[78-L] Obama quotes Dorothy Fields (not OT, the song was on 78)

[Tom]

<<  I suppose we aren't allowed to watch any Al Jolson movies for the time being. >>
 
The stereotypes of African Americans portrayed by Al Jolson actually are offensive. To say that << ... if you pay attention to Jolson's performances, he did not make fun at all - his most heart-rending (over the top, if you will) performances were about love for Mother, love for Home, love for a simple life >> really is a case of putting lipstick on a pig.
 
Love for a simple life?
 
You are joking, right?
 
Let's bring back the good old days of racial segregation and polio while we're at it.
 
But hey, watch what you want.
 
Need that 1-800 number for Netflix?

If all  "black face" performances are forbidden to be shown on
vintage  movie
channels, does this mean we can no longer enjoy Dumbo?  Remember  the crows
singing "When I See An Elephant Fly?"



Four Black Crows?
