Political funny pictures thread, part IV. Bring on the leather!

Blackface performers have been around a long time and it's almost a historical performing art in itself. Times change however and what was funny in the past isn't today.

You get it.

I am slightly embarrassed by it, but I understand the historical aspect of it.

In the movie I mentionedYou're in the Army Joe Louis and a lot of black performer appearances. Many were very talented dancers, but, SJW's of today would say that their style was determental to the black race.

While I am on the subject. It is amazing to me that you will never see a work up on George Washington Carver during Black History Month, because he was an Uncle Tom, by the estimation of many.

It's SJW-ing to not want the group to which you belong, as being portrayed as pitch black skinned, huge red or white lipped, buffoons?

...and I have no idea where you're getting quip about GWC being an Uncle Tom, that's a first for me.

Dive deep into Linda O. McMurry's George Washington Carver with extended ... the old dichotomy of Carver-the-great-scientist versus Carver-the-“Uncle Tom.

[FONT=&quot]During the 1960’s, Black Americans rediscovered their rich and varied African heritage and, in the process, developed a new racial pride. The impact on history and historians was enormous: new questions were asked, new methods utilized, and knowledge of the history of Afro-Americans was greatly expanded. Along with these developments, however, came a new presentist frame of reference that occasionally promoted a distorted view of the past, especially of the roles played by individuals. Black leaders such as Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver were sometimes removed from the context of their times, judged by 1960’s standards, and found grievously inadequate—“Uncle Toms,” in fact.[/FONT]

Feb 1, 2015 - George Washington Carver is universally portrayed as the “Peanut Man,” .... is that he would have been labeled an Uncle Tom and a sellout.

 

[nonobaddog]

I have heard that said about GWC. He was a smart dude and had to educate himself at least partially because of racial barriers. He was not outspoken about the issues though. He was just not a loud person. Some felt he was not outspoken enough and threw labels.

You do know, that the above is talking almost 60 years ago, right? I haven't ever heard of GWC being labeled an Uncle Tom. Booker T Washington most certainly, was considered such... and might I add, I'm FROM Alabama, spitting distance from Tuskegee.

Ocasio-Cortez says the world will end in 12 years.

Simple math. After Trump's second term Cortez will be 35 and a natural born citizen so the Dem's can run her. She spends her first term trying out all her grand ideas and shortly thereafter the world ends.

 

[nonobaddog]

I wonder if she actually hears the words that come out of her face.

I've been hearing that song and dance, my entire life.

But after midnight...
