B.E.T

Minstrel Shows present an important parallelism to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn due to the nature of each piece. Leaving aside the obvious "race transgression " characteristic, the fact that Huck and Jim have arguments such as that about Salomon, make the novel a vivid representation of blacks lifestyle in the 19th century. Additionally, the shows/scams made by the Dauphin and the Duke throughout a relevant portion of the sequence of events ironically present a prototype of a minstrel show such as that of William H. West. Present-day Minstrel Show is without a doubt BET, (Black Entertainment Television.) It presents an stereotypical view of black people, probably directed all non-black people. The video below presents Chris's opinion about "Black Minstrel Television." One could make a strong argument by saying that one of societies fetishes throughout history has been the conception of black people. Minstrel shows are still present and applauded today, somewhat surpassing moral values and codes...  I am pretty sure the are psychological patterns that back this up, I mean, we are some fuc@!kd up specie.
