It is obivously a song with historic value, just as the movie "The Birth of a Nation".
-
Jump Jim Crow is obviously a racist song.
-
Funny, black persons points out racism even where there is none.
-
lol
paranoid much?

Funny how every time a black person points out racism he's an "idiot". Never fails. BTW, your comment was truly idiotic.
-
Also, the song was made, you know, AFTER the laws were made.
So really, your just an idiot.

The song performed in this video is NOT based on the original "Jump Jim Crow." I don't know what the hell this is because I couldn't understand a word that was sung because of the poor quality audio.

ikachina et al,
You're correct: this is NOT the original "Jump Jim Crow" from 1828. This is Michelle Shocked's tune of the same title that pokes fun at Jim Crow, who was actually a white man in black face. I realize there may be some confusion as the audio IS poor. It was recorded on a fan's cellphone. Since the video is also of poor quality I'd like to point out that our wonderful bass player Dorian, who is singing the song, is of African-American descent.

I love the fact that Papa Tambo knows how to use adjectives and adverbs (as well as nouns), relax Papa. You can not expect to not have a negative response when you display this sort of video. I would like to carry on with you and learn of your ideology. Send a response soon.

fozrockski,
I apologize for not replying sooner. Thank you for the very kind compliment regarding my grammar. My ideology? Well, as they say, "it's complicated". I suppose it would include a love and respect for a well constructed sentence, argument, song, musical instrument, building, bridge, space shuttle, cosmos, and espresso machine.
