You all realize that someone watching this film beginning to end without context of Jolson's personal life will find it quite offensive that he is in blackface. Especially considering how many other actors wore blackface and didn't give a rat's ass about black people, so literally unless you read up on Jolson, it's fair to critique him in this film as playing into racial stereotypes of the day. Nowhere in the film does he relate his struggle as a Jew to being black, all we see is him in a club as a kid w/ black musicians, and then him putting on blackface and singing "Mammy". So everyone who is saying "you don't understand who he is/what he did" show how his performance in this film is different than other people who performed songs in blackface? If he was going for satire, playing off white supremacy, he needed to do a better job at showing it. And, he wasn't even the original actor intended for the part, it was George Jessel, someone who starred in films that played to ethnic stereotypes of Jews and Jewish humor. Someone who wasn't publicly vocal about civil rights until the 1950s-1960s. And this screenplay was written by someone who isn't Al Jolson, and directed by someone who isn't Al Jolson, so the only reason anyone is praising this movie is because Al Jolson is in it. If it wasn't him, it would have been someone who played in blackface in other things. So you can't praise this performance because it was already performed by someone else, and was later performed by at least 3 more actors in the same role, so if Jolson's reasoning was to criticize white supremacy, why did he need to put on blackface? Why couldn't he just sing jazz, or better, have a black person star in the role as a Jewish black man, thus crushing multiple stereotypes about Jews in America and not needing blackface?It just stinks to high heaven whenever someone defends something that would normally be offensive but because "it's satire!" it automatically makes it ok.

The standards of what people considered entertaining was much lower back then . . . way better now with the Kardashians and Miley Cyrus.

So there you have it! Eminem and Iggy Azelea, do it without blackface! The question is...Do they care that they exploit Black artistry, while they rake in money garner acclaim and awards? HELL NO!

The Jazz Singer is a 1927 American musical film - the first feature-length motion picture with synchronized dialogue sequences. Its release heralded the commercial ascendance of the "talkies" and the decline of the silent film era. Directed by Alan Crosland and produced by Warner Bros. with its Vitaphone sound system, the movie stars Al Jolson, who performs six songs. Darryl F. Zanuck won the Special Academy Award for producing the film and it was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Engineering Effects.

The style is outdated by today's standards, but what you see here is what all the really legendary singers have: absolute conviction and sincerity. With Jolson you can feel what he's singing, as well as hear it.

Blackface, White Noise: Jewish Immigrants in the Hollywood Melting PotMichael Rogin, AuthorDETAILS AS FOLLOWS:As part of the interest in stereotypical depictions of African Americans after Reconstruction, there have been a number of books on the powerful tradition of blackface minstrelsy. But it didn't just inform popular stage and film representations of blacks, says UC--Berkeley political scientist Rogin (Ronald Reagan the Movie and Other Episodes in Political Demonology). In a story with some similarities to that told in Noel Ignatiev's How the Irish became White, Rogin says blackface also served to ""Americanize"" or whiten immigrant Jewish blackface performers during a time of heavy domestic anti-Semitism. By donning blackface, immigrant Jewish performers could distance themselves from perceptions of ethnicity and position themselves as ""more white"" or ""American"" in a racist culture that viewed ""whiteness"" as the presumed goal of assimilation. Rogin documents the history of whites performing as blacks, from Queen Anne through Al Jolson. With chilling, bracing directness, he chronicles American culture's ""contaminated"" foundations in slavery and racism. He also observes that Jewish moguls in 1930s Hollywood evaded the subject of American anti-Semitism by ""eliminating Jews from the screen."" (At the time, Jews could play blacks, but they could not play themselves.) This is a complicated but revealing book which will be most profitably enjoyed by readers well-versed in the sometimes arcane historical celluloid material being discussed.

Hey al Jolson was the first to use the term 'mammy" it was not the Puerto Ricans. " hey there mammy let me get yo digits" . No mammies!
