#katesmith #coonshouter #mutethismf #pickaninnyheaven Man don't none of you let the Will Cains and other bigots of this land trick you. This chick knew exactly what she was doing. This ad here is from when she had her radio show in 1933, this ad is from the Cumberland Even Times in Maryland. Here's your girl Kate Smith, the lady who sang two Coon songs with vitriol and you see that blackface Minstrel beside her in the ad. Folks defending her weren't counting on you seeing this. This advertised her singing Pickaninny's Heaven. Anyone that wants to check for this ad all they have to do is go to the Newspaper.com site. Kate was one of many of what was called coon shouters, these white women were often heavyset and shared a similar look. The precious British monarchy got in on doing the coon songs, I've a princess that I will post later on. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwr2hp5hZ7z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nw9immm43weu
