I will just say this:  I think that there is a huge difference between minstrelsy and most white people in urban areas today who carry themselves not in an entirely "white" way.  The former is a stage show, where white people "blacken up" and pretend to be something that they are not.   The latter is much more genuine, often white people who grew up exposed to, and sometimes surrounded by, African American culture and sensibilities.  It becomes a part of them.  That is not to say that there is no such thing as modern day minstrelsy.  But it is not that simple
