Oh... C'mon, have a sense of humor.

Interestingly, there's not a black person in the clip.
They are whites in blackface,

It's funny that you say "american history."
The cake walk actually came from afrikan slaves imitating their white slave masters who had tried to dance.Unknowing to the slave owners, they found this amusing and once in a while would invite a slave into the "big house." At which time they'd have a chance at a slice of cake. Hence the name "cake walk."
