Blackface
I would like some help understanding Blackface.
How is it viewed today?
How should it be viewed?
What about collecting Blackface art or Music? Is this taboo?
One reason I ask...
I had some mixed race tenants - she was white and he was black. They seemed to have a rather large collection of Blackface art. I had a piece of art when we got married that my wife threw away because she said it may be offensive to some. Lord knows that was not my intent - so I said OK.
More recently I watched some very talented Blackface dancing/music on You Tube from maybe the 50's.
These are serious questions and I would like to have input from anyone, but, especially from my black brothers and sisters on AFF.
I understand some of the Blackface history but i really have no clue concerning current thoughts and feelings.
