it's not illegal anywhere, but it is generally considered offensive, the way that any other deeply stereotyped racial presentation is considered offensive. If you watch very old movies (films from the 1920s and 1930s) you'll see off-color depictions of many races (particularly Africans, Chinese, Italians, American Indians, and the Irish, which were all prominent subcultures in that era) performed by white actors. Blackface stands out primarily because of the particular tension in the US between whites and blacks, and the dramatic makeup needed to carry off the effect.

interestingly, blackface did not begin as a form of mockery, but was a theatrical motif used to represent blacks in plays and entertainments in a society where only whites could be actors or entertainers. After the emancipation, however, it could only be seen as a form of regressive social commentary.

  • Larry Parks received an Oscar nomination as Best Actor of 1947 for his portrayal of singer Al Jolson in "The Jolson Story." During his long career, Jolson did many blackface routines, and the movie reflected that.

The racial slur "blackface" is Theatrical. The actors and actresses would put a dark shade of make-up and pretend to be a black person publically, and on stage, basically making fun of black people. This dated all the way back to slavery.

Minstrel shows perpetuated racist stereotypes about African Americans by using blackface, exaggerated accents, and caricatures to portray them as dim-witted, lazy, and subservient. These performances reinforced harmful and offensive ideas about people of African descent, contributing to the institutionalization of racism.

Yes, there were a few people of color in the original 1915 movie. And, there were some white actors in blackface. The point of view of black people as well as the support of the Ku Klux Klan is not appreciated as accurate in the current day. The 2016 film of the same name is produced and acted by Nate Parker, who is black and has many black actors in it.

That's a very specific question - but I'll do my best. Classical Music was big but not considered "popular". In the mid-19th Century, minstrelsy (minstrel shows) became popular (though considered racism - when blackface was used). At the very end of the century, ragtime (the forerunner to jazz) started to become popular.

Inside the mainland USA, it is not illegal to attempt and act out black face. It is advised not to attempt it in public as it may incite violent reaction. Online would be the best option.

Example of black face on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxIg_vaNkUw

It is only public opinion that "racist material" is not guaranteed by the 1st Amendment, however that just isn't true and many court cases have thrown out the issue, although those that did convict only forced a public apology. Many will try to dispute it's legality, but rest assured, it is 100% not illegal and anyone else arguing will eventually find out in due time with research.

Restaurants and Businesses can ask you to leave. In public domain like a sidewalk, you might be asked to leave for disturbing the peace (unless it is part of a skit/act that is part of a larger performance).

The "Golliwogg" (later "Golliwog") is a rag doll-like, children's literary character created by Florence Kate Upton in the late 19th century. The Golliwogg was inspired by a blackface minstrel doll Upton had as a child in America. At one point it was very popular in Europe and as a result has become a collector's item. However, the image of the doll has become the subject of heated debate.

Blackface has been widely considered culturally insensitive and offensive since the mid-20th century. However, its roots date back to 19th-century minstrel shows in the United States, where white performers would use black makeup to portray negative stereotypes of African Americans. This practice has been condemned for perpetuating racism and dehumanizing black people.

In terms of music, they brought about all the ingredients which would eventually help create jazz, the true American genre. These included gospel, old slave songs and perhaps most particularly, improvised melodies. Following Emancipation, when black American musicians performed before audiences, their genuine skill gradually put an end to the age of blackface minstrel singers.

The minstrel, or minstrelsy, was an American entertainment consisting of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music, performed by white people in "Blackface" or, especially after the Civil War, black people in "black-face". "Black-face" branched off from the minstrel show. Minstrel shows lampooned black people as ignorant, lazy, buffoonish, superstitious, joyous, and musical. Needless to say they were incredibly racist and have justifiably fallen out of public favor

Well, that depends on your taste and what brand of punkrock you wanna play- a lot of the older punk bands had really cheap equipment because they were broke. But if you ask me Johnny Thunders had the Ultimate punk guitar set up: He used a 59 Gibson Les Paul Junior in TV yellow with a Fender Deluxe Reverb Blackface amp. No pedals, he just turned all of the knobs all the way up and overdrive on the amp. Awesome punk set up.
