In the Yoruba culture of West Africa, he is a crow named "Jim." The slave trade brought these folk tales to America and "Jim Crow" was a favorite. Some slaves even adopted a Jim Crow type attitude as a way of coping with their enslavement. They would play dumb or act the fool as a clever way of avoiding work. <br /><br />The Dance: Laws were passed in the 17th Century that prohibited slaves from performing their native dances because whites believed the slave way of dancing formed a cross with their feet, something they considered blasphemous. In order to evade the law, slaves developed a shuffle dance where their feet didn’t cross. They called the dance the Jim Crow.<br /><br />The Song: Jump Jim Crow began as a slave folk song, then became a "corn song;" sung by slaves at corn huskings. <br />----------endquote----------<br /><br />And, if it's really racist, why are 'the blacks' allowed to dance with beautiful white girls?susupplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712328565035046516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-31192070819550615062013-08-24T10:59:52.467-04:002013-08-24T10:59:52.467-04:00Not racistNot racistOld Odd Jobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14239083003799351747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-26669047529287554272013-08-24T10:32:01.556-04:002013-08-24T10:32:01.556-04:00That is just weird.
