 Blackface - Free net encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Blackface is a style of theatrical makeup that originated in the United States used to affect the countenance of an iconic, racist, American archetype, that of the "darky" or "coon".

At the time, the stage also featured comic stereotypes of conniving, venal Jews; cheap Scotsmen; drunken Irishmen; ignorant white southerners; gullible rural folk; and the like, so negative portrayals of various groups was not uncommon.
