Today’s weird opshop LP finds. I buy every comedy record I find except Bill Cosby.

first up, The Best of the Two Ronnies. These were a very famous comedy duo who in their sketch comedy show satirised the worst of popular culture

First track, a perfect rendition of treacly post war Scottish husband wife folk music duos, it was so spot on so ickle pretty sweet with perfect accents I had to check the disc to see if it was really them. God it was awful …lol

Why was the Black and White Minstrel Show still a thing in 60s and 70s? Anyway, Corbett and Barker do “The Short and Fat Minstrel Show.” I hope it offended fat and short racists and racists and sexists in general. Because what the fuck why the black and white minstrel show even exist

the satire really is shocking , people forget how harsh and impolite we had to be to stop racism ( and it still hasn’t stopped .) Every single racist trope is mentioned.

I am just 😧 😲 😲

click at your own peril, to be antiracist you had to make commentary on racism and show examples www.youtube.com/watch?v=32ePC-uVKFI
