[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would happen if a music history professor showed West Side Story?[/quote] I took a history of film night class as a fun thing to do at the local university less than 5 years ago. The showed the 1927 film The Jazz Singer in which Al Jolson does appear in blackface. It's considered an important film because it definitively ends the era of silent films. No waring was given and nobody seemed to freak out. I can't imagine what would of happened today. [/quote] Not appropriate. If there were any Black people in the class, they were probably too demoralized by the political climate 5 years ago to think anything would be resolved if they spoke up. My nephew deals with racist comments every day at his military academy. He says it is no use to speak up and he just wants to graduate and forget about the place. Silence doesn’t mean it’s fine.
