Oops, sorry, I must of took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and ended up at DU, with its "RACISM" obsession. There was a book out recently about the history of minstrelsy that is a recommended reading to the dumbass, uneducated comment makers.

Meaning what? That blackface isn't and wasn't a racist form of entertainment?

Granted, in it's original form the minstrelsy was indicative of the white man's never ending obsession and jealousy of the black man's culture, talent and sexuality (an freakish yet complimentary tip of the cap), but by today's standards - fuggedaboutit - it's racist pure and simple.

You're scary and to think that you and I think alike on a lot of issues - frightening.
