This argument has been presented up on television earlier and the element is Black and White Minstrels the position no longer racist they the position singers who got here about to be outstanding and in simple terms used to sing the classic songs. it really is the politically appropriate gang at present that keeps those idiots in jobs who's sole objective in life is to argue about some thing notwithstanding minor. celebration of that is Shami Chakrabati who's the director of Liberty she moans about each thing and that is the reason we've a nanny state and why our united states of america is interior the mess its in.

It was becuase it was deemed to be racist because of the white men painting their faces black with big white lips. However Al Jonson used this as a form of theatrical device at the time the minstrel show was invented and was a form of good entertainment with singing and dancing. A famous song was 'Mammy' sort sung in a southern drawl and he wore white gloves before Micheal Jackson.

in case they upset black people apparently! I don't think it would do as no way did they take the mickey out of any race. I don't think they even do a stage show now do they? I used to have a friend who was in the show but have lost touch with her. If anyone knows how to contact one of the old cast I'd be grateful. Already tried Friends reunited.
