While I do appreciate her artistry, there is some very alarming blackface going on in the tap dancing scene... kind of disappointing how widespread that was on films everywhere, apparently.

[@gainerma]

yeah, they used to copy hollywood movies a lot without thinking ...It was supposed to be "dances of the world" kind of thing... I don't think they understood back then how offensive it supposed to be (which is ridiculous now)... Still, I can't help but cringe and skip forward!

[@j.tea.b]

@@gainerma that makes sense. I had the same reaction as you. I enjoyed the rest of the clip!

[@moxiechacha1146]

It was the time period. We can’t always put our modern sensibilities on the past. Yes it’s disturbing. I’m glad it doesn’t happen now.

If that offends you I almost hesitate to share with you the cover of one of the best belly dance music albums kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYO6paVtZ7qii8k maybe people once had a sense of humor ...kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5_bZH17mJ1rq68

[@selinaaylin7224]

Thanks for highlighting this. As if it weren’t sad enough, I’m pretty sure, there are enough black people that could have done that part! It’s Egypt after all…uhmmm

Que mujer tan ordinaria, se ve que eres callejera.

[@dee-us5ph]

I was starting to like her, until she participated in blackface

[@SerenaRamzyDance]

I understand. Many felt the same. I don't believe it was the intention at the time. views were very different then.

[@fayjafa3169]

Yes. It was disgusting! and racism has ALWAYS been intentional. It was then, and it continues to be now. Smdh
