Sa J I I a is to art tal the the to aittor l Millard Ave Newmarket AprU Dear Sir Mr letter of April is a perfect example of the kind of thinking inspired by minstrel shows His stereotypes that Negroes have a better physique that the voice of the Negro has a tone which the white most certainly cannot match their- generous sense of humor these are all outright general izations nowhere substantiated by anthropological sociological or psychological literature That type of thinking had cur years ago but has long since been discredited It ap pears to us that Mr generalizations represent an out standing fallacy in his reasoning All Scotchmen are not stingy nor do Englishmen all lack a sense of humor nor are all Jews Shy locks If Negroes ever were known for an unusual sense of humor it was because in their circum stances they were not allowed to show resentment The minstrel show was the only form of enter tainment allowed the slave and he played his part of buffoon for his white master As great a proportion of Ne groes sing miserably offtune as any other group Regarding spirituals a Harvard researcher in Negro folklore re cently traced back a large per centage of both lyrics and music of Negro spirituals to old Scot tish Irish and English ballads which were adapted by the slaves to their peculiar circumstances Numerous Negro Quakers Con- and Christian Scientists have no great attach ment to spirituals If Mr fears that Ne groes are losing all gaiety we might suggest that perhaps they feel the need to be accorded some dignity as individuals not cate gorized by group stereotypes Then theyll be more ready to laugh with others at themselves Right the laughter has a pat ronizing ring Mr refers to his 20 years of ministerial experience Daniel G Hill our father and fatherinlaw with 33 active years in the Methodist ministry would not nor would his con gregations condone minstrel shows It is our firm belief that when a question arises of what constitutes a violation of good taste as regards a minority group the final decision should rest with the group affected Would Mr care to consult some Negro organizations in this mat ter We appreciate the more thoughtful approach of Dr Ark- install and hope that her open- minded consideration of this question will lead her to the conclusion that minstrel shows although conceived perhaps in all good will can have unfavorable social effects Sincerely yours Daniel and Donna Hill Mr and Mrs G HUD Former Keswick Postmaster Marks 84th Birthday Today HOLD imXE A final reminder goes to all the players who
