Or people choose to discuss the stupidity of delving into something that is potentially offensive to ANYONE.

Those people are neither minstrel show-ish (neither are they coonish). They are expressing themselves, which is what people of all races have the right to do--good or bad--agree or disagree.

The issue is when negative portrayals are most prevalent in the media and the community. And that is honestly not the entertainers' faults.

I'm so tired of Black people equating everything that THEY deem as foolish with minstrel (black face or coons).
