    It's sad to think that Stephen Foster has been sacrificed on the altar of Wokeism. A very famous statue of Mr. Foster was removed from Alt Park in Cincinnati, only because it portrays a little Black boy playing alongside him on a banjo. I have no doubt that now lost Negro Spirituals and songs were revised by Mr. Foster adding our rich American song history. I weep for Stephen Foster. "All the world is sad and weary" as true now as it was as then.

  • @Midnitetokerrr
    @Midnitetokerrr 2 года назад +152

    The song is sung from the perspective of an old black slave named Joe. He's nearing death. He's sad because all of his fellow slaves, those he was children with, those he spent time with in the cotton fields, even those younger slave children who he held on his knee--all are dead and gone.
    It's a sentimental song about slavery, written by a white northerner and designed to make white people forget about the true pain of slavery--the cruelty of overseers and compelled labor, the pain engendered when slave traders broke up families, the slaves who died because they were over-worked, under-fed, sexually exploited, and cruelly beaten. That wasn't ALL of slavery, but it was a significant element of how antebellum slavery worked in the U.S. South, and it were those elements that were heightned, of course, in antebellum anti-slavery literature, especially the narratives written by Frederick Douglass, Henry "Box" Brown, and others.
    This song wants us to forget all that. It wants us, amazingly, to think that slavery for old black Joe was a matter of feeling "young and gay" in the cotton fields, and fraternizing with friends there. Notice that although the song mentions cotton fields, it says absolutely nothing about work. Slavery was, at bottom, a form of forcibly organized labor in which white people owned black people's bodies (as chattel: moveable property) and had the legal right to extract labor from those bodies, all in the service of producing cotton, tobacco, and other cash crops and making a profit from that enterprise.
    The song wants us to forget all that. Yet it also wants us to dwell, sentimentally, in the pain of a particular slave. It's asking us to feel for him, intensely. But it's not asking us to feel for his true plight--the stuff about labor, mistreatment, and broken-up families I've outlined above. Instead, it's misdirecting our attention and asking us to feel for him purely on a human level: he's a terribly lonely old man whose friends are gone, and he longs to join them.

      Gone from my heart the world and all its charms;
      Now through the blood I’m saved from all alarms;
      Down at the cross my heart is bending low;
      The precious blood of Jesus cleanses white as snow.
      Refrain:
      I love Him, I love Him,
      Because He first loved me,
      And purchased my salvation on Calv’ry’s tree.
      Once I was lost, and ’way down deep in sin;
      Once was a slave to passions fierce within;
      Once was afraid to meet an angry God;
      But now I’m cleansed from ev’ry stain through Jesus’ blood.
      Once I was bound, but now I am set free;
      Once I was blind, but now the light I see;
      Once I was dead, but now in Christ I live,
      To tell the world around the peace that He doth give

      Thanks. This is interesting. The words fit perfectly to the melody. I wonder if Stephen Foster himself wrote these words? He did write many hymns to make extra money but would disguise, alter or use a pseudonym for his real name because writing hymns wasn’t cool and didn’t fit his brand.

    I'm an Indonesian girl. My father used to bring me cassettes of English/American folk songs for me as a child. This song's one of the most memorable for me. As I grow up and gain more understanding of English, I do realize that the lyrics are actually kinda dark, depicting the era where there used to be slaves from black people :((

      I dont want to be discouraging. You have a great voice. I was reading old articles yesterday and found that my spouse's great great grandfather was a Baptist preacher in a black rural church in West Tennessee. This song was mentioned in the program with his sermon. I only imagined the tempo to be minstrel because of the feelings i get from reading the lyrics, and listening to Robeson I felt he captured the essence with his personal experiences. It's only a matter of opinion and snap judgment for what I was looking for, and I can really appreciate your feedback on the matter. Please dont stop singing because of anything I have to say. You have an audience because you have real talent and that itself is inspiring.

    The song is not racist. The racism of the time was racist. It’s important to discern the difference between those two things. Listen to the underlying humanity of the words, words that speak to people everywhere around the globe. Enslaved black people in the USA are not the only people in the world who have been or are now enslaved. And yet those who suffered and endured made it possible for their future offspring to live and throw off slavery with the help of non-blacks. Many people endure a kind of covert slavery, and they can relate to this song. (Tu11-21-23-1210/15E)

      ​​@@CharlesSzaboPhDGorilla Tag is a virtual reality game. In some lobbies they have "ghosts" that are AI operated players. They all have a theme song that plays when your encounter them. These songs are typically very old songs that repeat a certain chorus over and over. This song, if sped up or even slowed down with a filter would be perfect for a new ghost in the game. 😅
