I like this presentation. I like this video. I like the presenter. I like everything about this video

Why is this not shared and viral

I dont think its apparent now that blackface content is degrading or was designed to be, if it were not for the wider context of slavery in the US and blacks being viewed as a lesser class of human there.

African American history is the best

Love the mushroom cap hairstyle

Let's take all the black people off of TV off of advertisement and will be all fine

You got something against Jim Crowe, Uncle Tom, Uncle Ben or Aunt Jemima? We love 'em all! Bring them all back please! Minstrel shows are the greatest thing ever invented, bring it back! We don't need your intellectual talk about black people "Miss Trying to Sound White Girl" We love Black face because it's funny high comedy and we hope it comes back. Quit trying to do your Whiteface talk here girl and bring back Blackface sketches like Dave Chappelle and Sarah Silverman were trying to do. We love Jim Crowe an want more of it...u dig. This is all coming from Snoop Doggs best friend a true Gangsta Rappa!

Red Skelton and modern day clowns come to mind ...

G'day from Sydney Australia, They still sell Uncle Bens' Rice (in that exact same packaging) in Australian supermarkets. I can't believe that this is the first time I've realised that this is a portrayal of black face...

It wasn't racist at the time. It was normal.

Hip hop is a minstrel show 😅

Lots of minstrel performers were black. Too much politics and not enough history.

Absolutely wonderful, thank you!!!

I was very interested in the claim made about the underlying context of Oh Susanna. The best I could get was from ChatGPT, which wrote this: The interpretation of "Oh! Susanna" as a song about a black slave desperately trying to get back to their loved ones is not widely supported by historical evidence or scholarly consensus. Stephen Foster's "Oh! Susanna" was written in 1847, and while it does reflect some elements of the minstrel tradition, its lyrics do not explicitly mention slavery or the experiences of enslaved individuals. ChatGPT was concerned at the nature of my question, and, having quoted a few lines of the song wrote: This content may violate our Terms of Use or usage policies. Did we get it wrong? Please tell us by giving this response a thumbs down.

This is a wonderful presentation on a difficult subject. However, rather than shy away from it, the presenter shared facts to not only tell the ugly side, but also of the strength, resiliency, and brilliance of black people to change the narrative and begin to tell their own stories. Again, well done.

I will not watch this as your intro gave an overwhelming impression of a flake and woke mindset. The whole premise that blackface is racist is about as silly as saying a clown's clownface is racist to whites. Neither depict any form of reality.

I see the same thing today in music.

Nicc A plzz😅

Robert Downey Jr and Jimmy kimmel, and jesse lee peterson impersonate african Americans, damn well I might add..

That guy in the taste mask isn't in black face, it's legit black man Jerry Rice, LOL! 4:40

I dont quite know what to type, however i can write that this helped me explain to others about this topic. Many white people still are so blinded by the blatiant level of this kind of thinking and then to use it as the entertainment, burdens my thoughts. Thank you to the set of this channel to let us understand the effects our behavior is detestable....in this direction and unfortunately history. I am humbled to be able to share my words and thinking, Please find my words one of admiration and deep respect for Anyone whom has experienced or has had loved ones effected.

Delve into stereotypes. The definition, examples, false exaggerations with common underlying truths...

It is hard to understand why African American actors would further the stereotypes but bear in mind it was still a job and it was money albeit they were not paid but a fraction of White actors. So while actors like Hattie McDaniel and Bill Robinson may have furthered the stereotype it was still a job and today we appreciate their performances even though they were under extreme social pressure

Victim consciousness should be avoided at all costs.

What about in the highways in Pennsylvania and Virginia a company called Sheetz is still doing that go check it out

What is so racist about Uncle Ben’s? He practically invented par cooked rice, he shouldn’t be cancelled.

i've recently been listening to old blues music, a type of music i haven't really given much of a try, at least the 20's and 30's stuff. I hear "glee" in blues for some reason

One thing I believe you missed is that they didn’t want to pay black actors or make them a star. Just like the cowboys and Indians.

Black face is peak comedy

You forgot the great comedy show Amos and Andy. Now that was a funny show.

America cannot help if the stereotypes were true of that time.

Black slaves were only whipped when they ran away or disobeyed their owner. They were property of the day. Could you imagine somebody blowing up their backhoe today? No because they would not get any work out of it

I do not see black ministerial shows as being racist whatsoever. At that time there were no black actors so white actors had to act like blacks

I agree they never should have gotten rid of Uncle Ben's wild rice, Aunt Jemima's syrup. That is part of American history.

I grew up using Aunt Jemima syrup and going to Sambo's restaurant, and Uncle Ben rice. But it was the woke liberal left that took these great products away from America.

What did you do with the money that your mother gave you for singing lessons? You definitely didn't use them on singing lessons.

Back in the day white people in blackface were funnier and even better actors the normal actors

Trump is very good for america november 2024.

Inclusivity is bad !

blackface is very good. Blackface is very nice and is not a problem. Welcomme blackface ! Out woke and wokisme !!!

Most white blackface performers were Jewish like Al Jolson

We’re born a victim ✊🏾😭 & it pays 💰

Mrs Butterworth was English.

Great doc, thanks for this from Italy

Wow, you are really good at cherry-picking the worst possible examples and utterly ignoring the black performers of the era! Thanks so much for keeping racism alive and well, it seems that is actually your goal.

Who's looking back? I saw all of this in 1980's in Alabama but I had to sneak around as I was raised in the IBLP (duggar cult) where we were not allowed to see TV, film, radio, listen to music with a beat (it was too black), cut my hair, wear pants, speak in a church......

I love it . Same as when the Wayans brothers did White Chicks . It's funny .

This video is so thoroughly researched and well presented. Kudos. I normally don't comment on TH-cam videos, but I was truly struck by how engaging the presenter has made this uncomfortable yet important material. And the production too! How do you not have more subscribers? If all your videos are of a similar quality, I am happy to add one!

4:15 It’s wild that different companies didn’t just take the white ppl off of stuff too since now they’re the only ones on food packaging and no one else is represented.

Thank you, thank you,thank you!!!
