  • @bgdrewsif Thank you for your contribution. Did you watch this clip just so you could say that?

  • The tap dancing routine is edited out!

  • @hahaimpatrick Sorry about that. This is taken from an old video cassette - some of the tape was damaged.

  • These are the best black actors in Hollywood history bar none

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

  • 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.

  • Not worth refuting. What is this even supposed to depicted.

  • MORE LIKE CAMPTOWN RASCIST.

  • 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.

  • @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.

  • @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.
