The Black & White Minstrel Show
Now is it because I'm drunk or is this show as racist as people say it is? all I can see is white people making themselves look black and singing?

It's actually annoying me why people think it's racist because I want to know why it is. Am I missing something?

Do you know....In All the really old Tarzan movies, the " natives" are actually Irish immigrants covered in soot
and any dialog is actually Gaelic and not "African" as people were lead to believe
It's what the minstrels is Based on

I've never seen it, but I'm sure it's the blacking up that people find offensive.I don't think they made racist jokes or anything like that.

Neither do I to be honest, but like you say, we're not in the position to say what's offensive.
