A minstrel show is an American form of entertainment where black people are portrayed in a way that is comical to a white audience. Truly racist entertainment.
Remember the black people in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" or "Tom Sawyer"? That's some of the stereotypes: funny and incompetent black people.
The ad here gives you the chance to learn it and you even get your own black person makeup. If you did this today you'll end up in jail. Or shot. Or both.
