A documentary on the B&WMS?
Is a propaganda piece against it, but it has some decent clips.
Part of me wanted to understand Andy's position and discover if he (or anyone he knows) was personally hurt somehow directly related to the show to cause him to be so hateful.
When i asked directly last time, i didn't see the answer.
While I'm understanding it is not a show fitting into what tv stations desire to make, I'm not understanding why it can't have limited dvd or download release
You're missing my point, John. My complaint is with a show that promotes the practice of putting black-face on white actors, which induces the audience to laugh at this like they are laughing at clowns. The inference is mockery and it is degrading to others.
I'm curious how many of the shows you watched before you started posting on this topic.
I think it was shared before that this was a musical show.. some had blackface and they also acted numerous cultures.
The show is not a comedy or a minstrel show but a musical review.. in fact one could argue the show was progressive as it had blackface men interracially with white women. People were enjoying the music. The race wasn't the focus.
I concede maybe some people could feel offended and i respond two ways. One is as this is pulled, should shows that other groups find offensive be pulled also?
If the makeup was white or orange, would that be offensive to you?
My biggest concern is things that affect children during their formative years. This was an adult show but there are shows aimed at children with things very negatively imitateable with life changing harm to children. Fortunately we're not in a world where drs are attempting to influence children to change their pigment..
Most adults i hope can distinguish between a fictional character and the race of the character.
