model, and they loved her. Grace is very dark and has a wide nose... She's also very striking
Europeans look down on Americans for being so racist that Josephine had to leave the country to pursue her dreams, but I wonder if they would have loved her the same if she had been 100% black i.e. if she had darker skin and a wider nose. Her mixed heritage is obvious.
@vintagechica82 OF COURSE THEY WOULDN'T. THAT'S THE FREAKING POINT. That's why modern AAs dont see how tremendous a difference is between being Black and being mulatto. In America you're just AA, go to Europe and check for yourself, they drool over biracials, because they are exotic in their homogenous countries and have all the features native White women want to have, tan skin, full lips.
BLACK women on the other hand are considered ugly.
@Rockstafeller RU KIDDING? In Paris and London: it's ridiculous how many white men you see with very dark African women. It's like insane and beautiful! It's wonderful to see. You are wrong, European men love black women very dark and remember they are getting a lot of African immigrants so that is why they go after that type. Trust me on this.
You are a joke. I've seen so many dark skinned black women who would put any woman to shame. You have a narrow idea of what beauty is. Why are the highest paid models all dark over in Europe? You are such a moron.
Answer from my Eastern European homeboys for "do you think Black women are beautiful?" - "those white looking ones from rap videos yeah, but in Africa hell no". nuff said.
@Rockstafeller why does it hurt you so much to find out the truth? black women - dark black women are getting a lot of European men. In a way, you would say it is a fetish it happens so much. In America, it might be different but you should see these white guys with young dark black girls. Amazing. So you are wrong and I know it pains you to hear it. Travel a bit more you would see.
Africa is a continent, one of the most diverse continents. All Africans do not look the same. Your ignorant Russian friends may believe all Africans look like Idi Amin which is not the case. They come from various phenoytypic features. All human life originated in Eastern Africa. Black women are ugly to you because the racists have brainwashed you. Believe me, God doesn't make ugly. If you think all dark skinned women look like Idi Amin, you are a moron, lol.
@deep71483 ". All human life originated in Eastern Africa." - wtf that gotta do with the case? why do i fuckin hear afrocentric idiots repeating that shit all the time? humans didnt even look like modern ones back then and just because it originated there, there is ABSOLUTELY NO CONNECTION TO THIS MYTHICAL ABUNDANCE OF FEATURES from this fact hahahaha
@ginaginn44 how many crossover international successes in the showbusiness industry you know that look like india arie and are considered generally pretty, not weird like alek wek?
Honestly, when I see white male/black female relationships, the female is usually very dark. I always believe it is the white men that tend to appreciate the natural haired, dark skinned black woman. Rocksta is talking out of his racist ass.
Proves you know nothing about the diversity of Africa. Blacks come in multiple phenotypes that don't have to be mixed by outside cave dwellers and Arabs. You can't admit that the beauty of black women is unique and trumps your flat assed mop haired bitches any day of the week. At least black women keep their youth for a long time unlike your cave girls that crack at 25. Oh I'm not mad, just amused by your stupidity.
Seriously? Fuck off and stop being racist. The only reason a minority of white women tan their skin is because travelling abroad is popular. They want to look like they got enough money to fly abroad. It's a class and wealth thing, not a race thing. As for whites aging earlier, while that is true, unless you are a chain smoker, I doubt it will show up at 25. It's mainly because whites live in all sort of hot places now and their skin isn't designed for it, they're more delicate.
@Rockstafeller I have never in my life watched a music video with black women in it said to myself, "they look white" um black girls don't look white, we just don't.
Funny, they were sexing those 'dark African' women, just look at the mult-generation mulattos throughout America. Perhaps you Eastern Europeans may be racist, but western Europe is more appreciative of darker beauty. You are so stupid in your thinking. Why are all the popular fashion models from Africa, then?
@vintagechica82 She was not directly biracial... It's a known that a large majority of ALL African-Americans have one or two caucasion grandfathers(the number of generations back depends) due to their ancestors enslavement in North America. Both her parents were considered Black. It is indeed rare to find any African-American alive today or yesterday who does not have this mix race heritage/
@Rockstafeller Please ask any AA you know and they will give you the same information i did. We are unable to tell how many white grandfathers we have because of the situation ending in 1865. Though genetic studies have already indicated that over 40% of AA have ancestry tracible to Europe. Its in our DNA. So if both of your parents have tracible European DNA you look like Josephine or most AA. Nothing malicious here, just nerdy science talk from me.
No, most African Americans are genetically mixed people like Josephine thanks to the white slave masters not keeping their dicks off the black slave women. Most African Americans have at least 25- 30% Caucasian DNA from the paternal side. As well as many people who claim to be 'white' may have some form of recent black ancestry.
@deep71483 lmaooo at those percentages you do not look like Baker, you must have never seen a biracial person, although that would be weird considering the president
Cave boy, your women have the flattest asses and try their best to have the plump lips and full asses of black women. Your ancestors couldn't wait to stick their dicks into these chocolate goddesses while white mistress was waiting in the background. So they spread lies about black women. Perhaps you are thirsting for black pussy that your pale-pink, pimply small dick can never get. Upon seeing a ravishing dark beauty, your lice infested, shit smelling Russian butt buddies will be in awe.
@MrInternetDude Considering the childhood she had to endure, and the fact that Ms. Baker had to leave her own country to get recognized (America being a nation of sexual hypocrites and closet clowns), and her amazing philanthropy, I find it a shade harsh to conclude she was a "fucking whore". I smell a teabagger.
@MrInternetDude You smell, period. I'm aware of Ms. Baker, not a fan. I don't do fan crap; that's for adolescents like yourself. Now, back to teabagging your cousin.
@MrInternetDude ...Yeah? And how is that different from--Madonna, Beyonce, Cher, GaGa or the talentless likes of Brittney etal? A girls got to get ur attention 1st, right. You surely wouldn't notice if she dressed like a bag-lady...(no offense, BL's out there). L'Baker paved the way for all who strive for artistic freedom; albeit revolutionary or mundane. Brava! & Merci brave angel.
@sfbranmuff I hate all of them but to be honest madonna is talented, and im not talking about talent, im talking aout self awarness which all of them including Baker.
See: Sirens of The Roaring 20's Josephine Bakers career, lovers and what happened to her after 1930. She made the banana dance famous at The Follies Bergere in Paris after thrilling white crowds at The Cotton Club and lived in France for most of her life; 7 marriages (an affair with Ernest Hemingway) and a rainbow tribe of children.
The roaring 20s was wild uninhibited period! I love it! I don't know if that's because all the old footage looked sped up or what...but it's so interesting to see people of that time being so uninhibited and hip. Josephine was really something.
God does make people like her, just that people dont persue it. Nowadays we all want the easy way.. everytime a lil problem shows up we tend to give up easliy and blame God in fact those things make us strong people. She never had it easy but yet she stood for what she believed. We go through certain things due to the decision we make.People want god to work for them and yet they dont do his work... am not judging u, its just a general statement.
I just read a bio that said when she came on stage dancing this, the cry of "What an ass!" lept from the male students in the front rows. Looks like the costume, unfortunately has been added-to in the film. Too bad.
"the rest were adopted" U should be carefull with your formulation, her 12 kids were HER children. biological or adopted MY child is MY child, and I've got only love 4 them.
wonder what kind of mom U are and hope U'll never adopt any children if U someone able to make a difference
No, offense, but let's be honest, if someone is saying that the descendent of one of the children looks like Josephine Baker, how could that be possible when genetically they have none of the same traits. I find ur philosophy however sweet, to be illogical.
whaoh ! so if a child is not geneticaly ur descendant, he's not ur child ? we're a lot of parents caring about heart, not traits or color. As Joséphine
I'm not saying that they are not her children, I am saying genetically they are not related, therefore physically the traits could never be there. If a European woman decides to adopt a Nigerian child, how are they supposed to physically look related. the love is there, but it is missing the logic.
it was hear aura, excitement the provocation that was completely new to europe, it was the new dance and move of the age that made her such a popular sensation. she knew how to make a show, a celebration... during the ww2 Josephine Baker stayed in France through nazi occupation, adopted kids and ha an orphanage...great lady!
I know she was considered a big part of history but at best if she hadnt left NY she wouldnt have acheived much. Shes basically a very good shake dancer which at that time was a dime a dozen in harlem. She didnt even leave the usa because of racism she left because Le revue negre wanted Ethel waters a much bigger star at that time Ethel refused and so did gertrude saunder so Josephine baker went, they loved her and she stayed. She was indeed very lucky
I think that a successful, independent woman like her would not choose to do this dance unless she wanted to.

If you think all dark skinned women look like Idi Amin, you are a moron, lol.

@deep71483 ". All human life originated in Eastern Africa." - wtf that gotta do with the case? why do i fuckin hear afrocentric idiots repeating that shit all the time? humans didnt even look like modern ones back then and just because it originated there, there is ABSOLUTELY NO CONNECTION TO THIS MYTHICAL ABUNDANCE OF FEATURES from this fact hahahaha

Honestly, when I see white male/black female relationships, the female is usually very dark. I always believe it is the white men that tend to appreciate the natural haired, dark skinned black woman. Rocksta is talking out of his racist ass.

Rockstafeller 1 year ago
Proves you know nothing about the diversity of Africa. Blacks come in multiple phenotypes that don't have to be mixed by outside cave dwellers and Arabs. You can't admit that the beauty of black women is unique and trumps your flat assed mop haired bitches any day of the week. At least black women keep their youth for a long time unlike your cave girls that crack at 25. Oh I'm not mad, just amused by your stupidity.

@deep71483
Seriously? Fuck off and stop being racist. The only reason a minority of white women tan their skin is because travelling abroad is popular. They want to look like they got enough money to fly abroad. It's a class and wealth thing, not a race thing. As for whites aging earlier, while that is true, unless you are a chain smoker, I doubt it will show up at 25. It's mainly because whites live in all sort of hot places now and their skin isn't designed for it, they're more delicate.

Funny, they were sexing those 'dark African' women, just look at the mult-generation mulattos throughout America. Perhaps you Eastern Europeans may be racist, but western Europe is more appreciative of darker beauty. You are so stupid in your thinking. Why are all the popular fashion models from Africa, then?

@vintagechica82 She was not directly biracial... It's a known that a large majority of ALL African-Americans have one or two caucasion grandfathers(the number of generations back depends) due to their ancestors enslavement in North America. Both her parents were considered Black. It is indeed rare to find any African-American alive today or yesterday who does not have this mix race heritage/

@ljpmusic yes, actually there are speculations of her father being White.

Rockstafeller 1 year ago
@Rockstafeller Please ask any AA you know and they will give you the same information i did. We are unable to tell how many white grandfathers we have because of the situation ending in 1865. Though genetic studies have already indicated that over 40% of AA have ancestry tracible to Europe. Its in our DNA. So if both of your parents have tracible European DNA you look like Josephine or most AA. Nothing malicious here, just nerdy science talk from me.
ljpmusic09 1 year ago
@ljpmusic09 "MOST" AAs DO NOT look like Josephine, neither have racial makeup like her.
Rockstafeller 1 year ago
No, most African Americans are genetically mixed people like Josephine thanks to the white slave masters not keeping their dicks off the black slave women. Most African Americans have at least 25- 30% Caucasian DNA from the paternal side. As well as many people who claim to be 'white' may have some form of recent black ancestry.

@deep71483 lmaooo at those percentages you do not look like Baker, you must have never seen a biracial person, although that would be weird considering the president
Rockstafeller 1 year ago
Cave boy, your women have the flattest asses and try their best to have the plump lips and full asses of black women. Your ancestors couldn't wait to stick their dicks into these chocolate goddesses while white mistress was waiting in the background. So they spread lies about black women. Perhaps you are thirsting for black pussy that your pale-pink, pimply small dick can never get. Upon seeing a ravishing dark beauty, your lice infested, shit smelling Russian butt buddies will be in awe.

@MrInternetDude Considering the childhood she had to endure, and the fact that Ms. Baker had to leave her own country to get recognized (America being a nation of sexual hypocrites and closet clowns), and her amazing philanthropy, I find it a shade harsh to conclude she was a "fucking whore". I smell a teabagger.

See: Sirens of The Roaring 20's Josephine Bakers career, lovers and what happened to her after 1930. She made the banana dance famous at The Follies Bergere in Paris after thrilling white crowds at The Cotton Club and lived in France for most of her life; 7 marriages (an affair with Ernest Hemingway) and a rainbow tribe of children.

atalante972 2 years ago
No, offense, but let's be honest, if someone is saying that the descendent of one of the children looks like Josephine Baker, how could that be possible when genetically they have none of the same traits. I find ur philosophy however sweet, to be illogical.

whaoh ! so if a child is not geneticaly ur descendant, he's not ur child ? we're a lot of parents caring about heart, not traits or color. As Joséphine
don't find ur mind mostly openned sweety !
atalante972 2 years ago
I'm not saying that they are not her children, I am saying genetically they are not related, therefore physically the traits could never be there. If a European woman decides to adopt a Nigerian child, how are they supposed to physically look related. the love is there, but it is missing the logic.

"mostlyopenminded" said "LOOKS" like her. they are her child, but they dont look like her cause they have the genes of someone else :)
