I've seen it when I was a kid.  I saw my dad do it in minstrel shows for the Detroit Steel Mill.  He did Italians too with this song...

It's all about context.  And frankly most of the context of blackface is innocent.

I think it was the guy who used to be with Minnesota.  I forget his name.
Was it John Randle ?

When I was a kid I lived in a small town of about 250 people in eastern Kansas. The local school served the town and the local country kids. When I was in maybe the second grade there was a program that all the classes performed in by grade. I remember that all the boys in my class had red, white and blue striped pants and black top hats made out of cardboard. We all had black face, or it could have been shoe polish for all I know, and pie tins with strings attached to make cymbols. I remember we bounced around on stage banging the pie tins together singing "we are little black sambos dancing...", that's all I remember of the song. I guess I remember this because I remember my dad being upset when we got home and I couldn't figure out why. It wasn't long after that he ran for, and was elected to the school board. This would have been in the late 50's.
