If Mickey as a character was based on blackface, why were his cartoons normal otherwise? Apart from a few blackface gags, he was just a normal cartoon guy doing normal cartoon things. The white gloves were necessary to make his hands visible from his black fur. The white parts of his face were to make his features visible. The black fur was there because he was a ripoff of Felix the Cat, and he had black fur to contrast the white background he was drawn on and gray wasn't an option back then. And finally, white gloves were a staple of performance art through the 19th and early 20th centuries. Koko the Clown had them too because that was the costume one of the Fleischers wore as a clown in Coney Island in the 1910s. tl;dr Sometimes, black fur is just black fur.

I think this line was powerful. “Black history is simply inescapable from Black identity.” No matter what level of success, a Black entertainer or artist has an added weight of responsibility that their peers of different ethnicities don’t quite have. In my opinion Black artists don’t have the freedom yet to just be artists, but rather have to be artists with centuries of history they must keep in mind and contextualize at some point in their career. Whether that be an actor taking a Civil Rights Movement Role, a painter creating a dedication piece, or a rapper choosing to rap about the past history of the Black community and trying to make sense of how we got to where we are today. Hip hop making consumption guiltless. While many rappers shy away from this responsibility or are burdened by it, Jay Z is choosing to go in that direction 100%. Jay is really trying to hammer the point of financial literacy, even though a more brash image of Jay Z is how he built his wealth. This contradiction is important for Black identity today. Generational wealth can be a goal for many, but still wanting to spend and guiltlessly participate in a tempting capitalistic economy while building that wealth can be a struggle for anyone, but especially Black people as the stakes can be higher and the culture can be more impressionable of this guilty pleasure.

Why didn’t he talk about how in the song, jay z mentions how Jewish people escalated the way they were perceived by the world from all the anti semitism by collectively changing their image and being, for the very very large majority, outstanding citizens. When you think of a jewish person, the stereotype is a rich lawyer or banker. They as a whole built that image or stereotype in today’s world for themself. Jay z mentions that in the song that the colored community should start to do the same. No longer portray such an image of gangsters, rappers, and leaving children fatherless, but an image of financial stability and better moral values. I don’t understand how that is overlooked in this video.

It's legitimately not, I have no idea where the guy in the video got the connection from but as a animation student i can tell you exactly why black inked characters were chosen. Black was chosen as the color of the characters at the time as in cinemas and tvs supported only black and white signals/film at the time thus from the need for the action in the cartoon to be clear characters needed to strongly contrast the background. They were chosen black characters with white and gray backgrounds because the opposite would result in a dark and depressing aesthetic which wasn't seen a suited for children. As for the gloves i have literally no idea how they're "part of the aesthetic" of racism? The reason why characters got white gloves was due to composition, as if a character like Mickey would to let's say put his hand over his chest, the audience wouldn't really understand what's going on clearly because both his hand and his chest are the exact same color thus white gloves were added to give the animators more freedom with what they can do with the characters

My nephew told me about this song yesterday after a deep conversation about the bottom dwelling journey of black people. Our main conversation was based on one simple question. If black people vote mainly for one political party at a 92% plus clip, what would happen if all white people voted for one party at a 92%+ clip? Anyway, back to this song - GENIUS!!!! When are we going to learn that white people can’t solve black peeps' issues, they can only pacify us? What is even sadder black people can’t solve black people's problems. We have to break away from white dependency and penalize the Democratic party for not delivering on their promises. Clinton was talking about the digital divide in 1992 (28 years ago). And Biden is still talking about the digital divide today. BS, right? What is really sad is that the pubs could care less about us, they just want 10% of us to become HN’s (Tim Scott). So what are we going to do - nuttin!!! So, again, we do nuttin but show up at the polls every four years for an extended pipe dream. Wake-up Black America. Again, this song is - GENIUS!!!! And I loved xuebrand's commentary.

Celebrities are expected to be spokesmen and women for African-Americans because the numbers of African-Americans in other areas of American life - doctors, teachers, scientists, business people - is deficient. Empowerment of African-Americans will come through education and strong families leading to America NEEDING African-Americans as doctors, scientists and entrepreneurs. This is how people of Indian and Chinese heritage have come to be accepted in a racially aware and often racist society. It's also time that African-Americans stopped assuming that they spoke for all 'Black' people and recognised that Africans and Afro-Latinos have their own histories and cultures. If they did, they might show less antipathy towards Africans and people of African origin from the Caribbean.

@@anthonyjjj3417 " ... no matter how people in the Caribbeans the South America country put it." So you continue to refuse to listen to Afro-Latinos and people from the former British colonies and to insist that they don't "put it" correctly? Slavery was not just the trip across the Atlantic; it was the subsequent experience over centuries as well. Just a few examples of how life has been different and how that experience is reflected in contemporary attitudes. 1) In many parts of the Dominican Republic, the plantation system did not exist in the way it did in the US, because it was easier for slaves to escape. Landowners had to offer paid employment to keep labour working their land. A large proportion of the black people who came to the Dominican Republic came as freed slaves and were able to settle on uninhabited land. As a consequence almost all Dominicans are mixed race and throughout the country lighter-skinned and darker-skinned Dominicans live side by side. The racial segregation that is widespread in the US is not known. Dominicans' identity is based on culture and not race. Consequently, a dark-skinned Dominican will probably be more comfortable with a light-skinned Dominican than with an African-American. 2) In Cuba, most mixed race people will identify as mixed race ('mulato' or 'mulata') and there are as many mixed race Cubans as black Cubans. In the US, there are proportionately fewer mixed race people and many who are identify as 'white' or more frequently 'black'. Mixed race Cubans would think it ridiculous to be expected to choose between identifying with their white grandfather or identifying with their black grandmother. Then there is the Cuban Revolution and the opposition to it. Cubans divide themselves as much or probably more according to political views than according to race. 3) Countries such as Jamaica have been independent, majority black countries for over 50 years. The US has never a majority balck country. Amendments to the constitutions of Jamaica and the other islands are proposed but there is no campaign to rip the whole constitution up on the grounds that it was drafted by white slave owners. The reason is that the islands saw how well democracy served them in the 80s when Latin America was ravaged by dictatorships. Also try telling a Jamaican that he or she can't speak his or her mind just because someone else is offended and you will find out how much freedom of speech is valued in Jamaica.

100% king, the video is a good analysis but misses half of the core message of the song. Jay is trying to break the black stereotype by using his platform to educate the race via re-definition of our cultural heritage. Much like Jews do, we should be sharing the values of asset ownership and wealth with our own to really eradicate the image instilled on us. Hence key lines i'm paraphrasing like "don't die over the neighborhood your mama rents in, take your money and buy the neighborhood", - "bought some artwork and every year it doubles", "yall still taking cash advances, me and my brothers are taking real chances (wealth management investment risks)"

The way how I look at this, the human race is the most beautiful creatures. None of us can say we're 100% this or that but we are all human. We all came together and developed the world in many amazing ways. Yet we destroyed this world. Honestly race shouldn't matter since many of us are a mixture of most of the common ones (Asian, white, black or from iindigenous tribes) and its beautiful. Yet horrible that we get so tied up with our selfishness and pride.
