With sites like 99problems.org and blackplanet.com/99ProblemsDotorg, people now can voice their opinions on just about anything dealing with problems in the community or life. This "blackface" would not fly nowadays.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591693944423890183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-71939027732057024732009-02-13T19:34:00.000-05:002009-02-13T19:34:00.000-05:00pascaceleste;I think my friend Bram was being face...pascaceleste;<BR/><BR/>I think my friend Bram was being facetious.Dayvoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971560627535402858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-14363978146473969262009-02-13T18:19:00.000-05:002009-02-13T18:19:00.000-05:00Did honorably by the American minority?

Geesh, so glad I attended a B-PEP meeting and watched the NAACP 100 yr celebration yesterday with Jennifer Hudson singing to Muhammad Ali and not thinking much about A-bra-ham saving us darkies. Having talent and some brains makes these kinds of things even more offensive. It is about entertainment and not the uplift of humanity...that is perverse.412Equity Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244343500750091675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-91093390776332251462009-02-12T21:22:00.000-05:002009-02-12T21:22:00.000-05:00Let me tell you what.

It's just that good.<BR/><BR/>Our two protagonists are obviously in a sticky situation, and their decisions were more a function of self-preservation than enjoying blackface. Furthermore, given the images are ugly and evocative, that was one of the most deep and evocative musical remembrances I've ever heard. I think they did honorably by the American minority, at least in this clip.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-76414035108675970362009-02-12T11:51:00.000-05:002009-02-12T11:51:00.000-05:00Here is some info on Lincoln and slavery:http://ww...Here is some info on Lincoln and slavery:<BR/><BR/>http://www.lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo104.htmlHenryJacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678201055142104198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-68954696056034292442009-02-12T10:44:00.000-05:002009-02-12T10:44:00.000-05:00Holy Cow.

I remember actually loving this movie and often look for it around Christmas time, but I've never seen it again. I can't believe my young self (I was probably under 12) didn't process that as really offensive. Times have changed so much.JenEnglandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187324279024758768noreply@blogger.com
