“Well excuse me maam, I wants to put my unemployment form in please.” “Now hold on a minute mister, now, it says here you ain’t worked for three years” “That’s right” “Well, don’t you think it’s about time that you got yourself a job?” “But I’m lookin’ for a job right now” “You lookin’ for a job, and prayin’ that you ain’t gonna find one. Now you tell me what’s the last thing you done now” “The last one?” I used to get up in the mornin’, Go to work with the rain comin’ down. That’s when I was a handyman, Workin’ in a country town. When I was a handyman, I cut down every tree in the yard, The reason bein’, I swing my axe so hard. A handyman, Is a good thing to be. Your workin’ hours, Is from eight ‘til three When I was a handyman, I trimmed the rough edges off your lawn, I trimmed it so close, Cold chill run through your bones A handyman, Can fix your squeakin’ floors A handyman, Can shine the bell at your front door When I was a handyman, A woman had me dig in the mud, My spade hit bedrock, She hollered, “Oh my lawd” …oh my lawd…,

00:25 Incredible how the below joke is lifted directly off EMMETT MILLER's "The Lion Tamers": kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ3UnZqNYpWkaLc Emmett Miller was tremendously influential even on Jimmie Rodgers, but is completely forgotten and taboo because he played blackface. It is in this role that we performed much of his typical singing style... but totally politically incorrect according to some people. “Well, don’t you think it’s about time that you got yourself a job?” “But I’m lookin’ for a job right now” “You lookin’ for a job, and prayin’ that you ain’t gonna find one.

How is this not cultural appropriation? If it is, I'm thinking....it's worth it.

[@ojtanaka]

suck pp

[@ojtanaka]

no such thing as cultural appropriation. culture is meant to be shared.

[@yok9990]

what culture would you say it's appropriating? besides, he hasn't claimed to be the creator of this genre... he just is really good ad it

[@exin4]

Boooooo.

[@85geoffm]

Because "cultural appropriation" is an apparition created by people that want to divide us and keep us fighting each other so that we don't fight the powers that be. This can't be cultural appropriation because it is something that only exists in the mind, and it sure doesn't exist in my mind. God help anyone in whose mind it exists.
