The role race was played in music. It was called the Minstrel Show, where white men performed as African Americans using blackface. They used the term “blacking up” when dressed up as African Americans. The entrustment used was the Banjo which originated from Africa while today we associate white, country men with banjos. The “Yellow Rose of Texas” was a song created by a minstrel, for a light skinned black woman. This later became the anthem for the Confederacy. This was the “original Jim Crow” that had stock characters to the minstrel. Personally when hearing this information since I have never before.It honestly shocked me because of how racist it was back then. Now a days people would have serious consequences for doing something like this yet back then people actually made MONEY off of this. Hearing this completely made me upset that African Americans had to sit and watch shows basically making fun of who they are.
