Another reason why americans are idiots and should STFU about the 'blackface' incident since thier 'laws' and perceptions about whats right and wrong is fucked up.

Fuck they are dumb lol. Didnt even get a headshot........................

In respects to the apparent racist skit of The Jackson 5 on the show "Hey! Hey! Its Saturday!" Perhaps is can be argued it wasn't, but very little evidence can back up such statement. The skit had more reason to be racist that it being not.

The population that America has, it would be hard to contain such laws. I still question to why they really need the possession of fire arms. I read articles, and they have active fire arms campaigns. For instance the late Charlton Heston with his famous speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ju4Gla2odw "From My Cold Dead Hands". But a controversial argument in regards to firearm is the documentary "bowling for Columbine" by Michael Moore.

Personal opinion. That women should not have the possession of the hand held at a damm soccer game! ffs! who she gonna shoot? She gonna shoot someone in front of a kid.

he only thing wrong with that stupid skit was
1) it's a bit soon to be impersonating a dead fella
2) it was shit.

i agree with charlie also, what the fuck do you need a gun at the soccer game for? the stupid bitch probably thought it would intimidate the ref into giving her kid favour.


bowling for columbine is awesome in that he lied and extorted almost every person on it to get them to say what he wanted.

well with regards to the skit of hey hey, it may be a different era but it has NO meaning over here whatsoever to the term blackface, also we must note that NONE of those people were of english nationality, they were all of ethnic background from different countries but born and bred here. So in all essence, they labeled italians, Indians, Sri Lankans and such as racist too.

I say TOO much political correctness is ruining the world, many a comedian can get away with ethnical jokes and not get completely slandered. Should I start taking offence when they go on about well known things like "You guys ride kangaroo's to school and work" or "A dingo ate me baby" or other incidents, technically its like saying we are backwards when in all honesty its the americans that are backwards.

Australia's nature is to take the piss out of something without it having any prejudice to others, its the same when we call each other names and shit.

It's so bad in America that if a white guy says nigga he'd get bashed but it's ok for 2 black guys to say it to each other without meaning. As far as Im concerned, the term nigga has changed - to me it's more like whats up dude, a term for cool dude as such. If I said "charrrliee whats up nigggaaaa!" it'd be a freindly gesture and have no derogatory meaning to it as I call a white dude a nigga as a muck round mate thing.

They should just back off abit and understand that our culture is different to thiers and that we did not have any cultural references with 'blackface'. It's just that its on Youtube. and kahmal can go cry to his mamma, without hey hey, he'd just be a noone. I have a indian freind and when we were younger that was his nickname, never did he take offence, he loved it.

Anyway, americans are still stupid...a loaded gun at a kids event, the fact she saw nothing wrong with that and SUED the officer after the judge turned the case over to her favour is bullshit. He was in right mind to revoke her right to carry a weapon.

Most are idiot's I saw that article in the paper on the train and wasn't surprised one bit, theres even a story under this one regarding a US father who kills his 14yr daughter who was pregnant with his child. fucking idiots

Black face was hardly racist Charlie, most of the people being 'black' were from different ethnic back grounds.

Regarding the article; lady gets what she deserves for being a typical loud mouth american twat (aka gun-advocate)

Racism is determined by what is acceptable or not in the given culture. The performance was in Australia, was not intended to be racist and would not have even raised concern had Harry Connick Jr not been there.

Jimmy is right, the skit was impersonating 5 musicians, who are known for their songs not because their black.

Your a cotton wool kid Charlie, one of those regretfully annoying people who sees a joke as a personal attack on a culture or a bit of fun as the end of the world.

Your definitions of racist have nothing to do with the skit. They were making fun of the Jackson 5 not of the entire African-American population.

Australia does have racist, xenophobic tendencies, mainly towards muslims and asylum seekers at the moment, but defs not towards Afro-Americans.

If the jackson 5 themselves want to complain about being imitated, then they are the only people with the right to bitch, everyone else shouldn't even care.

who gives a fuck really

^ suckers who think that crying racism at anything they can will get them somewhere OTHER then more racially segregated.

1 of the most recent ones that comes to my mind where ppl cry racism is that fucking butch as fuck athlete from south africa, the 800m runner.

who flogged the fuck out of all the women in the event, she looks and talks like a fucking man.

so they said they wanted to test her to see if she had been a man or watever it was and all of south africa cried racism, its because she is black... get fucked u wankers, its because she spoke and looked like a fucking man.

turns out she was a hemaphrodite or some shit i dont know as i stopped following the story once i heard these racism cries.

its a fucking joke these days

you's are still thinking in terms of our values to our society. Theres a distinction. Perhaps its not racist to us. But its racist to them. Yet the answer is about us. As Jimmy mention is wasn't intended to the African American people. Answer it once and don't repeat yourself. What you answered is my first sentence. There was an imitation of cultural identity. One should respect the others culture. Not everyone has the same view.

These little jokes all build up, which lead to racial hatred. No one is right or wrong, you have no fucking respect to what this culture values. Selfish in mind, to only perceive it in one sense. That's your culture/society buddy. Have a laugh. It was intended for a Jackson 5 skit. Yeah. Yeah. But an american was there to judge, and did you see his reaction. Still concluding and answering that it's not racist at all in terms of our society.

What about the saying, "Imitation is the best form of flattery"

Raciscm is coined when belittling someone who is different. What these guys did was a tribute to the MJ and the group, they are huge fans, whoever coins that as racist is an attention whoring crunt

Blackface is said to have originated in America

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface



It's all becoming a fucking politically correct scene.

You can't call baa baa black.

and Midgets are 'Little People'

Midgets are midgets, NOT Doc, Grumpy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, Happy or Bashful

And someone getting offended by our skit (Where Aussies would see it as funny), Is also in a sense racist against our culture.
