We take a counter-racist look at the legacy of Anti-Blackness within U.S. Pop-Culture by way of Music, Film and Television with a focus on Minstrelsy, Vaudeville, Chitlin Circuit and Blue Comedy. All of which displayed Rap, Poetry, Spoken Words and Rhyming as a fundamental element of entertainment tradition. We contend that rap has been a part of U.S. Black Classifieds entertainment tradition from its beginning. We play clips of NPR, Butterfly McQueen, Butterbeans & Susie, Moms Mabley, Mantan Moreland, Pigmeat Markham, Redd Foxx, Lawanda Page, Leroy Daniels and Rudy Rat Moore to add context.
