I wish I was in dixie

[ometrick]

Wtf is this...

[DevoSpencer]

this is insulting, and anyone who doesn't think so really should learn a few things about the origin of blackface

[Ezekyle23]

@DevoSpencer Man i am totally offended at the way they made black faces in this video.

[duckkillerclydeclyde]

at least they got the fire put out

[MeibukanMaster]

Two words: 'White Chicks'

[cherylclair]

Do you fools realize that's Bing Crosby singing? 

[moo2review]

I am an interracial person and actually find this song very inspiring it shows that we as a nation need to be more enthusiastic about our national songs, so right on!

[nteruhiko]

映画の一部なんだね。白人が黒人の真似をして芝居やコメディーを­演じて全国をまわったんだって。Ｄ、エメットがこのディキシーラ­ンドの作詞作曲か。

いい年をした男や女が（紳士、淑女）立ち上がって手を振り

「イヤッホー」なんてアメリカ人そのもの、良いね。陽気で良い時­代だった。

現在も、この気質はかわってないな。自虐、自傷の日本とは大違い­。

ああ、下にMinstrei　shouとなってる。エメットも一緒に全国を廻った。

[FrauleinFive]

It's supposed to be a Minstrel show, what the hell do you expect? Puppies and rainbows?

[CarolinaNIM]

@SamaelTePersigoaTi Yes, that is garbage. It's much worse than the Charismatic Movement of the 1970s. I witnessed that first hand. Many who were part of that have disowned this Brownsville garbage. BTW, how did they screw you out of your chances at academia? I don't follow that.

[CarolinaNIM]

@SamaelTePersigoaTi Would you explain what you mean by Southern brand Neo-Pentecostalism? BTW, I've been the gamut of religious experiences myself. Just what is a neo-Pentecostal? As far as regions, the Pentecostal Movement in America started in California with the Azusa Street Revival in LA in 1905. You might want to send me private messages on this as we are divulging off the subject of the video.

[LPkeykey2010]

@SamaelTePersigoaTi I do hav a last name. However, it's the last name of the person who owned my family during slavery. So, it's a constant reminder of my past. I honestly hate it. Brooks is obviously an English last name. I'm not English. I'm Black.

[CarolinaNIM]

@SamaelTePersigoaTi I was referring to school busing to achieve racial balance. This is Unconstitutional because it is reverse racial discrimination and because it was Federally ordered in clear violation of the Tenth Amendment separation of State and Federal powers.

"This writer" refers to myself. Sorry I didn't simply say that.

I'm no aristocrat either. I just don't want all Whites condemned as slave owners or those who supported such.

I apologize for my assumption of your race.

[CarolinaNIM]

@SamaelTePersigoaTi (Part 2) The welfare state in this same time period has broken down what family structure you had and now we have uncontrolled breeding of savages, new generations about every 15 years.

As for using the N-word, I will make my choice to use it toward anyone based on the word's definition of ignorant, unrefined person, which you have proven yourself to be.

BTW, as much as you will deny this, there were instances of Negro slave owners back in the day.

[CarolinaNIM]

@SamaelTePersigoaTi White Americans condemned Negroes to the ghetto because you didn't inherit Monticello? Wake up to the facts! Only a very low single digit percentage of Whites (definitely not including this writer) inherited anything on the level of Monticello or have any "long lineage of wealth" that you refer to. White people of the past half century have been condemned to suffer the discrimination of busing, quotas, and Affirmative Action just to name a few. (to be continued)

[Leavon]

@SamaelTePersigoaTi I said an original thought, not something you got out of a Textbook. How typical that you fall back and insinuate that a person is racist. By all means continue to quote the words of others, they at least demonstrated original thinking.

[Leavon]

@SamaelTePersigoaTi So you learned that during you freshman year of indoctrination did you? let me know when you have an original thought. Better yet decompress for about ten years after you graduate and learn what its like to be out in the real world and you'll see for yourself that 99.9% of what you just wrote was left behind a male cow.

[LPkeykey2010]

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. And I'm sure my grandparents and great grandparents would agree. And It IS racist...listen ti the song. I hate that song. Most of us black people do. I was asked to look this up for a class. NO I do NOT wiah I was in the land of cotton. I don't have a culture or a last name but I'm a college pre-med/psych student with a 3.8. So fuck all you racist motherfuckers!

[Gzero91]

[sierria64]

THIS IS BULLSHIT .. BLACK FACE SAD.....IM BLACK AND IT IS INSULTING

[g55coffia]

@sierria64 Yea, those hip hop videos really make blacks look great right? LOL!

[theidort]

@sierria64 Because white people imitating blacks (tastefully, at that,) singing a historical song that resonates in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of proud southerners is MUCH worse than a song where a young and popular black person sings songs about killing people, abusing women and selling drugs. Notice they didn't say the word "nigger" once in this video- now go listen to Lil Wayne and tell me this is insulting.

[CarolinaNIM]

@sierria64 You tirade against this, but have you as a black person ever stood up to the modern exploitation films set in "da hood" where your own people call one another n----r and every other obscenity imaginable? I didn't think so. Same thing goes for rap and hip-hop.

[LPkeykey2010]

@CarolinaNIM How do u know what he/she has done? Are you the sll mighty Jesus? "I didn't think so."

[LoganSmithHunter]

and they said the rebel yell was dead

[anatoliduhanin]

This song is the anthem of my heart!

[g55coffia]

This isn;t near as bad as the hip - hop videos, but you never hear anything against them. GOD BLESS THE SOUTH...better people then than now by any means.

[Rion8901]

racist times

[OrodesIII]

Hollywood. Geez.

"Thank-you, Lucius."  Oh brother!

[Bynkers83]

Just like that Spike Lee movie: Bamboozled. Well, the history of the US is a disgrace but I allready knew that.

[oseirus]

Wait a second g2nov3s3 there is nothing derogatory here? The man is in blackface and that is supposed to be an homage? It is mocking and insulting to have those these exaggerated features. The song, sure you can make a case for, as it being a cultural landmark, but the performance, you are out of line for that.

[caliboxer]

Oh my God this is so incredibly offensive I can't even believe the comments arguing otherwise.  Seriously?

[ingvarsb]

Truly a great and emotional performance of a song that forever will linger in our hearts.

[dumbamerica]

here's a favorite of republicans...wecome to white trash america, yall!

[g55coffia]

@dumbamerica Maybe you would like a modern rap song with the homeboys yelling "NIGGER". You got no problem there do you?

[dumbamerica]

@g55coffia i'm not suprised that someone who thinks this song is cool is also proud to be a redneck...fuck dixie and fuck all of the white trash piece of shit hillbillies who were too lazy to pick their own cotton.

[g55coffia]

@dumbamerica Answer my question if you have the guts. Do rap songs make blacks in a positive light & do you make protest at them? And the name calling make you look as the racist.. Sadly you are just a low education soul who is a hater.

What a great video, gives one a tear to their eye.

[Bynkers83]

@dumbamerica LOL! Amen to that!

[weatherservo9]

Quite an irony - watching a colorized version of a song performed in black face. Also ironic, someone suggesting that black face wasn't derogatory.

[gensearch2]

Interesting. You would expect only white guys in black face extol the good old days that blacks had under slavery on the plantation. It seems that what everyone is missing is while the white folks sing about old Dixie, the theater is burning in the background. Not a subtle metaphor for the burning of Atlanta. And after nearly 150 years the South are still losers. [Check the average household income of the Blue States to the Red states. ]

[Mysthunter]

This is the way it was done back in the day...Enjoy it for what it is.

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

you wont see this on turner classc movies anytine this century,,,,,,turn off the video and enjoy the music!

[Gustav92069]

Guilty for enjoying it ??? There wasn't anything derogatory in performing in this manner, this how the theater put on show in the past. God Bless Dixie!!!

DEO VINDICE

[IamHARL0W]

Love the Rebel Yell!

[OleSouthernGentleman]

I think I know what I'm going to be for Halloween!

[DarthMercanto]

Vocally this is a wonderful rendition! I jsut wish it wasn't performed in balck face....Kind of makes me feel guilty for enjoying it :P

[johnyzero2000]

Black face how charming. (GROAN!)

[RazonHistorica]

God bless the South!

[IslandersMets10]

50,000 plus blacks wear the grey uniform for the cause of southern independence. It's part of there southern heritage

[Greenhornet270]

My Heritage....God the CSA forever!

[shillcw]

@Cafeblanx

Sure is!!

[Anatol1984]

They are not true black.

It's not funny :(

[jackdoldseven]

LOL

[Leavon]

There wasn't anything derogatory in perfoming in this manner but the the race baiters will take offense at anything so it's a lose lose situation. Sadly just as minorities like to say that racism is learned behavior they fail to see that they too are passing it along to their children along with a victim and entitlement mentality.

[sflachuck]

@Leavon fuck you you privileged piece of teabag white trash. Your people started this so deal with it...

[Leavon]

@sflachuck Really? "Your people started this"? Who would that be? You nothing about be, you're making quite a few assumptions sadly. In two short sentences you rather ineloquently show several issues. We'll deal with just a few though, that you are unable to have a civil discussion without resorting to profanities and that you started from a false premise to begin with. You'd be surprised at my rather humble origins, but I rose above them and I have nothing to "deal with" sounds like you do tho.

[farronx]

@Leavon

How privileged are U to tell a people what is & what is not "derogatory" to them? Don't look @ people taking offense" to your Ad Hominem's look @ it as Ur being taught your history of how & why "black face" preforming came to be & be gone.

1 thing is for sure (then & now) that only a room full of white folk (in black face) could smell & see the room on fire then take that Titanic approach of turning up the music as opposed to getting the hell outta there.

[Leavon]

@farronx Engaging in a little "Ad Hominem" yourself I see.... Pot, Hello Though I wasn't being insulting now was I? In any event you have a nice day.

[farronx]

@Levon

My comments are factual. Did they not keep playing even in the face of fire? Didn't the same thing happen on the titanic? Why do facts tend to hurt U people so?

U weren't being "insulting" @ all just uninformed. Black-face came to be b/c white folk were too racist to hire blacks for those parts then. Are U too dim witted to not see that as "derogatory",racist & flat out wrong?

If this offensive act is such a great thing to your ilk tell me why is it not done today?

[farronx]

@Leavon

I love when I shut your ilk up & down w/ rational questions of logic & reason.

U folk gotta retreat when ya can't reload. I suppose responding to anything but the questions is still an option for ya huh?

LMBAO...

[sebbrown1]

Compared to TV programmes like South Park this is relativley tame, if you find this offensive then there's something wrong with you.

[Araido1968]

black face performances are abhorrent today... they werent then.. still no less disturbing when watched though... jeez Bing you couldnt do any better than that?

[Darthcombo]

black people singing dixie

[paul4opus]

Bing Crosby did black face? Yikes could you imagine any major actor even trying that today and having a career afterward?

[skidoo5002]

@paul4opus Robert Downey Jr?

different context, but just saying

[rebelrock64]

Look also for the Dixie version of the Dutch band Mac Taple, also on You Tube
