A form of American entertainment performed by whites in blackface before the Civil War and by blacks after the Civil War. Minstrel shows usually involved dancing and singing. The shows portrayed blacks as ignorant, lazy, buffoonish, joyful, and musical. For several decades, it provided the lens for how white America saw blacks. Today, rap music and hip-hop culture is nothing more than a latter-day minstrel show, in which rappers try to put themselves and the rest of black America down by encouraging violence, being promiscuous, dropping out of school, and excessivly wasting money on trivial things such as "bling bling" and gold plated toilet seats. All the while, giving white America a view of blacks.
Minstrel shows are alive and well today. It used to be "Jump Jim Crow" 100 years ago, but today it's "Skeet Skeet Nigga"

Get the minstrel show mug.Please you ignorant buffoons, you wouldn't know a great city from your ass (I am of course talking mainly to Big K man, who i assume is not actually very big, if you know what i mean (wink wink), and Adam B).
I don't know if i can capture the essence of Montreal quite as well as Kazzie but i will try.
First of all let me point out to all those marjuana enthusiasts that although Montreal may have some of the "best weed" there is far more to this mammoth of a city then just that.
Montreal is not only internationally renowned for remaining at the height of fashion, pop culture and social atmosphere but it is also one of the most, if not THE most ethnically and culturally diverse cities in north america. As a montrealer i pride myself on the fact that unlike the melting pot that is the US, Canada and specifically Montreal welcomes (and does not judge) all races, religions and cultures, all of whom have thriving communities in Montreal. Those "frenchies" as Adam B so eloquently put it are just part of the unbelievable atmosphere that the officially BILINGUAL city of Montreal has to offer.
By the by, Montreal is also home to world renowned Mcgill Univeristy and of course to the greatest hockey team of all time...the MONTREAL CANADIENS!
So don't judge a book by its cover and certainly don't judge Montreal by the opinions of "Big" K man and Adam B as scholarly and dignified a definition as they may have wrote.

Get the Montbello mug.In American history, minstrel shows were a form of entertainment that featured white performers in blackface. Generally, the performances were disparaging to black people, and the actors conformed to negative stereotypes associated with black Americans. Minstrel shows began in America sometime in the 1830's and continued to be performed in some parts of the U.S. until the 1950's.
In the "lost episodes" of Chappelle's Show, a pixie appears in some sketches as a minstrel in blackface, exhorting various black individuals to behave stereotypically. A notable example is when the "stereotype pixie" encourages Chappelle to order the fried chicken for his in-flight meal on a plane.
