Love this movie, and love this song!
-
@mia2kl so, by putting on black facepaint and a Zip Coon outfit, carrying around a cane, singing a goofy song and deliberately talking like an uneducated fool, you think Bing Crosby is 'identifying with black culture?' Yeah you're right, nobody should be offended at that...
-
@EwoktheMoid agreed. And anyone who knows anything about Bing Crosby knows that he is doing this routine purely for entertainment, not in any attempt to "identify with black culture" or to bring about positive change or any of that.

A line like "scenes like these were the first steps towards understanding between the races" could only be spoken be A) a white person B) who does not understand the history of blackface performance, which was explicit mockery of blacks based on received stereotypes and the perceived absurdity of a "civilized" black man (e.g., the Zip Coon character). Educate yo'self.
