"Jump Jim Crow"

"Jump Jim Crow" was a popular 19th-century minstrel song and performance that originated in the United States. It featured a character named Jim Crow, a stock villain portrayed by white actors in blackface, caricaturing and, unfortunately, demeaning African Americans. The song and act became widely known and contributed to racial stereotypes, eventually giving a name to laws and policies that oppressed Black people, known as "Jim Crow laws." These laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination for much of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The phrase now symbolizes racist stereotypes and systemic racism.
