well it is of course racist... it´s entertainment for the racist white people...
BUT i think the ones doing it werent that racist. They helped a lot and i guess entertaining someone by making fun of yourself is better than dying in slavery

Racist as hell.

fucking fantastic, this is the best, do not be ashamed for the past, do not say sorry to the libs in uk.

This is not exactly racist...but the whole idea of blackface is.
Racism- Hatred based on ignorance.

How could anyone "like" these videos?

@Marxeen So your only a year younger than me. Wow, then you should really educate yourself. Blackface is racist.

I'm a black girll and to me, Al Jolson never implied negative stereotypes when he did blackface. For example, in this clip, he seems to be impersonating an average black man not a "coon."

@YurgesBitch stupid deluded old fool. You honestly don't consider this shit racist? What the fuck is wrong with you?
He wasnt racist at all, when he did this he opened allot of doors for black entertainers at the time. He did this for entertainment. not racist at all!

@YurgesBitch
Jolson was not a racist and you're right about him helping blacks in the business. Entertainment in blackface is racist now and it was racist then but that doesn't mean the person doing it is necessarily a racist. It may be a matter of historical context or simply ignorance.
