Insulting because????? If black face is the definition of insulting then it must be something evil or nasty to have a black face. Having a black face must be a face to be ashamed of? Why would Jolson ware a face to be ashamed of? Why did Jolson sing the old negro's ballots, because he hated them and blacks? Jolson was singing those old negro songs because he watched the negroes sing them in their clubs and on the streets. He wanted whites to realize the talent and beauty of old negro music.
