for the record al jolson, the one who performed mammy in "blackface", was a jewish-american. so y'all can save that holocaust jewish racism-victim talk.

Who cares what they think of us? It's suppose to be about what 'WE' think of us. Blacks shouldn't have taken those roles.It's one thing for our enemies to put out negative stereotypical images, another thing altogether for us to sell out and play Sambo, Coon, Mammy, Sapphire and Uncle Tom roles. Asians and other minorities don't demand their image in movies and on tv because they know that they won't be shown favorably. We need to put out OUR OWN POSITIVE images.

most of the people who made these films were socialists from Russia. Do you think they may have had a hidden agenda, deliberately antagonizing black people so they'll consider becoming fellow travelers?

From slavery, civil rights, blackface and all that shabazz I just want to know the one question that can never be answered. What did blacks do to deserve this? Why in history were black people treated so unfairly? Why am I inferior because I have darker skin but am still human. I HATE racism.

So sad but Spike really did see what was coming.

Disgraceful.

First off to everybody, Spike Lee directed this film...pretty sure he's not racist towards blacks. -.- Secondly why does it seem that in todays day & age it's okay to poke fun at every race, religion, etc. EXCEPT black people? Like i'm part mexican & i don't get all bent out of shape evry time i hear a taco or border joke, stop being so fucking sensitive...

i wonder if im the only one that teared up, us as black people were and still are disrespected horrendously,

[GhostOfJulesVerne]

Blackface is so incredibly ridiculous and outdated that it isn't really relevant to African-American politics anymore. But it's incredible to see that that this stuff use to be part of mainstream entertainment.
