Holiday Inn is Happy

Btw. Blackface was racism.
It’s racism as white actors characterize black people as funny and entertaining, same way also a monkey can be.
De-humanizing black (or any-) people was than- and still is wrong and plain racism.
When you look at these Blackface-clips now -in the current time- are they sincere too embarrassing to watch.

But these movies are also the historical proof of an important part of the shared history of black and white people which never must be denied or forgotten. In sake of humanity.
What have we learned from our recent past so far? Just look around and you’ll see that history repeats itself over and over again.

When you refer in you first line to black artists performing for a ‘supremacist audience’, your facts are incorrect and further in your comments you also accuse the only 3 parties who would most likely not react on your comment in the first place.
-First, Holiday Inn, which you via proxy accuse of inhumane practices. Based on the fact that ‘..you’ve heard how other hotels and companies treat their staff.’
Quite a heavy accusation with nothing to support your claim.
-Second, the Holiday Inn staff- members who appear in the clip. If I follow your logic they are all just faking and suffer from an Uncle-Tom-ing disorder.
-Third, the whites. Everybody knows that only whites are racist. Racist by birth. Nobody will deny that. An easy bet.

Though from the positive side. Times have changed and now real black performers are on stage instead of whites (..who can’t dance anyway).
And this new generation of black artists love to perform for any audience, who’re eager to pay hundreds of dollars for a ticket.
Nowadays they use fancy artists-names like Beyonce, Puff Daddy, Snoop Dogg, Miss Ellie(?)….

You don’t have to feel pity for them. As well as for the staff-members of Holiday-Inn.
Until proven otherwise is there nothing wrong with their version of the ‘Happy’ song.

Your intentions are good, I’m sure. Don’t change that.
