Blacking up

What’s the best thing to black up with? Shoe polish seems messy and hard to remove.

Burnt cork. You mix it with water and smear it all over yourself. According to a mate.

This is all riveting stuff, folks, but it's missing some justification of other traditional racial stereotypes. Get to it, P&B.

I’m just glad Christmas is out the way, so we can return to this important debate.

I’m sad that the racists have ‘blacking up’. I’m taking it back! Going to the pub today blacked up. If footballers can do it, it’s only a matter of time until the general public get involved! Look at tattoos!

Why are you taking it off?

I know it's not my color
I'm feelin' mighty blue
I've had a lotta trouble
I'll tell 'em all to you
Now I'm just plain disgusted
Thru life an' that's a fact
Because my hair is wooly
An' because my color's black

CHORUS:
Coon, coon, coon
I wish my color would fade
Coon, coon, coon
I'd like a different shade
Coon, coon, coon
Both morning, night or noon
I'd rather be a white man
Instead of bein' a coon

Surely this is racist. Is it ok to be an ironic racist?

That was my Mother's New Year song.

Your mother wanted to be a man? In the new inclusive Scotland that could be a reality.

 

Sadly, she's no longer with us. She got 5 years for inciting racial hatred. They would let her out if she would show any remorse.

On a slightly separate, but still racist note, shout out to me old dad earlier when playing Trivial Pursuit (Family Edition) with the bairn. She asked him what country is made up of number of prefectures and he answered "I think it's the chinkies".

Confused look from the bairn. 

Blue Mink's most famous song 'Melting Pot' written by Roger Greenaway and BM co-frontman Roger Cook and sung by co-frontee Madeline Bell who was black, must have thought they were ground breaking with the topic until they dropped the ball in the second verse.

Quote

Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of Red Indian boy

Curly Latin kinkies
Mixed with yellow Chinkees
If you lump it all together
Well, you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh, what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all it's got
And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee colored people by the score.

Not convinced there'd be a ball to drop back then.
